VMware WS 8 has a GUI interface to VMware Tools. Install VMware Tools in your guest OS if it has not been auto installed . Then open VMware Tools in the notification area of the toolbar and deselect time sync (uncheck) if it is enabled (chekced). Revert your .vmx file back to the original (you did make a backup the original .vmx file of course before editing it of course?" SOP before editing any configuration file). Like every other answer your mileage may vary but let us know.
