Workstation 9 randomly loses second monitor

$

When running guests and working inside a guest, I experience than certain things can trigger VMWare to suddenly drop it's second monitor and go back to single monitor, I then have to click the "Cycle Multiple Monitors" twice to get back into multi monitor mode, but this is really fustracing everything is left on that single monitor and I again have to put things out on the right monitor before I can continiue working.

This happens both in normal and exclusive mode, I have tried to adjust monitor settings to see if I could force it to maintain 2 monitors if I explicitly instructed that it had 2 monitors.

The monitor configuration is one vertical and one horizontal.

I havent found a specific pattern to when it happens, sometimes it's when applications launch in elevated mode, other times it's when I start debugging from Visual Studio, and then there is the other situations where I honnestly can't remember the tasks I was doing atm. so those are the ones I refer to as random...

Can anyone come with some ideas on what might be the issue here?...
