Why WIndows 2008 display size is very small in vmware workstation 11?

Hi Please see the attached picture. The Windows2008 is running as guest in vmware11.  Why WIndows 2008 size is very small in vmware workstation 11? I changed the host PC display with different resolution. but Widows2008 is still very small. I hope it can cover entire display. Thank you

One more question, The vmware station contain several system, such as windows7 , which works very well, and windows2008. but for windows2008 now, mouse can almost get no any respond after clicking on any icon in the windows2008. even if reinstalling vmware tool again.
The solution to that is to try a different mouse. Good Logitech mice work fine with my guest machines
