Black screen appears after login on Win 8.1 guest

I'm using Wks ver 10.0.1 and latest version of Tools.  I upgraded the Win 8 guest to 8.1 and since then, after the Win8 login, I get nothing but black screen.  I've tried the following with no success:

  • I've changed the Display settings to uncheck Accelerate 3d Graphics, also to Specify monitor settins (max 1 monitor, lowered resolution below monitor capability of 1920x1080)
  • I'm unable to use any of the standard keyboard shortcuts (such as F8 to get a Windows boot menu so I can attempt safe mode).  There's no keyboard response at all until the Win8 login screen appears
    • I did notice that under Enhanced virtual keyboard, there's a message 'VMware keyboard driver is not installed on the host'.  Would installing that make any difference here?
