Is there anything I can do to prevent my Vmware Workstation CPU usage from hitting 100%? I only have one program running on it and it's continuously hitting 100% CPU usage, yet it works outside of the workstation without any issues.

You can open up the Task Manager and remove one core from the Processor Affinity screen.
It will effectively prevent that application from using all of your CPU cores
If it works outside of the workstation without issues then is that second computer more powerful? Does your workstation have other things running? How have you confirmed that this software is in fact causing the issue? Is the workstation infected with a virus?
If you are really feeling brave then you can look into setting priorities and stuff but that could screw things up on your system.
