I was running a VM with XP Pro and had to reboot my laptop. Now when I try to start any VM the program goes to the VMWare spash screen (with the little square), and never leaves. I let it go for an hour, no luck. I have to use task manager to kill the process. THen I have to clean up the ",lck" files. I have several VM's, and it's doing it for all of them.
Environment
Dell Studio XPS 1600 Laptop
Windows 7 x64
4GB RAM
VMWare Workstation V7 (just upgraded from V6)
What is going on?
did you install any new evil antivirus software ?
if not - post the vmware.log from last start attempt

Well, I "resolved" it by uninstalling and reinstalling VMWare. Now it seems to be working.
If it happens again in the near future I'll post here again.
