Problems connecting to update server VMW Player 3.1.3

[craighouston01]

Trying to perform software updates (primarily so I can view my Player in full screen), but never seems to be able to connect to the server. The address it is trying to connect to is https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds, which I can browse to but there appears to be very little on the page. I've tried this on two different broadband connections with the exact same result. Left running for 3 hours one time but no progress!! :smileyshocked:

Anyone got any ideas??

this has been reported so often and there is still no working solution

thats why I would just download the new version and do it the old fashioned reliable way:

uninstall - disable UAC - reboot - install new version - reboot - (re-enable UAC)
