You are running a very old vmplayer version 2.5.2 on Windows 7 - 64 ?
did it really work before ?
why dont you use the latest of the 2.5 series ?

[Thibax]

Because of a group policy.

We actually are using an application only working on 64b stations, and also other "smaller ones" only running on 32b stations.

Thats why 64b workstations were bought, with a "vmware 32b package with all needed softwares already installed"

Thank you,

Thib

and it really did work before ?
so what has changed ?

new BIOS settings ?
new firewall or antivirus tools ?

[Thibax]

Yep, it perfectly worked until this morning

According to the concerned user, an antivirus update asked him to reboot the physical machine the day before
