I am helping out with an issue while our desktop person is on vaca. They have installed vmplayer 7.1.4 build-385536 on windows 7 PC's. This in in a college lab where all machines are part of the domain and students login with domain credentials. The machines are also in DeepFreeze. The objective is to have a student use vmplayer create a VM so that they can perform all of their course work on this VM. The issue is that upon doing this, the student is getting the following error;
Faulting application name: vmware-ufad.exe, version: 6.5.0.8870, time stamp: 0x4c6d9748
Faulting module name: MSVCR80.dll, version: 8.0.50727.4940, time stamp: 0x4ca2b271

Report Id: acfa88a5-3ad6-11e1-990c-005056c00008
If I go into services, and try to start the VMAuth service, I get 'access denied opening vmmon device'. I have tried setting up the service so that it is automatic (was manual) and I am using domain credentials that have been granted log on as a service rights on thsi workstation. This didnt seem to do anything.
I have seen a lot about vmmon device in linux, but not Windows 7. Im not sure how to get by this.
Any ideas ? Has anyone seem/solved this ?
Thanks
