Some additional details as I continue troubleshooting
Found the following items by running a Process Monitor on vmware.exe
6:38:46 %temp%\vmware-aaron.page\vmware-ui-aaron.page-6320.log WRITE [SUCCESS]
This file has ben reviewed and contains the following items of interest (attached one from the computer with the issue - file name 6320, and also attached one from a computer running just the eval that did not exhibit the issue, file name 6276):
2011-09-22T18:38:44.807-05:00| vmui| I120: [msg.dictionary.load.openFailed] Cannot open file "C:\Users\aaron.page.TX\AppData\Roaming\VMware\config.ini": The system cannot find the file specified.

2011-09-22T18:38:45.302-05:00| vmui| I120: HostDeviceInfoGetDiskInfo: CreateFile \\.\PhysicalDrive1 failed: Access is denied
Additionally, the following line is the last line in the log file, presumably because the program crashed:
2011-09-22T18:38:46.714-05:00| vmui| I120: CDS: Using HTTP proxy 10.184.3.254:8080 for https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/7.1.3/324285/windows/packages/metadata.xml.gz.
Also seeing alot of cdstmp_[processID]_#.gz files being created.
And lots of localhost traffic that looks like the following:

6:38:46 NSC-TX-WKS1:3791 -> NSC-TX-WKS1:https TCP-CPY [SUCCESS]
And some internet traffic. Maybe an update check?

6:38:46 NSC-TX-WKS1:3793 -> TXSA5830COCOM3:8080 TCP-CPY [SUCCESS]
