Can't shut down a guest machine

For some reason my VMWare Workstation (6.0.2) runing on Vista 64bit (flawlessly for months) has decded not to enable anything on the VM/Power menu.

The entire menu is grayed out.

I have a windows 2000 guest with the shutdown window saying "It is now safe to turn off your computer".

But since nothing on the VM/Power menu is operational, there is no way to power it off.

What cause the entire VM/Power menu to be grayed out?

Usually because it believes its in the process of a powering event.
