I have one Toshiba toughbook that has a problem with the vmware authorization service. It fails to start when the PC is restarted, but will start up fine if the PC is given a minute or two once it is started and then you go in manually and start the service. I have 3 identical machines all built with the same image but only one has the issue.
It is running VMWare player 2.0.3 and I have uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times.
The problem is that my users don't run with administrative priveleges and can't start the service.
