VMware Player 6 hangs on start-up (Windows 7) after Tools update

Hi - I'm using VMware Player under Windows 7, with Xubuntu as my guest OS.

 

I upgraded to v6 last week, and didn't have any problems. I was using it ok initially this morning, then upgraded to the latest VMplayer tools (as prompted). Looked like it went ok. I did some stuff in Windows, then went back to my VMplayer window - it was 'Not Responding' and went that sort of light grey colour.

 

Left it for a few minutes, but no change, so I used Windows Task manager to kill the task. Tried starting VMplayer again, but it won't start up at all - I just get the dialogue which would normally show me the list of OSs to choose from, but none of the text or graphics get displayed.

 

Task Manager shows the vmware-vmx.exe process as taking approx 100k memory, and hardly any CPU time.

 

Any suggestions? Reinstall player?

 

Cheers

John
