I'm still trying to get it back as it's used.
I removed VMware Player and install VMware Workstation (9.0.0.812388 - without license - use VMware player only). And here are some errors I found in:
/var/log/vmware/hostd.log
2013-02-22T16:01:49.545+07:00 [B76F26D0 info 'Libs'] Msg_AppendMsgList stub: Cannot open file "/etc/vmware/ft-vmk-version": No such file or directory.2013-02-22T16:01:49.557+07:00 [B76F26D0 error 'Default'] An error occurred while loading configuration "/etc/vmware/ft-vmk-version",not all entries are being read.

And here is in /var/log/message when I lauch VMware Workstation:
Feb 23 15:44:29 centos kernel: do_IRQ: 3.115 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)
Some questions, please help:
1. What should I understand about the errors of missing files under /etc/vmware/ ?
2. Are those files needed with VMware Workstation? How about them with VMware Player? How important are they?
Thank you!
