Ubuntu released a Kernel Update a few days ago: VMWare Kernel Modules have 
to re-built for each Kernel Release...  Normally all you have to do is 
manually run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl (with Root Privileges), otherwise 
re-install VMWare Player and Installer should re-built the VMWare Kernel 
Modules for the currently running Kernel...
