Vmware player will not start after reboot

[Sean Malone]

The first time I began using Vmware player, I installed the synaptic one
and it worked perfectly.  About a week ago, I was working on my touchpad
drivers and when I went to use vmware I started having problems.  I've
tried to unistall it and re-install but I would get the following
error:

about a week.  At frist I would get an error while I start it up.  I
couldn't uninstall it thru synaptic.  I got it to start up when I
downloaded VMware player from vmware.com, I ran the script and it
installed vmware player.  I started it up and it ran fine.  However, If
I rebooot my laptop, vmware player will not start.  I get the following:
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for this
system. To (re- )configure it, invoke the following command:
> /usr/bin/vmware- config.pl.

If I reboot it will not.  The only way that I know is to run vmware-
config.pl.  Can anyone help me with this?  Thanks.

So you didn't uninstall the synaptic one ?!
I think that vmware kernel modules are not load at startup, or vmware 
'thinks' that they are not (certainly cause of the synaptic 
installation) . Try hard to uninstall it.
