This is a real head scratcher. I have been using this vm for weeks. All day.
Today I installed a new router. So now I have a gateway device and a router. This should not matter.
I am using VMware-player-3.1.5-491717 on Windows XP host.
I have 4 vm's. It doesn't matter which one I touch with the mouse. Once I touch/click one of them, Player will put a lock
file in the vm's directory.Once it does, I cannot close the vm. It will say "The Virtual Machine is busy". If I start
vmWare Player, and then quit, that works.
It is just if I touch/click a vm, then Player cannot close except by task manager.
These are the contents of the lock files from 2 different vm's.

It doesn't create a vmware.log file, if I move the log files elsewhere.
I see nothing in the windows logs...
I uninstalled it, reinstalled it. Same thing is happening.
I need some help on this one.
