Hi

Good news the problem is solved.

Thanks to every one that helped

Remenber this message, that I got trying to install vmware-server
"Please remove it by running *vmware-uninstall.pl* before proceeding"
and I could not find it

Well I did not have it. And now that I have vmware-server installed I 
still do not
have that file.

Solution I deleted all the files with  *vmware* but that did not work.

I search al the folders and found */etc/vmware*
in that folder there were two files called: *config,* *locations*
I deleted them, then proceded to install vmware-server guest what it works.

Hope that this message can help somme one else.

Thanks again

Bye
    Guy
