Cannot start VMPlayer

[Dotan Cohen]

Until recently I had no problem starting VMPlayer and running a
virtual WindowsXP. The probelm _may_ have started when I updated via
apt-get, as I have had other problems since. Now, when I try to run
VMPlayer, I get this:

dotancohen at ubuntu:~/video2$ vmplayer WindowsXP.vmx
/usr/lib/vmware-player/bin/vmplayer:

Also, two error messages pop up, but they are blank. They have only an
OK button, no text.
