OK, try the following please: - Open up a console - Change into the directory where the files of your virtual machine are stored. - Execute the following command in this directory: /usr/bin/vmplayer -X <vm.vmx> Replace <vm.vmx> with the filename of your vmx-file If this does not work, please change to pure text mode please: - Open a text console - Enter the following command: init 3 Then start the virtual machine again with the following command: xinit /usr/bin/vmplayer -X <vm.vmx> What is the exact error message? Without the exact message I can't help :(. >Christian Kind regards, Christian -- Christian Schoepplein <chris at schoeppi.net> Manage your communication: http://www.otrs.com Linux for the blind: http://www.blinux.suse.de
