I did this and rebooted, and vmware is still unhappy.

The machine in question has VMware Server 1.0.2 (2/28/07) build 39867.  I've
been meaning to install a newer version but want to make sure that I won't
have to also rebuild the virtual XP machine, which was a terror to get right.
But I'm pretty sure I can leave that in place.

Thanks.
