Just started...

I once had a similar error in one of the vmware clients. I had to delete said client, re-download, extract and re-install the client - not Vmware. Ended up being a corrupted client.

Can you explain what I should do?
What do I reinstall?... I've tried reinstalling the VMware software and that didn't work.
I don't think I installed anything else except the GPU client.
Did I miss something?

Delete the client.
Re-download the package.
Re-install the client.
Re-configure.
Reset.
Re-start.

Same as you did the first time around, when you started from scratch - minus the VMware app installation.

What do you mean by package and client?
I'm a little confused... keep in mind that I'm totally new to this.
If you mean the folding.zip I'll try that, but don't remember installing anything.
I just unzipped, renamed the folder, and doubleclicked folding.vmx

I believe he means the 'folding.zip' file.

The package is the download.
The client is the folding.zip file.

I never did get to the re-configure or reset steps.

I downloaded it again and unzipped it... still get the same errors when trying to run folding.vmx

I'm using VMware player version 2.5.2 but the guide uses 2.5.1
Could that be the problem?
I thought I saw others using this version without problems.


**edit**
Tried 2.5.1 and get the same errors.

Well I've tried un/re-installing VMware player...
I've downloaded the folding.zip package a few times...
Still get the errors.

I think I'm stuck.

I'm going to take a wild stab here...I see you are using Vista. Uninstall vmware, and when you re-install, install the software in a folder outside of the "Program Files" directory (create a folder directly off of the C drive called 'vmware folding', etc). Sometimes there is an issue running folding apps inside of the Programs Files directory in Vista. Worth a shot. Also make sure you have UAC turned off in Vista.

Also make sure of course you extract the 'folding.zip' folder, and simply are not just double-clicking on the vmx file while previewing the zip file contents.

I have to go out for a while but I'll try that when I get back.
