ok
here is a new one..............
running /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl  gives me the error:

Making sure VMware's services are stopped.
 
Stopping VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]
   Bridged networking                                      [  OK  ]
   Host-only networking                                    [FAILED]
   Virtual ethernet                                        [FAILED]
Unable to stop VMware's services.
 
Execution aborted. 



Of course, it makes complete sense that since it could not start them in
the earlier attempt, stopping them would be equally impossible..;->


....next idea??


thanks again
