My spare parts, twin screen PC is now running smoothly under 'obsolete' Windows 2000. I've got Vmware Server running guests created in other hosts, provided the guests have been shut down correctly.
I've also come across the dreaded '511 vmware-serverd service is not running' message. This seems to be a general purpose grumble, along the lines of Apache's 404 message.
In my own case, I cleared it by removing all the 'Datastore' lines in
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware Server\config.ini
Then I went to the Control Panel, ran the Administrative Tools application, selected Computer Management and, from the Services and Applications list, selected the Services item. I restarted the VMware Registration Service and the whole thing sprang to life.
VMware Server is a useful tool but you do need to treat it with care.
