I think your have issue with the operating system and so therefore your getting this issue and so i need to know which Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit with 11.04. as i know 64-bit with 11.04 has lots of bug with the VMware Player 4.

Hello everyone, i have got this issue while copy/paste problem, i can work with the desktop mode but not able to work on unity mode. so after that i have upgraded VMware Player to VMware Player 4.0.0 build-471780 and mine issue was get solved. so i think you should install the VMware Player 4.0.0 build-471780 to solve this issue. i have VMware Player 4.0.0 build-471780 with fully patched Windows XP host.

Yes i think you should install the latest updated to the latest version and if you have not updated the VMware Player 4 to latest version then i would like to suggest you to go through the official website and install the latest update.
