OK, try the following please:

- Open up a console
- Change into the directory where the files of your virtual machine are
  stored.
- Execute the following command in this directory:

  /usr/bin/vmplayer -X <vm.vmx>

  Replace <vm.vmx> with the filename of your vmx-file

If this does not work, please change to pure text mode please:

- Open a text console
- Enter the following command:

  init 3

Then start the virtual machine again with the following command:

  xinit /usr/bin/vmplayer -X <vm.vmx>

What is the exact error message? Without the exact message I can't help 
:(.
