VMWare 3.2.1 is pretty old, I would guess you are getting
incompatibilities between the newer kernel and the older "hardware". 
The latest VMWare is now 4.5.1.  I have recently run Fedora Core 1 on it
and it works just fine for me.  If you just want to see if the VMWare
version is the problem I think they offer 30 day demo keys.  That should
be enough time to test everything out.  The upgrade is $99 through their
website.

Thanks,
