I've just installed the VMware Workstation 10.0.1, but when I try to boot a virtual machine (I've created a new guest and I also have a virtual disk image of another VM), it doesn't start to run and I get this error: "Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to". I've googled around but didn't find a solution to the problem. I am using Windows 7 64 bit. I also have VirtualBox installed (maybe VMware goes in conflict with VirtualBox?).

What should I do? I need those virtual machines to run.

If the above solution didn't work, just restart your machine (Physical machine) and try booting again.
