[vmware-player]: Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory

I am running on vmware player on Centos 5.8(final) 32 bit. Everytime I attempt to start an existing virtual machine, an error dialog pops saying:
"Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory ..."

I've already installed devfsd (2.4.3-12.i386.rpm) but still there is no /dev/vmmon folder.
I also followed the steps on the following link thinking that it will resolve the problem but it did not:

I searched the forum but i haven't seen any significant or relevant topic.
Hope someone has an idea on how to solve this.

Thank you!
