A VMX file is the file that contains all the info about what kind of
hardware configuration info, such as how much ram, network
configuration, Mac address, sound card. The VMware Player is supposed
to be a tool you use with pre-exisitng VMs created on another machine
with a paid for product. But there are tools out there for creating VMs
without having to buy anything. Try

With reports of VMware GSX being offered up for free, I wonder if they
will start giving away their Workstation version too? Even with the
price on the GSX version dropping to $0, I still like the ESX version
and would rather stick that up than a GSX server.
