Have you upgraded the kernel too? In this case you have to reconfigure vmware using the script vmware-config.pl

maybe you have to be root to run vmware-config.pl but I'm not sure because I don't know Ubuntu.
If you can't find vmware-config.pl type
Code:
 
whereis vmware-config.pl
to check the path of the command and execute it whit the complete path.
