Ubuntu – VMware tools are not compatible with Ubuntu 11.04

ubuntu 11.04vmware-player

I upgraded Ubuntu to the latest version (11.04) on VMware 7 with a lot of effort to boot the virtual computer from GRUB CLI. Then I reinstalled the VMware tools again since I couldn't run Unity Mode.

However, they are not compatible. When I enter the Ubuntu system in GNOME classic, I can only see a part of the screen which means the bar at the bottom disappears.

How can I solve it?
