Ouch, dead end thread. I just ran into this issue as well. Glad someone resolved it, gives me hope anyway
real quick here are you using player or workstation???
player may not allow you to adjust screen resolution, However, you can make these adjustments in workstation in a number of different ways...
Neither, I'm using server
I finally got around to figuring this out. What I wanted to do was run my guest Windows XP in wide-screen (1280x800) resolution to match that of my Ubuntu host. First I installed the VMWare Tools on the guest.
VMWare guest install instructions:

Then I followed Petr's instructions, found on the VMWare forums, for modifying the guest registry for the new resolution.

After rebooting the guest OS, I was then able to select the new resolution from the windows display properties.
Good luck!
