VMware crash on startup
Hi all
This is kind of urgent... please give any advice if possible. I'll try and explain it as simply as possible.
As a new user of VMware, I was impressed with it. Until it decided to freeze every time I start it. I have an assessment due tomorrow, and I need to submit the files via terminal... the only copy of these files are in the virtual machine
Basically it tries to resume my last session, which is on the login screen. If I try to either restart the machine or login, the screen becomes unresponsive, and I have to open tskmgr to end the process.
Is there any way at all that I can salvage my files, or restart the machine? Providing a screenshot would be useless I think...
Your help is much appreciated.

EDIT: the screen freezes once I even try to click *anywhere*

netrc
NETRC(5) BSD File Formats Manual NETRC(5) NAME
netrc -- user configuration for ftp SYNOPSIS
~/.netrc DESCRIPTION
This file contains configuration and autologin information for the File Transfer Protocol client ftp(1). The .netrc file contains login and initialization information used by the auto-login process. It resides in the user's home directory. The following tokens are recognized; they may be separated by spaces, tabs, or new-lines: machine name Identify a remote machine name. The auto-login process searches the .netrc file for a machine token that matches the remote machine specified on the ftp command line or as an open command argument. Once a match is made, the subsequent .netrc tokens are processed, stopping when the end of file is reached or another machine or a default token is encountered. default This is the same as machine name except that default matches any name. There can be only one default token, and it must be after all machine tokens. This is normally used as: default login anonymous password user@site thereby giving the user automatic anonymous ftp login to machines not specified in .netrc. This can be overridden by using the -n flag to disable auto-login. login name Identify a user on the remote machine. If this token is present, the auto-login process will initiate a login using the specified name. password string Supply a password. If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the specified string if the remote server requires a password as part of the login process. Note that if this token is present in the .netrc file for any user other than anonymous, ftp will abort the auto-login process if the .netrc is readable by anyone besides the user. account string Supply an additional account password. If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the specified string if the remote server requires an additional account password, or the auto-login process will initiate an ACCT command if it does not. macdef name Define a macro. This token functions like the ftp macdef command functions. A macro is defined with the specified name; its con- tents begin with the next .netrc line and continue until a null line (consecutive new-line characters) is encountered. If a macro named init is defined, it is automatically executed as the last step in the auto-login process. SEE ALSO
