Windows could not start the VMWare Authorization Service service on Local Computer

Windows could not start the VMWare Authorization Service service on Local
Computer

I tried to run VMWare Workstation but it gave me an error:
"Transport (VMDB) error -44: Message.
The VMware Authorization Service is not running."
I tried to find the solution to this and I got to this website:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1007131
telling me to run the service manually. Then I tried to do everything they
said to do. and it gave me the error:
"Windows could not start the VMware Authorization Service service on Local
Computer
Error 1075:The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for
deletion"
So I found this question:
The VMware Authorization Service is not running
Which told me to "repair" when clicking the installer. So I ran:
VMware-Converter-all.exe (I dont even know if this is the right one) and I
clicked repair. So I tried it again and It still gave me the same error.
The Windows could not start error. Now I am at a dead end. What should I
do to fix this?
