vmware player usb device on slackware 14.0
I just installed Slackware 14.0. I installed vmware player using this command:
sh VMware-$NAME-$VERSION.bundle --console --ignore-errors
Which I found from this website:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/installation-of-vmware-player-4-on-slackware-13-37-32-bit-909539/
That allowed me to install a guest version of Windows XP (microcontroller programming). But I'm unable to connect a usb device to the guest xp vm. The usb device is acting like a serial device.
Any thoughts?

I forgot to mention, this is the error I'm getting when I try to connect the USB device to the guest xp vm: serial1: Unable to open the "COM1" serial port: No such file or directory.

Power down your VM and exit VMWare player.
Locate the .vmx file of this virtual machine.
Open it with text editor and seek for the serial0.fileName parameter.
change its value to "/dev/ttyUSB0" (use the actual name if you have more than one USB serial device connected to you host system; they are all named with ttyUSBxxx, where xxx - is a numeric):
serial0.fileName = "/dev/ttyUSB0"
Save the file and start your VM.
It should find the port now.

I saw this same error using a VM of Debian on Windows with VMPlayer when trying to bring in a real serial port. Everything was set properly as Serge said in his answer, it just happened that my serial port was open with another application.
