Solution 1

No. You should use the VMware driver supplied by the guest toolbox.

Solution 2

If you are able to connect the Internet through VMWare, Try by going through System > Administration > Hardware Drivers . You'll then see that Nvidia drivers are not in use. Check (or tick) the box underneath Enabled to enable the drivers. Wait for the drivers to be installed. Then, click Close once the changes have been applied.

I'm using VMware® Workstation v7.0.1 build-227600, I've installed it on my Win7 x64
I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 on VMware

Whenever I've posted lspci | grep VGA in Ubuntu's Terminal the following info has showed :
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter

Now , I'm gonna use Ubuntu Visual Effect, so I have to install Video Card Driver.
Is it possible to install Video Card Driver in Ubuntu this situation ?

BTW, My video card is NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
