Seems to me that the FLICKER problem and SCREEN GOING BLACK are related.  And there is NOTHING I can do to stop the problem, only make it not as bad.  For example not using Chrome will make it not as bad, but it is still there.

VMWARE NEEDS TO FIX THIS!  I pay a GOOD CHUNK of $$$$ to stay up to date every year.  This I quickly becoming a waster of $$$$ and my time!
