Wil,  sorry for the late reply but I figure I'd wait until I experienced this issue again before providing my VMware.log.  Of course as it sometimes goes, post the issue and it doesn't occur again.  

However, I did make one change that might have resolved it; at least thus far no errors since I posted here.  I found in Windows, under the advanced scan settings for my display that somehow custom scaling was set to 200%.  It says to enter a scaling size from 100-500% but in parenthesis it states: "not recommended".  I'm not sure how this got set so I removed the scaling all together and thus far things appear to be stable once again.  

If it flairs up again; I'll be back.  

Thank you for reaching out, I appreciate it.
