Hi Wil,

Thanks for the suggestions.  

The only thing I found was the 3D graphics memory was set to 1024MB.  I changed that to 8192MB but my error occurred again soon thereafter.  I did restart after making the change.  

The only thing left was the VMware Tools so I uninstall them and reinstalled.  I thought that might have solved it since it was running without incident.  Well, at least for a few days until the error resurfaced once again.

Ugghh.  I tried to turn off 3D acceleration but it just turns itself back on again.  Any other suggestions

Thanks again
