Of course it is SOMETHING on the laptop.  This thing has worked in the past,
then for whatever 
reason it stopped.  I went so far as to uninstall VMWare, clean the
registry, reboot, reinstall 
(with a much newer version), and it still doesn't work.

The sad part is that I could do a lot of good work if I could get the VM
working.  I want to build a 
2007 runtime database but I am not going to pollute my dev machine with
2007.
