[AccessD] Syncing Virtual Machines

I used VMWare for perhaps 2 years but when I installed Windows 2008 and Hyper-V suddenly VMWare 
stopped working.  If I understand it right, the two do not co-exist which makes sense seeing as both 
are trying to "own" the hardware for virtualizing it for the VMs.  In any event I now use Hyper-V.
