I am noticing I am getting that crash screen ( where it turns black with a black box stating to restart ) while typing this I actually crashed. Anyone have a clue what could be going on here..

I believe you KP is being caused by a version of VM Ware Fusion that is way out of date and not compatible with the version of OS X currently installed on your computer. The KP appears to occurs when your system "sees" com.vmware.kext.vmnet    3.1.4 . The current version of Fusion is 5.X, this puts you 2 generations out-of-date. Fusion does not need to be running in order to cause an KP, it simply has to be present on your system. I would recommend either following VMWare&#x27;s instructions for uninstalling it or purchasing the upgrade to Version 5. Klaus1 is correct about the other causes however in your case I believe it&#x27;s being caused by Fusion.

OK, remember to follow VMWare&#x27;s instructions for uninstalling, once you have then restart the computer in Safe Mode to clear any corrupt caches. Then restart normally, test and post back with the results.
