I'm sorry, I got it working. I had to reboot.

Let me apologize to the list for this statement also. I was quite frustrated 
when I sent the E-mail. After fighting with 3D for 3 whole days and then GE 
messing up at first glance. I started second guessing Linux. Asking myself 
why do I do this? I could have installed it on windows and be done with it.

But, after I decided to reboot as a last ditch effort, it worked and I was 
happy again.

Then today I spent a couple hours trying to run VMware player and it actually 
went really smooth and I finally got a virtual windows installation that 
works. This made me even more happy.
