Thanks for your help, it gave me some insight but prior to reading that when 
I installed vmware the second time, I created a folder in my home directory 
for the virtual machines.  However, I still got the error message that I am 
not authorized to do that.  I added myself to the disk group so I could have 
full permissions to the hard drive.

The passage did not tell me how to allow an ordinary user to create a new 
virtual machine.
