Can't open an existing VM

I have 2 VM's defined .. I receive the following when I attempt to open my WinXP VM (running Beta 3036). Both VM's were running and stopped cleanly prior to the reboot.

"Virtual machine WinXP cannot be opened since it is already used in another Parallels Desktop window."

I have verified that no Parallels process is running prior to starting the WinXP VM.

I'm assuming there is a lock file out there that needs to be removed .. somewhere

Thanks

 

Found it .. the lock file was in ~/Library/Parallels/WinXP

 

Same here. Parallels sometimes doesn't remove lock file after it is closed.

 

What's the filename for the lock file?

 

.winxp.pvs.lock

You'll probably need to fire up Terminal.app and:

cd Library/Parallels/winxp
rm .winxp.pvs.lock

HTH and thanks to rross - just had this problem myself
