    I have a Vista VM and an XP VM on the same separate drive. Both work fine launched from aliases of the .pvs files.
    But if I start the Parallels application, I used to be offered a choice of which VM I wanted to edit, but now it only shows the XP VM.
    I have tried trashing Parallels prefs, and uninstalling and re-installing Parallels (3188) without effect.
    Any ideas welcome.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Thanks for quick reply!

    I had tried this, but got a message that the name was already used and try another. I entered another name, but kept getting the same message, and the only way out was to cancel.

    Encouraged by your response that I was on the right track, I changed the name of the pvs file from Vista to VistaBus and the did as your post, and this time it worked.

    Thanks again

    Mike
