    OK this is urgent... my VM is stuck in Stopping mode. What I have tried -

    1) rebooting
    2) killing the prl* processes in Activity Monitor
    3) deleting the .mem and the .sav files under the VM .pvm archive (there are none to delete)...

    Please help, this is urgent.

    Thank you,

    Build 7.0.15094

    Thanks! I tried that, no luck. I actually resolved it myself.

    Parallels didn't even respond to my request for support. Massive fail.

    I used to have this issue on my old MacBook Pro, where I used Parallels to boot into my BootCamp Environment. Since I replaced my MacBook Pro with a new one, this hasn't happened, but then again, I have gone "pure virtual" and I don't use BootCamp now. I think it was caused by the Paragon HFS+ driver for Windows being installed on my BootCamp environment, which would cause conflicts when the partition was booted in a VM.
