Hi I keep getting the above error, however I don't have this VM open anywhere else? Even when I gracefully shut the VM down I still have the issue. I get this problem regularly with all my VM's please help Thanks Neil
What version Parallels are you using (from About Parallels in the Parallels Desktop menu) ? This is a very old bug i thought had been fixed now.. to resolve the issue manually, you must open Terminal from Applications > Utilities cd ~/Library/Parallels then cd to the directory of the VM having problems rm *.lock then you should be able to restart the VM. if your VMs are not in ~/Library/Parallels then they will be in ~/Documents/Parallels
Great I have just got the latest version so we'll see how that goes...I thought I was upto dateish...Let see how its goes...Anyway thnks for the info it might come in handy Neil
