Hello everyone, I recently installed Parallels onto my mother's intel iMac (running OS X 10.4.9). Before installing Windows XP Pro, I installed parallels updates - however cannot tell you at this time what the final version is (will have to get my mum to have a look - but it will be whatever the latest version was as of 3 weeks ago!). Apart from getting her USB printer to work, Parallels was running fine, however she recently experienced the following error messages when trying to launch parallels: If you select yes, then the following message appears: I have asked her if she has changed any of the config settings - apparently she had fiddled with control panel settings within XP as she wanted to try to set up a printer, but she is adamant that she hasn't touched anything else. I also asked her if she has installed any software or deleted any files or folders recently, and she said she hasn't. I am at a loss as to what could have caused this, and I haven't been able to find any info. I don't want her to go to the trouble of installing XP again if it is not necessary. Is there a way to fix this problem? What could have caused it? Is there anything that can be done to stop it happening again? I am sorry if I have not provided enough information. I have not been able to look at what is happening first hand, so am relying on information she has provided...Let me know if you need anything else.
Make sure that it is still pointing at the .hdd file. If it is, try copying it and re-pointing it. If that fails, try making a new .hdd file and then adding the old .hdd file as a second drive and recovering the contents from that.
