    When I try to use the File | Clone option in my Parallels 6 menu, all the Clone options are grayed out and I can't use them.

    Is there a setting I have to enable to be able to Clone a VM?

    The virtual machine window of the virtual machine you want to clone needs to be in front and the virtual machine needs to be not running.

    Solved

    I was confused about how to get the vm window available (seen). My machine starts with a Windows 7 vm there with a "start" menu. While I didnt not start, closed the window I still could not see clone option. I shut down the vm and it left a window up for restart, then I was able to see/use the vm clone.

    Sorry, solved this soon, but took a while to get the post approved, or I would have corrected/deleted.

    Thank you!
