    Any thoughts on this error? Happened with both beta versions after initially working without any problem. Interestingly, upgrading to the second beta made the VP (Windows XP SP2) created with the first beta work again. Now after rebooting my machine, I get this exact message again.

    I'm assuming it is some kind of path issue as I moved Parallels.app from its initial install location as I do with most of my applications.

    Thanks.

    Entire message is:

    "Module vm-main is not found! Parallels Workstation 2.1 is installed, but it has not been configured for your running kernel. To configure it please login as root and run parallels-config."

    The kernel extensions for PW are stored inside the application bundle so moving it is not wise...

    As root edit /Library/StartupItems/Parallels/Parallels and change the line

    basePath="/Applications/Parallels.app"

    to the location of the app.

    If that doesn't work try:

    sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/Parallels/

    then relaunch the app

    ARGH! Designers! ;)

    First option worked after a reboot! Thanks jmdevaney! Now I can keep my preferred app organization scheme :)
