    I was in the settings of a Windows 8 Virtual Machine when I saw quite a bit of virtual drive space to reclaim. I clicked the button and selected to do so on next reboot.

    Later I put the VM into Suspend as I was trouble shooting something unrelated.

    When I clicked to resume, A dialog appears at the center top that said "THe Disk used by the "Windows 8...." virtual machine can be compresses only when it is stopped or running. Please resume or shut it down and then try again.

    I click OK, then click resume again, and the same dialog appears. I tried it several times, even closing the App and then trying to resume.

    I finally stopped the machine. and now when I start it It says "Reclaiming disk space...." but the same error message appears! After click in OK nothing happens.

    Is there a way out of this loop?
