    Hello,

    everytime I stop a Virtual Machine in Parallels, the whole program shuts down, thus making it impossible to delete or configure any VM. "File, Delete" is grey and therefore not available when Windows is running, but when I shut it down, Parallels just doesn't stay there without any VM running but shuts down very abruptly.

    Any ideas how I could fix this? Right now I have Vista and XP installed, but I can't really use Vista for anything....

    Best regards and thx in advance!

    You can run more than one Parallels session. Start a new one (File->Open...) before you quit the current session. It may not even be needed to stop the current session unless it's the one you wish to work on. Do you by chance have autorun enabled? If so, press the Apple key when your start it and OS X will start Parallels but not the VM.
