I launched my Windows XP VM earlier and it whent through the normal opening sequence, but then changed to a black screen. I tried to stop the VM, but now it seems to be stuck in this mode. Only Stop and Config are live in the Virtual Machine menu. I restored yesterday's VM via Time Machine, but it makes no difference. Any ideas?
Hi boyplunder, have you restarted Mac in the meantime? Any changes? Please try to reinstall Parallels Desktop 5 per KB http://kb.parallels.com/en/6904
My second VM I have Office 2007 on put up a message warning me that there wasn't enough memory to start it, so I restarted my Mac and all was solved.
