VMX mode already activated?

    I have installed Build 1832 of the RC. When I attempt to launch the VM I now get a warning message that states:

    "The virtual machine being started is going to switch VMX mode on. Parallels Desktop has detected that VMX mode is already activated by another running application. If that application will stop VMX, the virtual machine may behave unpredictably.
    Click Ok to start the virtual machine with VMX support, or click Cancel and edit VT-x settings."

    I have not seen that error message in prior releases.

    How do I determine what applications on my Mac are activating VMX mode?

    Just ignore it. It will vanish after reboot. It was probably stuck ofter Beta6 -> RC upgrade.

    Yes the warning disappeared after a reboot of the Mac OS. Thanks!
