VM won't shutdown only suspends (help please)

[qlite]

The thread was moved from "Installation and Configuration in Mac OS" by Xenos

Running v3.0 build 5582.0
When I try and shutdown my win xp pro VM, it looks like it does it but the config editor at the end states that the VM is suspended. When I start again the VM I'm stuck in an old saved (locked-up) VM state. If I select reset then everything looks good and will shutdown when told to but again really only suspends and I'm left in the same cycle of events. Is there a way to delete some preference that would allow my VM to be actually shutdown/stopped?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Followup: I've deleted the file where the VM file is stored. This file has a .sav extension. Mine was called "winxp.sav" This seems to have solved my problem. BTW, the modified date of the .sav file prior to deletion was quite out of date. I hope that this solution may help others.
