    Hi folks,

    having a serious problem loading my Parallels Desktop. Two weeks ago, everything worked fine, but yesterday, i tried to turn on the Parallels, and it started to load forever (see the image below) and then turn off. I followed all of the steps from this guide (http://kb.parallels.com/en/113990), but nothing helped (upgrading, reinstalling, fixing permissions,..).

    Has this happened to someone else, or does anybody has a solution? I'm desperate.

    Using Parallels Desktop Version 12.1.1 (41491) on Mac Pro 13'' Mid 2014, macOS Sierra Version 10.12.2

    Please follow the steps and keep us updated on your progress:
    1. Launch Terminal application (Applications > Utilities > Terminal).
    Execute the following commands separately (one by one):
    sudo su
    NOTE: You will be prompted to enter your Mac password after executing the first command. Due to security measures, you won't be able to see the password itself, just type it in and hit return/Enter.
    rm -rfd /System/Library/Extensions/prl*
    rm -rfd ~/Library/Preferences/com.parallels*
    rm -rfd ~/Library/Preferences/parallels
    rm -rfd ~/Library/Parallels
    rm -rfd ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.parallels.desktop.console.savedState
    rm -rfd /Library/logs/parallels.log
    rm -rfd /Library/Preferences/Parallels/
    rm -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels/
    rm -rfd /private/var/.parallels_swap
    rm -rfd /private/var/db/receipts/'com.parallels*'
    rm -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels/Stats
    rm -rfd /private/var/root/library/preferences/com.parallels.desktop.plist
    rm -rfd ~/Applications\ \(Parallels\)/
    rm -rfd /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/
    2. Restart the Mac
    3. Install Parallels Desktop again.
