    Windows hung on shutting down, so I had parallels stop the virtual machine. I tried restarting it, but it just started to the same, gray 'shutting down' screen. After a couple of attempts to close and re-open parallels and the virtual machine, now when I try to start the VM I get an error message "uninitialized data request" and that's as far as I can get.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    I'm having this problem too.

    It seems to be the same issue. Windows hung on shutdown and when I try to restart I get the "uninitialized data requested" error.

    Possible fix?

    I rebooted and reinstalled Parallels, which seems to have fixed the problem.

    Good luck!

    Uninitialized Data Requested.

    I'm having this issue as well.

    I'm running the latest Parallels 5 build on my iMac with OS X 10.6 .

    My VM is Windows XP SP 3 32-bit & it was making it's first snapshot image & was taking forever. I Force Quitted Parallels & now whenever I try launching Parallels, all I can get is the error message dialoge attached to this post.

    I'm very concerned that when I Googled this, it seems no solutions are available. I also noticed that most posts are very recent. PLEASE FIX NOW AS I CANNOT GO WITHOUT WINDOWS!!!

    I don't know why my reply isn't showing, up.

    After rebooting my mac, I re-installed parallels. Everything is normal now. Hope this works for the others!

    Reinstalling Parallels also fixed the problem for me. Thanks for the tip!

    Just rebooting worked for me

    Before re-installing, try just rebooting. I was having this same problem, and a simple reboot cleared it right up.

    Good luck.

    Rebooting Works

    Same problem, here ... I simply rebooted the host operating system and things are working again ... I found this thread through a google search ... wished it came up in a search of the Parallels Support system. I wasted about an hour recovering unnecessarily a backup of my VM files :-((

    Rebooting Mac OS works for me too

    Thanks for the advice of the seniors here! The same thing happened to me this morning when Windoze took forever to boot up. I force quitted Parallels, and thereafter I couldn't start Parallels. This same error appeared. I googled to this thread, rebooted Mac OS and it worked for me too. Thanks!

    I will imagine if this happened on a purely Windoze platform, I might well have to re-format and re-installed the OS. Kudos to Apple & Parallels!

    I'm having this problem now. I have to leave for work now because I can't log into Parallels for my VPN. Parallels was trying to run for an hour before I killed it. When I tried it again I got this error.
