    I have a VM of Windows 7 that has been in "Stopping" state for days. I quit paralles and restarted it, but when I click ont eh VM, it just returns to its stopping state.

    I want to reset the VM and relaunch it. Is there anything I can be trying in the client? The Virtual Machine options are all disabled Except Stop, which is checked, and if I try selecting it again it says the VM can't be stopped becuase it is in the stopping state.

    Open your Activity Monitor and look for prl_vm_app. It's probably still running. Force quit it and you should be good.

    Had to restart

    Hi Jeremy,

    Many thanks for the advice. Just want to note that Force Quiting the pro_vm_app was not enough and I had to restart the Mac to get Windows 7 back to life
