I don't need parallels very often so I haven't tried to open it until yesterday. So I don't know what i caused it to suddenly not open anymore. I still use Mac OS Sierra and I'm on 10.12.6 I think I'm on Version 12 and not current as I didn't want to pay $49.99 for something I already have. But didn't realize it's not opening til now. Build Info: Parallels-41532.0~12.1.41532.0 I have the info from the crash report. I think some on here have trouble copying the whole thing I'll paste what it will include here: Time Awake Since Boot: 940 seconds System Integrity Protection: enabled Crashed Thread: 0 Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (Code Signature Invalid) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY Termination Reason: Namespace CODESIGNING, Code 0x1 kernel messages: VM Regions Near 0 (cr2): --> __TEXT 000000010d44f000-000000010f62c000 [ 33.9M] r-x/rwx SM=COW Thread 0 Crashed: 0 ??? 0x0000000117959000 _dyld_start + 0 Thread 0 crashed with X86 Thread State (64-bit): rax: 0x0000000000000000 rbx: 0x0000000000000000 rcx: 0x0000000000000000 rdx: 0x0000000000000000 rdi: 0x0000000000000000 rsi: 0x0000000000000000 rbp: 0x0000000000000000 rsp: 0x00007fff527b0c40 r8: 0x0000000000000000 r9: 0x0000000000000000 r10: 0x0000000000000000 r11: 0x0000000000000000 r12: 0x0000000000000000 r13: 0x0000000000000000 r14: 0x0000000000000000 r15: 0x0000000000000000 rip: 0x0000000117959000 rfl: 0x0000000000000200 cr2: 0x0000000000000000 Logical CPU: 0 Error Code: 0x00000000 Trap Number: 0 Binary Images: 0x10d44f000 - 0x10f62b997 +???

I still have the DMG file for version 12. Should I try to remove the program and reinstall? Since the folder for parallels doesn't have an uninstall button, what's the smartest way to remove it? And would my VM still be in another folder? I hardly ever use this. But when I need it I really need it for a few programs.
Hi CherylP1. Please follow the steps from this article to fix the issue. Reinstalling Parallels Desktop will not affect your virtual machine.
