When you have Win XP VM set to automatically close when the Parallels VM Win install is closed, HOW IN THE WORLD (pardon me) how do you change the configuration so that you can reconfigure?

See, when you run WIN XP it says you can configure while the machine is running.

When you STOP the machine, it quickly vanishes and closes.

At NO TIME CAN YOU HUMANLY (excuse me) get to the configuration screen to change the configuration.

Maybe this is in the manual, but I have not found it.

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks.

nicolemcgrgr,

Just run the virtual machine while having the Command (Apple) button pressed. This will force the machine not to run right away. I would suggest disabling window close at stopping or the virtual machine automatically running for convenience.

...Or just start parallels from the Parallels Desktop.app in the applications folder instead of the alias to the virtual machine like you start any other application on a mac.
