Cannot start Parallels VM Error

When I try to open Parallels, I get the following error:

Unable to open VM configuration file /Users/MACOS/Documents/Parallels/Microsoft Windows XP/Microsoft Windows XP.pvs

Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
 
Same Here

FWIW, I have a user here at work who is experiencing the exact same problem. It's like Parallels does not see her VM at all. The weird thing is that sometimes Parallels recognizes it - i think maybe the first time she logs in.

In I find out anything I'll let you know. But I plan to wipe and reinstall everything (Parallels and Windows XP).

Using Parallels 3188 with WinXP SP2.

Hi,

What I did was uninstall Parallels and reinstall it. It seems to work fine now. However, I would had liked not to do it all over again. It was a beta, so I am using on a stable version.
