    I have Parallels in a suspended state and when I click the Play button, I get an error message. I attached a screen shot.

    I don't know what other application would be using it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Fixed it...never mind :)

    I Googled the error message (duh...should've done that initially) and found the resolution on the forums here. I had the DiskDescriptor.xml.lck file in the "Show Package Contents" of the winxp.hdd file. I dragged it to the trash as per the instructions, restarted Parallels and all is well :)

    Thanks, General, for the reply and the direct link to the kb file. No idea how the error happened, but the fix was easy.
