Can't start Parallels

[chicago63]

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

Yep, there is a kb article describing this error: http://kb.parallels.com/en/4938

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