    I have upgraded to 5608 on my iMac and every time that I launch Parallels a dialogu box appears with the following message. "

    "Unable to lock out the configuration file /Users/patricktoomey/Documents/Parallels/Windows XP
    in Parallels/Windows XP in Parallels.pvs"

    Sometimes after I click Okay the application and click Start the application launches properly, but more than half of the time Parallels fails to launch and I need to 'force quit' Parallels and ten redo the sequence.

    Is this a configuration issue or is 5608 got some kind of bug? Oh, I am running Mac Os version 10.5.4, and am attempting to launch Windows Xp.

    Try to start Parallels Desktop from Applications/Parallels
    Also check that you have write permissions to pvs file
