Parallels 4.0 hangs at startup

Mine is the exact same issue.

Mine is the exact same issue.... prl_client_app hangs for the Main user but not the Test user. Any ideas?

 

Steps:
1. Open Terminal from /Applications/Utilities
2. type commands
cd Documents
rm -rf .parallels-vm-directory
3. Start Parallels

 

In terminal I open and it takes me to my username with a $ sign. I enter cd /usr/local/lib and it says no such directory found. How should I be doing this in terminal OSX 10.5.8

 

Parallels 4 not opening Mas OSX 10.5.8 Exit code 9 - still no solution!

Have installed Windows 98SE and Windows XP Pro. Using Windows XP Pro when error occured.

As posted earlier, on iMac 24 enter in terminal cd /usr/local/lib and get "No such directory
found". Parallels was working when installed. One day a few MONTHS AGO! i clicked on parallels
icon and nothing happened.
It was suggested to delete a couple files which I did but no change. This thread also mentions
removing .parallels-vm-directory which I did and then checked to be sure it was gone. Click on
parallels icon and nothing happens. It does recreate .parallels-vm-directory.
Does anyone have a fix yet???????????????
I have not been able to use Parallels on the iMac for months now.
