    When trying to open Parallels 10, I receive error message that says
    "An error occurred when working with this virtual machine physical memory." After reporting problem I was directed to a help page that said I should run rebuild of Parallels 10, which I did. It made no difference and I keep getting the same error message.

    Unfortunately, it worked the first time, but then reverted to the same behavior with the same error message when I tried re-opening Parallels a second time.

    We have checked the screenshots you have shared in the email and found that the pvm file is moved or deleted from its location. We suggest you to search the Finder for the pvm file and open it.
