RC2 bug - unable to get geometry message

[veggiedude]

I have all of my VM's in the shared user partition so that I can access XP from my account or from another account.

Parallels Desktop works fine in my account, but if I log into another acount and try to access a VM I get a weird message:

Virtual machine cannot be started:
Unable to get geometry of the virtual hard disk.

This has only started in RC2.

RC1 had no such problem.

Today I solved the problem.

It is a permissions issue.

Simply log into the account that created the VM's, and change the VM image from 'read only' permission to 'read and write' for 'everyone'.
