Title says it all. My Windows v7 virtual machine appears to be gone, Parallels won't start. I'm stuck, please help.

Hi @BradleyP2
By default OS X Spotlight indexes all the files on your Mac including virtual machine bundles. Simply hit Spotlight icon (a magnifying glass on the right side of OS X menu bar) and type pvm to find your Windows virtual machine.

Bravo, there it is! Now I apparently need to free up space on my disk, although I've actually put it on a diet since this Parallels matter cropped up.

Thank you!

UPDATE: Found the pvm and things fired up, but then it gave me the disk space message. After much trimming, nothing seemed to work, and it wouldn't let me just shut down the Windows 7 session or Parallels, so I ended up restarting my laptop. The restart cleared things up, and Win 7 seems to be okay.

Thank you again,
Bradley
