    parallels 7 running winXP guest.

    all running fine before, but now if i try to start windows it black screens 'windows did not start successfully....'

    any of the startup options produces the parallels error message
    'virtual machine processor was reset by the operating system'
    and loops back to the windows error page.

    any ideas?

    i've tried reinstalling windows but the VM won't boot from the install disk (didn't have this issue during the original install) - any ideas with this also appreciated.

    Hi JoeB3, please follow the steps mentioned below to fix the issue:
    1.Shut down the virtual machine and open its configuration.
    2.Switch to Hardware tab and choose Boot Order menu.
    3.Expand Advanced Settings menu and insert the following flag in the Boot flags textbox:
    kernel.report_hibernate=0
    4.Close configuration window and check the behavior.
