Hello,
I have a Parallels 5 install (most recent build) that will not launch its Windows XP VM. The machine was suspended for some time, and when resumed did not properly come up. After a forced restart of the VM, I cannot proceed in Safe Mode, Safe mode with prompt, or Last Known Config, let alone in regular mode. The screen just shows show black, with a white mouse cursor in the center.
Here is what I have tried so far:
- Reinstall of Parallels the easy way
- Full removal via command line of Parallels and reinstall of the application
- Create a new VM and copy the .hdd from the old system into the new VM and select it as the boot disk.
- Attempted to reinstall parallels tools from the black screen (unsuccessful despite waiting 30 minutes)
I would love some guidance as to what else to try in this situation. For now I am building another VM that I can try to port the data to from the old VM. Help would be nice.
