can not run windows, it says file is lock

[zaidocram]

Hi, I just update to Mac OS X 10.5.4 (2GB RAM) and i was in windows vista with VMWare Fusion 2.0 (116369) when my macbook sudsenly shut down, I tried to re-open windows but it says "Windows Vista File lock", when I trid to unlock it says "this virtual machines appearrs to be in use"... If I click "Take Ownership" it says "Configuration file: /Users/Marco/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista.vmwarevm/Windows Vista.vmx" when I go through that it take me again to the first winow (same than when I open Fusion)

Can anyone help me to unlock it, please?

Thank you so much

Marco D.

Go into the VM's folder on your host and delete any *.lck files and folders.

Ctrl-click the Virtual Machine on the Virtual Machine Library window and select Show in Finder and then close Fusion.

Now ctrl-click the Virtual Machine Package and select Show Package Contents

Now delete any .lck files and or folders and then close the Finder widow and start Fusion.

Is it still locked?

You're looking in the wrong place - that's the Fusion bundle, not a virtual machine bundle.
