Paused Node will not unPause

I paused a node to not corrupt the data as I took it's data store off line. When I try and resume the node I get this error:

Virtual machine is configured to use a device that prevents the operation: Device 'Hard disk 2' is disk which is not in peristent mode. Device 'Hard disk 2' is disk which is not in persistent mode.

I can see that in my settings that HD2 is the small independent disk I dedicated to the Windows swap file, I can see compared to my other VMs that I didn't choose "persistent" in the mode, this one is set to nonpersistent.

All the settings are obviously grayed out because the machine is only paused.

Thanks

Nevermind, I modified the VMX file and manually changed it to persistent and it un paused fine.
