Trouble starting VM machine

So I have a windows XP vm that I use for older software. I havent used it in a few months, and now I am unable to restore it. I attached the error message.

I am using v.12 Pro.

There may be two possible reasons for this.

  1. The VM has been paused/suspended. If something on the host's configuration that's related to VMware Workstation has been modified, you may not be able to resume the VM, but need to reset it (i.e. pull the virtual power plug).
  2. The virtual disk 's size doesn't show up in the VM's settings, which points to an issue with the VM's .vmdk files. Please run dir *.* /one > filelist.txt in the VM's folder, and attach the filelist.txt to your next reply.
