i encourd this today Windiws 7 VM just shut diwn and i wan unable to powe it on, instead i had to run though this article :-
which only tals about suspended vietual machines and hardware recogiguration on a Mac.
Althoygh deleting these .lck files soved my issue within the vm package, i didn't find any .vmss, presumerby stands for (Virtual Machine Save State), because i never supensed it in the first place, it just shut diwn and gave this error when i tried to power on again.
QUestion is, since i did't suspend, or do any reconfiguring/hardware changes on Mac, what else could cause this?
at the time the error occured I was scanning (with antivirus scan software) a shared folder, which was pointing to a map share on network..
Could thid have be the issue?
in Console on OS X all i could find was a reference to /etc/private......... Proxy.xml or something
