I have recently updated my Parallels Desktop on my iMac to version 10 (which I am regretting), I have a severe issue with running my XP virtual machine, however than will be another blog entry at some point.
I wanted to start my VM in safe mode, but could not find any options in the configuration. The solution in the end is not elegant, but works. Here are the steps
1) Boot up your VM as normal.
2) While it is booting up try to close the VM screen using the red close button in the top left hand side of the screen. The following dialog should be displayed.
3) Select 'Shut Down', this will force the VM to shut down.
4) Boot up your VM again, because it did not shut down property you should get this screen.
5) Select 'Safe Mode' from the menu using the cursor keys (up and down keys).
