Hmm, thanks for your attempt, but now I get line 47 syntax error. I don't think it's the problem you described in your reply with the attempt at the fix because I do NOT see the error "Cannot open the disk '<path to virtual machine>/<virtual disk.vmdk>' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: The specified virtual disk needs repair." Maybe you need to work your magic on line 47? ha, I'm totally illiterate on this stuff, but if you can fix it that would be so awesome. Thanks for your time,
