Following a Pause or a Stoppage of a virtual machine it's possible that the following message pops up:
Failed to lock main memory file [...]
If that is the case you can get ride of this error by deleting the folder <vm_name>.lck that is located where the virtual machine is stored. Then the virtual machine should start successfully.

Thanks for this. Note that the folder to delete is within the VM package. So locate the VM file in the correct Virtual Machines folder in Finder and then right click on it and select the Show Package Contents option. This will open a new window that should include a number of files and folders including the appropriate .lck folder you need to delete.
