How do I shut down Windows XP stuck in 'shutting down' in fusion virtual machine on MAC?

My virtual fusion machine state is frozen in 'shutting down' Windows xp. If I turn off computer or shut down guest or turn off machine in Fusion all bring up a dialogue asking if I want to suspend and save virtual machine or cancel the shutdown. I cannot get past saving the virtual state. I am hung up in Windows.

Of cause this is last resort. you are not doing well to windows. On the other hand a power surge doesn't do either.

I suggest you install service pack 3 for windows xp and also try these suggestions:
