What to do when a VM goes gray?

I have an elderly version of Fusion on my son's computer, principally because he never uses Windows. I very occasionally do on his computer when I cant use mine

 

It is 4.1.4 and I just got a message and upgraded to the newest version of Mavericks. When I went into the VM, it gave me the "just upgraded XP automatically and Restarted" message and the network adapter wouldnt work in either of the three settings (it was set by default to NAT).  Then the VM started giving the error message Cant Go Into Unity Mode (I didnt think  I was going into unity mode at the time!)

 

Then on reboot, it told me of the release of 6 and still wouldn't connect to the internet (without a connection, how did it know!)


So when I tried to go into network settings, the whole VM crashed, which is unusual, the whole VM is grayed out and none of the VMWare menu items such as SEND Cntrl-Alt-Del will work, all are grayed out.  Except Key and all the keys are themselves grayed out.  Holding down the Option key changes the menu but almost everything is still grayed out.

 

Can  I close down this VM and is it likely ever to work again on this Macbook please?
