Not sure what's happened here, but I found my Macbook which had been running VB had rebooted itself, and then when I restarted VB the Control Panel tells me that the guest XP is already running. However there's no Virtual Machine window.
Machine / Show has no effect, but other things do, like taking a snapshot, or the preview, so it looks like the machine is actually running, I just can't see it.
How can I force it to show up, or failing that, force it to stop running so that I can try rebooting it? Quitting VB, or rebooting the Macbook hasn't worked so far.

Excellent thanks. acpipowerbutton didn't do it, but reset did.
