Build 3036 - BSOD
My system:
Windows XP Professional, member of domain

Steps:
1.Upgrade to 3036
2. Upgrade Parallels Tools
3. Work for a while. Loving coherence
4. Switch networking mode from Shared to Host-only on the fly --> No longer have network connection
5. Switch back to Shared --> Still no connection
6. Restart VM
7. BSOD: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
8. Boot in Safe mode, uninstall tools
9. Boot normally --> all is well.
10. Reinstall tools, restart VM --> BSOD: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
11. Unable to uninstall tools at this point.

Would love to know how to uninstall the tools completely, to see if that fixes issue.

Thanks

I have exactly the same problem now here, yet it worked flawlessly from Dec 1 until Dec 5. It started failing today, yet, I haven't touched any network mode setting recently, neither in the VM, neither the mode, neither anything network related on Mac OS X itself.
I'm a bit puzzled. I will revert to build 1970 if I don't find a workaround very quickly.

Doesn't the new version upgrade the files?

Don't you have backups when testing beta software? I do have. ;-)
But anyway, I properly fully uninstalled Tools from the VM using Safe mode, then shtudown VM, uninstalled Parallels 3036, installed Parallels 1970, boot my VM, install the 1970 Tools and all is well.

I can't uninstall in safe mode :(

Says something about the previous install never being finished.

According to Microsoft's diagnosis of the BSOD error, the problem lies in a driver. I've noticed that if I "Start with Last Known Good Configuration" some updates are rolled back and it works fine. I can reproduce this error by doing the following:

1. Create new VM in Build 3306.
2. Install Windows XP using custom method, not the automated (express) method.
3. Install Service Pack 2.
4. Install all updates.
5. BSOD.

I should note that after rebooting from step 4 is when I get the BSOD.

This is exactly what happened to me., Everything was working fine until 2 days ago, then Parallels rebooted "for no reason" in the background and now all I get is a BSOD. I'm unable to uninstall the tools, keeps telling me I need to restart the VM. Tried various safe modes, no luck. Uninstalled beta and tried reinstalling 1970, no luck with installing "new" old tools.

1)
If when booting in Safe Mode, you can't uninstall the Tools because it tells you their installation must first be completed, then shutdown and reboot on Last Known Good configuration. Do run the Tools uninstaller. Then do a normal boot to check that the tools are gone away and that you don't have the blue screen anymore.
2)
Shutdown your XP, close Parallels application.
Open the 3036 dmg and run the installer you find there.
Shtudown / restart the Mac OS X.
3)
Install Parallels 1970.
Start you VM, and install the tools (those will be the 1970 tools).

This recovered it for me, despite what my signature reads below this post, I'm now on 1970, I'll come back to 3??? when I'll see there is hints this problem might be fixed.

Thanks, Oliver, no luck. It would be good to know how to manually get rid of the tools.

Salut

I've got the same problems on a ImacCoreDuo20" trying to boot Parallels's BootCamp partition :

-The partition has been recognize but the process stoped in the WindowXP black screen just before the "welcome" and a blue screen appears with a long text saying there's a problem and just hang-on………………

So I reboot in 'safe mode'.

To get ride of the Tools :

The uninstaller didn't manage to do it in 'safe mode' so i've search for all stuff named 'parallels' and throw it in the "corbeille".
Then execute 'regedit' and search for all 'parallels' stuff and delete it again and again (many keys).

Reboot in normal mode and it's done.


What is a BSOD ?

n'tcha
