All of a sudden, this morning, XP VM fails boot (crash)... I'm still trying to collect the exact conditions of this. I was using build 3036 without significant issues since Dec 1. I shutdown the VM (XP SP2) and the Mac exactly like everyday yesterday. And upon booting in its VM, today XP crashes (blue screen - which I don't have time to read before it clears). It crashes right after the color Windows with a progress bar, right when the screen flicker to draw the background color and display the login dialog box. It might be video driver related. I could boot in safe mode and fully uninstall the Parallels Tools. I can then boot normally, without issues. I re-installed the Tools. And got the same crash on next restart. Removed the Tools through safe mode and now it works okay (without Tools). My problem is that I don't see what could have changed yesterday either at my Mac OS X level or at the Windows XP level in the VM. For 4 days and a half, I ran 3036 using its Tools (which I installed as soon as 3036 was installed) without problems. I now it looks like the Tools trigger a fatal exception on Windows as soon as they are installed. Some detail must have changed, but I'm puzzled looking for it. Parallels, what info could I gather to better report this to you (I mean more usefully)? __________________ Best Regards, Olivier (running // Desktop on MacBookPro1,1 since April '06) |
