Windows Hotfix, Restart, Blue Screens
I've been running Parallels on a BootCamp setup successfully for about a week now. After booting the VM today and getting a Windows hotfix, I updated, restarted, and the system became unbootable. Upon trying to boot the system in BootCamp I got a message about a corrupted SYSTEM\CONFIG, so I did a recovery on the system.

However, now I suspect the parallels tools are corrupt or something is in a bad/uncompatible state, as I can boot via BootCamp selection fine, but if I attempt to boot via Parallels, it bluescreens immediately (safe mode shows after mup.sys is loaded).

I don't appear to be able to uninstall the Parallels tools in BootCamp any longer (says it must be done from inside a Parallels VM) -- this leaves me in a pretty awkward situation. Any suggestions on a fix?
