    Now it happend the second time after reinstalling OSX Tiger on my Macbook Pro:

    The installation of Parallels causes Spotlight not to work anymore.

    This is a major bug of Parallels.

    After using the "uninstall" app of the Parallels .dmg file Spotlight works again.

    I rather keep Spotlight working than having Parallels RC 1 installed.

    BTW, the "uninstall" app does not erase some Parallels folders in the librarys or the 3 .plst files.

    This topic has been covered and IIRC, the way to fix it is to not have spotlight search the folders your VM is located in.
