Parallels Version 5584 Video Corruption

I am running Parallels 5584, but this problem started with 5582. I am running on an iMac version 10.5.1 with 3 GB of memory and 133 GB of free disc space. I have alocated 1 GB of memory of the VM.

If I run Parallels all day eventually I get some video corruption that shows up on my desktop background Oh, I run Parallels in coherence mode. The corruption looks like two vertical columns of small rectangular looking things. I will attach a screen capture of these things. They do not seem to affect the operation of the program but clearly you have a memory leak of some type.

Problem with Build 5608 too...

I'm also getting massive video corruption problems with parallels 5608. I've attached two images. It makes my computer unusable and I have to restart. This is on a 2.16 GHz MBP with 3GB of RAM. It seems to happen after I start and stop the VMs a lot. I was setting a a few VMs for various test environment and I started seeing some small blocky corruption, then the stuff in the screenshot started happening.

 

This exactly incorrect update problem:
Please download build 5608 following link bellow:
http://download.parallels.com/v3/en/GA/Parallels-Desktop-5608-Mac-en.dmg

and reinstall Parallels Desktop as described in kb

Corruptions with Build 5608

I am seeing similar corruptions, although only on the Mac OS X Desktop area running 10.5.4 on MBP CD (Radeon 1600 Pro). I think the problem started with the update to QuickTime 7.5.5.

Im using the German Build 5608.

I tried reinstalling as outlined by the link above, but it didn't change a thing.

Besides today the Mac OS X kernel crashed, when opening After Effects CS3 while a Linux i386 VM was running.

Please note, that you need to use localized build instead of provided link.
About Mac OS crash, please check crash log to find out, which application caused crash

 

As already noted I did use the current localized german build 5608 of parallels.

I doubt you'll get anything useful out of this crash log:

Unfortunately it doesn't give useful information,
It doesn't show process, you can try to find another crash logs in /Library/Logs/
Or just from usage of Mac , and logs from Console application, you may try to find is there other problems.
