Parallels Desktop High Resolution Limitation
The issue appears to be limitation with Parallels Desktop's support for higher resolution display. SBBOD and crash is inevitable when I am using my 30" Cinema Display at the default resolution of 2560 X 1600. While the same issue do occur when I am using my 17" MBP at its default resolution of 1920 X 1200, it occurs at a rate of once-a-day as opposed to every hour on the Cinema Display. I had a copy of my XP virtual machine moved to a 15" MBP connected to 23" Cinema Display and it only "crashed" twice during the week.
I've now moved to Fusion as it appears to be stable for my display set-up. Please let me know if this limitation will be addressed on Parallels Desktop 4.
