    Does anyone know how to fix this? Every time I launch version 4, I am required to "manually" upgrade Parallels. It goes through the process fine and I can use the virtualized OS. If I suspend and/or restart the app, I must do it all over again every time! This is killing me. Anyone have a solution?

    Thanks!

    I have the same problem, every time I start parallels (windows vista vm) or just restart vista within parallels, the upgrade vm process starts. Eventually a message is displayed stating that manual action is required, clicking OK takes you to the windows vista vm which seems to work ok.

    Me too. I ended up reverting to V3 after a fresh install failed to work as well.

    There was such problem in beta for one person when he was connecting two HDD images from PD30 simulteneously, but i thought that issue was fixed.

    Problem can be workarounded by typing in the "Virtual Machine configuration" -> Hardware -> CPU -> (enable the Show Advanced settings" -> System flags line
    vm.compat_level=2

    Could you please send problem reports using menu "Help"->Report a Problem and post here numbers?

    Thanks Elric, the workaround cured the problem even though I could not find any indication that I had more than one hdd image connected.
