quit expectedly - becoming a major problem

Recently, Parallels desktop (winxp) stopped launching on my MAC Leopard , so I uninstalled and cleaned out all parallels files as suggested, including running the disk utility -repair permissions.. Then I reinstalled, but I'm getting the same error message that it quit unexpectedly. PLEASE don't ask me to purchase an anti-virus program for my MAC side because that's the reason I purchased the MAC in the first place. I had an anti virus program on the windows side (ESET). Once you can give me a practical way to make parallels work again, then I have to convince Microsoft and ESET to give me new licensing keys to make their programs work. What a hassle!

 

What can you see in:
* Archive of /Library/Parallels/bugreports/
or ~/Library/Parallels/bugreports/

* /Library/Logs/panic.log
or ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Parallels.crash.log from the Mac side;

 

crash report

I uninstalled parallels so there's no crash report.

 

oops

Ok, I just found under bugreport. Which log do you want?

I zipped the archive but don't know to send it to you.

 

Click Go Advanced, there you will be able to see options to attach files

 

I just sent the zipped archive as an attachment to your email. Is that right?

 

Sorry didn't receive anything, you can try to attach logs to post

VM quitting unexpectedly - me too

John@Parallels

This is the same problem (Same stuff in the bugreports) that I am getting, although my "VM quitting" happens randomly only when I leave the VM running overnight not getting it at starup.

I posted in the Windows forum specifically the other day.

I am wondering if this happens to anyone running the VM pointing to a Boot Camp version of Windows XP?

If they are not, I may reinstall in Boot Camp and create a new VM to use Boot Camp.

I bought Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.0 at a store in January 2008. (not sure what build it is, since I have upgraded to 5608)
My earliest incident was in March 2008. The crash report shows build 5582.

I was just looking at system logs from the latest "unexpected quit" on 9/23 and found these messages:

John, I am going to send the bugreport reports@parallels.com, System Profile and system logs, like it says to in the above system log.

 

Probably it will be better to create ticket in support

 

i have sent bug reports on this and not heard a peep. should i be getting a ticket number back?

very annoying, not the best thing to wake up to - having a vm die and all.

Note: I have not had this problem since installing build 5624, so maybe the problem is gone.
Not sure where I found the link, but maybe you can supply it, John.

I have ordered Parallels Desktop for Mac 4.0.

 

today parallels update downloaded 5626... i had the pop up for 5624 but i clicked not now and then it never came back.
