Running build 1884 on a MacPro. Have WinXP pro set up - and it has been working with build 1884. Enabled Shared Folders yesterday - and it worked just fine. Today ... Parallels closes upon launch with error of: "quit unexpectedly" If i select reopen then parallels launches and lets me select a VM. If i select an old VM (that does not have an OS installed - i.e. i abandoned it b/f loading an OS) then parallels stays up and lets me start the VM. Again ... if i select my 'was working' VM of Win XP then Parallels closes. What gives?
work around Found a work around - but things are still buggy ... Copied my 'was working' *.hdd file and pasted it to the folder that has the 'old and never loaded with an OS' files. i.e. Using the 'was working *.hdd file with the old *.pvs file. When i launch Parallels now it crashes but stays open after i click on reopen. I'm then able to Start the VM (now with the old *.pvs file acting on the 'was working' *.hdd file). I've chosen not to enable shared folders - just incase this is the source of the problem.
