BSOD after upgrade to 5.0

Had Same problem error as AlastairA, and your fix does not work with Win7 VM on bootcamp. VM was already set to 1 cpu.

 

Cannot access Parallels menu to make changes

I am having problems following the suggestions because every time I start Parallels, it automatically launches de XP VM which then freezes with the BSOD. Unfortunately I never get access to the menus in Parallels so I can change the number of CPUs.

Is there anyway I can prevent Parallels from automatically launching the XP VM so I can make the suggested changes?

Thank you,

D.

This is what I'm seeing in the console. The kernel messages just keep going on forever.

I tried moving the pvm file out of the way and opening it as a separate VM. Now when windows attempts to start it says that the PVM contains no bootable operating system!@#!@

 

I moved a few things around and now when I attempt to open my old Windows VM a dialog pops up that says that the filesystem is corrupt. Please help.

 

Solve my problem

Solve my blue screen problem as well. I think parallels team should put this fix into next patch.

Thanks

What Windows are you using?

 

Reducing number of CPUs to 1 did allow me to use my Parallels 4 VM finally, and Parallels Tools is now installed, but I cannot change the number of CPUs from the 1, the option is greyed out. And how many is the optimal number to use (my Mac has 8).
