No crash but I probably only logged another 6 hours since my previous post... I actually don't use Parallels that much.
It would be nice if other people could try this "fix" and see if Parallels 3120 remains stable for them. As a reminder, this is how I have it set up:
Macbook with 2GB of RAM
Edit: Virtual machine (XP):
Mem = 384MB (yes, it's low but try it), Video = 16MB
Options:Advanced: Accel Level=High, Enable Intel VT-x support checked, Cache policy for Virtual Machine
Under Parallels Preferences:
Memory: Adjust Reserved Memory Manually 1024 MB
Appearance: Show Applications in Dock (checked)
Appearance: Show Live Screen Shot in Dock (checked)
Animations: All disabled and unchecked
Since I changed the XP Memory to 384MB AND changed the reserved memory handling at the same time, I'm not sure if both are important. I'm guessing it's more related to the reserved memory.
By the way, I need to give credit to the Parallels team for making the Suspend feature really fast! I hadn't used it in a long time since my VM boots/restarts pretty quickly but Suspend is even faster now.

Edit: Build 3120 with the above settings is very stable for me if I set XP's memory to 384-512MB. But the Reserved Memory needs to be set to manual (I only use 1024MB so I don't know about other settings - I have 2GB RAM). Builds 3150 and 3170 crash repeatedly no matter what I try.
