    my Parallels Desktop 6 will crash whenever i launch it for the first time ( from shutting down / restarting my Mac ). this happens after i installed OS X Lion. anyone having this issue?

    say if i turn on my Mac ( not from "Sleep", but from either "Restart" or "Shut Down" ), and launch Parallels Desktop 6, the whole Mac will freeze and force to quit. help ...!?!?

    MacBook Pro 15" 2010 ( OS X Lion )
    running : Parallels Desktop 6, Windows 7 Home Edition, 32-bit

    thanks

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem, after searching the forums there doesn't seem to be an answer for this specifically.

    After turning the iMac on and opening PD6 it just crashes the entire system forcing a restart.

    iMac 21.5" 2.5GHz i5
    4GB Ram
    W7 64bit
    Latest PD6 - 6.0.12094

    Many thanks

    I have exactly same issue on one of my iMac (latest iMac 21.5" running Windows 7 32-bit) but not on the other iMac (27" running Windows 7 64-bit), very strange.

    On affected machine, kernel panic happen from time to time when booting VM, but not every time. I even wipe my mac and clean install Mac OS Lion. The crash happen less frequent but it still crash sometimes.

    On my other iMac, it never happen.

    Please fix this on the next release.

    Thanks

    Affected iMac (Kernel Panic when starting VM)
    iMac 21.5" 2.5GHz i5

    PD6 b12094


    Another iMac that does not have this issue.

    Today I upgrade Lion to 10.7.1 hoping that it might somehow fix the crash.

    But too bad, PD6 still manages to crash my iMac after OS update. :(
