I had Parallels running alright on version 3.0, and today I opened up Parallels and got a notice that there was a build update. I downloaded and installed 4128. When I booted to XP, parallels starting installing the new tools. Part way through, I was looking at a IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL BSOD, which I'm aware is usually a driver problem...
So I forced reboot my VM and CHKDSK automatically ran and found and deleted lot of problems with files that I believe were parallels drivers. After windows booted, I couldn't use my keyboard or mouse in XP. I was able to boot to safe mode where I couldn't use the keyboard or mouse either. This is a boot camp VM, so I tried booting to Boot Camp where I could use the keyboard, but not the mouse. Same story in safe mode.
It seems like parallels tools needs to be reinstalled, but without a mouse I can't get very far doing that. Thoughts?
