After upgrade to 4560: Extremely slow, Kernel Panics
I just upgraded to 4560 (from 2.2, I *think* -- is there a log of parallels installations somewhere?) and windows runs *extremely* slowly. In the past (under pre-3.0 versions of parallels), booting to the windows desktop took somewhere around 2 minutes. Now it's taking hours, literally. I waited over two hours to get to a desktop. It takes 20 seconds to bring up the start menu.
Could this be related to parallels tools? Do I need to manually upgrade or uninstall them? Also, I do have older bootcamp drivers (1.2 beta I think) installed. Could this be the source of the problem?
I'm running XP under 4560 under a macbook pro with 2GB RAM and OS X 10.4.10. I've allocated 1000MB to Windows, and no other applications are running (according to "top" the machine is not swapping). Parallels only uses about 10% CPU all the time.
Also, two attempts to shut down the virtual machine have both resulted in an OS X Kernel Panic ("You must restart your computer.").
Any help would be most appreciated.
