    Check your RAM. I had my ram set at 512 initially and it worked. I bumped it up to 768 and boom, I got BSOD (blue screen of death). Then I went up to 1024, and it worked again. That was too much RAM use though and slowed my OSX down. So I bumped it down to 896 and all was good still. So to test it, I set it at 768 again and got BSOD. My current settings, after getting BSOD, are 512 RAM and 8 MB Video Memory. Also, I got BSOD when my video memory was set on 12 MB, but not on 8 MB or 16 MB. So be sure you play with your RAM to see if that is the problem, let me know if this fixes anybody's problems, it could be just me getting lucky I guess.

    Hello,

    What version of Mac OS do you use?
    What version of Parallels Desktop do you use?
    Please send the screenshot of BSOD and the contents of your C:/Windows/Minidump/ folder to beta-testing@parallels.com

    Thank you.
