sorry to be so slow replying but my thread subscriptions are not working too well
It started to happen again on the clone I used to replace my hung VM
this time I cancelled the grey dialogue box (and the shut down) and let the machine run on
I unstalled, and after rebooting, reinstalled Parallels Tools which fixed this on WinXP sp2,
which again had thrown a grey box error report about the shared clipboard hanging on shut down.
I suspect a windows cache or registry problem
I often drag and drop more than 300 images from the Mac OS 10.4.11 file system into Flickr uploader 3.0.5
- which also hung once after reinstalling Parallels Tools
I send images daily to http://www.flickr.com/photos/hughw36/
daily
so I un- and reinstalled the uploader utility too (which had begun to fail) and all is well
Now how can I recover the old VM ?
eg mount it as a second hard disk
today is Saturday - which is clone day - so I will run
http://onecare.live.com/
(in fact http://onecare.live.com/site/en-gb/toolbar/default.htm?s_cid=ToolbarScan
and make two new clones (one to each La Cie 800 external disk) - and then delete the old pair
I must admit I do not take snapshots - should I ?
