    Cant's start Windows following upgrade to Parallels 6

    i am assuming you are trying to get back into a previously running version of windows XP. it would seem to me that recent versions of parallels are less than friendly about starting from anything but the most basic places. (i used to have an easier time importing a VMWare VM into parallels...

    1) this isn't just a recent update problem. i had decided to live with 11992 for a while, and i was experiencing this problem. (and fwiw, my reason for not updating is the subject of another long thread having to do with users having bad experiences with updates...

    VMWare Fusion VM to Parallels 6: destructive?

    for my Windows 7 VMware VM, i believe it simply created the new Parallels VM in it's separate package contents folder. that said: •*it would be easy enough to copy/backup your VMWare VM in case Parallels does do something to it you don't like. •*you do realize that going back and forth...

    so, with parallels 6, i have the problem where prl_disp_service is hogging all of one CPU at 99% . i tried these services as quoted, making certain to shutdown parallels first, but prl_disp_service was running at 99% still after the messages about this came up.

    ubuntu 10.10 monitor glitch after installation / initialization

    i see it didn't pick up the link to my twitpic, so i'll manage it internally. the problem appears with this fleeting dialog: i presume there's some xrandr setting i could establish or some other monitor setting value i could set that would rectify this. thoughts?

    unwittingly, i checked the "auto-update" and ended up with version 11992 . after install, i ended up with the endless cycle of "install Parallels Tools" …*and without it, i could no longer use my mac editor to edit windows files. unfortunately, backing up to revision 11828 did not work...
