Sounds similar to what I ended up doing... except I had to reformat/reinstall/reactivate/reapply SP1/reapply everyother patch... Glad I made the switch to PD4! It only took away about 4 days of my life.

Thanks alot for the hot fix... Because I did a repair install, now I have a f*cked up Bootcamp in PD4 and now my bootcamp partition is hosed too.

Can you explain a little more which TYPE of repair you mean? There are several different types of repairs that can be done with the Vista boot DVD.

I found that if I uninstall Parallels tools 4 and then uninstall PD4, then reinstall PD3, that I have all functionality back in Vista. I am downloading the update now and will let everyone know if it is fixed or not. edit:::::::: Well that didn't work, what ever Parallels did, it is...

Be careful what you say... I bought PD3 back on the 9th, got the message the next few days that PD4 was available as a free upgrade. Downloaded and installed. All went smooth. I had to reactivate my Vista and Office 2007, but that was expected and done without calling. Worked like a charm for a...

I know what chkdsk and and autochk are, what I am saying is that I have both problems (licensing service not running and causing more problems and the inability to run anything at boot time) and that they may be related since I have both issues. Maybe I just have two unrelated issues.

Are you having any other issues? Windows showing as not activated or not being able to open the control panels? I have these two issues and it says that I need to run chkdisk at startup and when I set it to do it, it never does. So the two could be related.

I doubt that it has anything to do with any kind of AV software, I never got that far with my windows (Vista) installation and I still have the same issue as everyone here.

I was having the same problem. MacBook with 10.5.5 all updated. Vista Ultimate 32bit. Installed via Boot Camp with SP1, and updated to boot camp 2.2 (or whatever is latest). Had PD 3 installed and updated to 4.0. Had the licensing service not be able to start which caused the control panel and...

The licensing issue people are having isn't this easy. The problem is that the licensing service is not running and can't run under PD (at least if Vista). It isn't a matter of getting a new activation, it is that it can't activate.
