Beta 4 bug.

Hello all. When the screen saver kicks in, It restarts the Mac. I have a dual monitor setup with Parallels running in full screen mode on the second monitor. Just though that I would let the team know.

The screen saver kicks in: which one? The guest screen saver or the host screen saver? (Just trying to keep myself away from this bug).

I think it was the 3d pipes screen saver. I don't know if it is any other ones. I am going to try to replicate it again to see if it is just that one, or all.

I have found the guest WinXP frozen with the windows screen saver showing (but no longer moving) a couple times (including with Beta 4). This is on my MBP with built in LCD only, but could be a related problem. I have set the screen saver to None in WinXP so hopefully that will fix it.

Thanks! We'll check this out.

Ok, in non full screen mode, it will just display the pipes and will not allow you to exit out.
In full screen mode, it crashes the mac.

Avoid this by using the default screen saver.

I wonder if it's any screen saver that uses 3D that will cause it?
