I have recently started having a problem with Parallels. I can boot up my WinXP with Boot Camp and it works just fine. However, if I try to boot it in Parallels, I get the BSOD almost immediately. I get it just after the DOS-y screen that auto-selects the boot profile (which only comes up when I'm booting with Parallels).
My suspicion is that something is corrupted among the specific files that Parallels uses on startup. However, I don't know what those files are. I can't uninstall the Parallels Tools because I can't boot into Windows with Parallels (and the Tools won't let me uninstall through Boot Camp).
Is there a file or set of files I can remove manually (while I'm in Boot Camp) so that when I start up with Parallels it'll think I'm dealing with a non-Tools-installed VM? (It feels like all I need to do is avoid getting that boot script with the profile selections.) Then I can reinstall the Tools and, in theory, squash the BSOD problem.
