    Parallels is prompting me to update Parallels Tools from the 3120 Build.

    I say yes, and shortly after the installer starts, the installer crashes windows with a blue screen.

    I can't uninstall the Parallels Tools when booted into Windows. Attempting to uninstall the Parallels Tools when booted from inside Parallels also leads to a crash.

    What should I do?

    I think I fixed the problem.

    I had to manually download and install WindowsXP-KB890859-x86-ENU.exe from within parallels, then use the control panel add/remove to remove Parallel Tools, and then installed Parallel Tools normally upon next reboot.

    I have yet to see if rebooting into XP will work correctly.
