Running Mac 10.5.7 on a Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz w/ 4GB Ram

Parallels build:#5638

Just got a new computer and installed Parallels 3.0 build 5638. The program opens but if I try to start a virtual machine (from saved backups copied to the local drive) or install brand new machines (have tried iso and cd-rom) the same problem occurs. The program freezes and I have to log-out or reboot. Cannot force quit.

Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling parallels but that didn't help.

Wonder if anybody else has seen this and/or has a fix.

Thanks!
 
Getting it to work correctly.

Uninstall your version of Parallels after downloading 5638.

Reboot machine.

I ran Disk Utility > Disk permissions

I rebooted (to be on the safe side)

I installed Parallels 5638

I rebooted OS X.5.7 (again) - There was a boot cache message when rebooting this time

I ran Parallels 5638 - it RAN.

Everything else was set up as if it were the first time Parallels ever ran. I had to re-activate Windows.

Now, everything seems to be back to normal.

Oh yes, the only other thing I did differently with this attempt was not have any USB drives hooked up...

I think that's the key. I had an external HD connected when I installed Parallels the first time. This time I didn't and like you said, it worked like a charm.

Thanks!
