Build 9344 App GUI Frozen

[guyw]

Hi guys

I have Windows 7 running on an iMac i7 with build 5.0.9344, to which I upgraded last week.

With this build I have one application (a .NET financial application) which exhibits a frozen GUI every 5 mins or so. I say frozen GUI because I can tell that it is still running in the background as it is still showing network activity etc, but does not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard input. When I kill it using Task Manager it responds to the close request with an "Are you sure ?" dialog, but I still can't click it.

So far I have not found any other apps that miss behave.

I tried disabling 3D, set it to 1 CPU, loaded a Parallels tools hotfix, restored a backed up VM and tried it. Nothing helped.

Today I fixed it by back-grading Parallels to version 5.0.9220 (being the only other version that I kept).

So ... any ideas why build 9344 could have set off some GUI issue ?

Also, is there any way to get access to previous builds ? I would like to see what is between build 9220 and 9344

Thanks

Guy

Hi Guy,
strange. Between builds 9220 and 9344 there were 9308 and 9310. However, I cannot provide you with links to these builds any more. It is hard to say what was causing GUI freeze; you could submit support request at Parallels here and we will investigate.
