Rather "me too" ...

I've just been trying an upgrade to Wheezy. Don't get a desktop (X.org fails because it can't load modules for prlvideo, prlmouse) and can't reinstall Parallels Tools. I'm using 6.0.12106.

I found another thread, the fix was an upgrade (7.something to 7.something-newer). I can't run 7 as I don't have a 64bit capable machine.
