Mac OS X 10.5.2, Parallels build 5584.0 MBPro 15" 2007 2.4GHz, 2G RAM, 160G HD BootCamp=No, BetaUpgrade=No, ParallelToolsInstalled=Yes, GuestOS=WinXP This is the first build of Parallels Desktop I've used. It crashes often (10% of time) when I press Shift+Option [I changed from Ctrl+Option] to switch from full-screen to single-window mode. The Win desktop rotates 180 degrees and appears as a window over the Mac desktop, then after a few seconds disappears entirely, followed by the standard dialog "Parallels unexpectedly crashed." Following are system.log and first part of crash reporter. SYSTEM.LOG Apr 9 16:51:33 Chief [0x0-0x5fa5fa].com.parallels.desktop[11981]: Parallels Desktop 3.0 critical error!

I have the same problem Parallels Desktop used to work but started crashing all of a sudden. I've tried launching it from a new OS X account, to no avail. Repairing disk permissions didn't help either.
