    Hello

    my Parallels Desktop Build 5608 will start but it requierd more than 2 minutes to launch. Then it work´s normaly. The earlier version Build 5580 starts in 5 seconds.

    1. Set memory for Virtual Machine to less than 1 GB
    2. Perform Mac and Windows side disk defragmentation http://www.xvsxp.com/system/system_tools_defrag.php
    3. Set Adjust memory limit from Auto to Manual at Parallels Desktop -Preferences-Memory, and set limit a bit more higher than VM memory
    4. Disable Themes in Windows XP serives.msc stop Themes service
    5. If you are running in Coherence, try to switch to Single Window, or lower Mac resolution
    6. Some antivirus software can load CPU when Heuristic Prediction is set, or Tamper protection (Symantec, MacAffey), adjust settings to risk you are supposed, high security settings is not always good idea, as it can also affect software running
    7. Run msconfig , and disable unneeded startup items
    See http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_xp.html
    8. Also please check that there is enough space on Mac OS

    the soloution of the problem was an parallel working VNC connection.

    When the VNC Connection was disabled then paralles would start within 5 seconds.

    Thanks for your help.

    With kind regards
