Firmware Update Totals Parallels?

I just did a Firmware Update to 1.5 on my MacBook Pro. Immediately afterwards, my Parallels package refuses to start. I can open the program and navigate the upper Mac menu bar, but once pressing START, it's all over.

Anyone else having this problem?

 

UPDATE - Restored to a Snapshot - Parallels hung for 20 minutes while restarting to the Snapshot - all appears fine now.

UPDATE - Crashed again.

UPDATE 2 - The hang appears to involve the CD-ROM connection. When I disable the CD-ROM, I get warnings about Parallels Tools, but everything works normally. Activate CD-ROM, and everything hangs.

 

which versions PD and OSes?

I am 5584 and there is a later one too
but I avoided bootcamp and stick with 10.4.11
so can not be of further help
