    Hi.

    I've installed latest (5584) parallels to run BootCamp XP Pro on my MBP 3.1 (Intel C2D 2.2GHz / 2048 RAM), and i have errors on different calculations, which don't happen on normal BootCamp operation.

    The most reproducible error - calculations of Pi number by Super Pi (ver. 1.5). The first calculation of 1M of signs may be successful, but the others (when i choose another options, such as 512, 2 or 4 millions of signs) often results in applications crash and error reports.

    I've tested this tool on "clean" BootCamp boot, there are no errors at all.

    Also i've had "occasional" (random) errors on MS Office 2007 installation, and with some other usual applications.

    The XP Pro is installed clean just yesterday, all BootCamp drivers are up to date (2.1 update installed), all updates from MS Update site are also installed.
