    I have had constant problems with the system freezing up at differing points with the VM and Mac. There isn't a particular point when it happens but it does everytime I use them. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Parallels on my MacBook Pro but it does nothing about this problem. I have even tried the last two builds for sure it is still freezing. I am running Windows XP Home Service Pack 2, 1 GB of memory, the latest Mac OS just for some additional information. If anyone has any help, I would gladly appreciate it.

    hi,
    latest 5160 build seems to be mostly stable. Whether did you try it?

    how much total memory?

    you need about 20% free space both on Macintosh HD and VM disk C

    my VM has 924 mb out of 2gb on MacBook Pro 10.4.10

    Mac Firefox 2 has beem misbehaving so I reverted to 1.5

    sometimes autoupdates or hidden dialog boxes glue things up
    not Parallels
