New beta fails to start a virtual machine

I upgraded to the latest beta and it's impossible to start a virtual machine. I tried uninstalling Parallels, rebooting, reinstalling. Did that several times, but the same problem still persists. I also have 10GB of space free on my HD.

This is the problem:

"Unable to allocate virtual machine memory!

This error may occur mostly if there is no enough free disk space available on the physical disk to allocate virtual machine paging file. Try to clean up the physical disk (remove unnecessary files). If it doesn't help, try to re-install Parallels Desktop."

Anyone has an idea how to resolve this?

Just wanted to add, on my Mac Book Pro 2,16 17 Inch the same issue exists. Configuration here similar to the posts here.

PS at first the new version was running perfectly. After a restart (and reconnection to my home equipment with a 30 inch monitor) the issue occurred the first time. Restart did not help here either. So looking forward to the fix by Parllels

Hi guys,

Sorry for this delay, it took us a while to create and test the custom build.

You can download the custom build that should deal with this specific problem from here.

We're anxious to see your feedback on this very build.

PS: Be advised, if the build does NOT fix the problem, you can downgrade to GA version that is available here.

Downloaded - installed - works just perfect.

Gentoo, winXP running at same time on 2GB 2.16 MacbookPro. Oh -and I forgot to say, my earlier blackberry syncing thing has all gone away also. Great stuff.

Thanks Team //'s !

the custom build fixes the problem on my configuration (2GB MBP, 10.4.7). Thank you very much!

Thanks for the fix . I have had Parallels 1862 working just fine (with 1GB memory), but after a reboot started getting the "Unable to allocate virtual machine memory!" error. From reading this thread it might be because I started lots of other applications before Parallels, I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, I installed 1862.2, with all the other apps still running, and it worked first time.
