Using the 3106 Beta. Fresh install of the Beta Using new 266 15" MacBook Pro 2GB RAM 100GB HD Space Free Adjusted Reserved Memory: 1628MB VM Confiruation Memory: 1500MB I get the crash dumps much like everyone else is experiencing, however, interesting thing is happening. When this crash happens, it "disabled" the Mouse and Video tools within the Windows environment and I lose that functionality. The only way to get it back is to uninstall the tools in Windows and reinstall them then they work. Any Thoughts? Thanks
Try assigning 750 MB to your VM and 850 to Parallels in preferences. It may fix your problem and you will almost certainly get better performance.
defniitely too much memory slows down parallels leave memory allocation on automatic for the Mac OS Activity Monitor in OS 10.4.8 running at 18% cpu 118 mb real memory 2 gb virtual memory Win Xp task manger 279 mb memory 6% cpu openig 3 apps in winxp 329 mb 9% cpu back in activity monitor parallels takes more cpu but uses the same real and virtiual memory I think the Parallels team should be congratulated on their memory mangement skills now Parallels extra activity is being taken by Windows Live Today and advertising screen redraws so you really don't need to allocate so much memory to Parallels Hugh W
