Hi, After upgrading from Parallels 2.x to 3 (with all updates since) on my macbook pro, I haven't been able to boot in to Windows XP Pro with Boot Camp. I always got the HAL.dll error, which I can now occasionally fix temporarily, but now Windows hangs every time it gets to the "Windows Loading" screen....any ideas? The HAL.dll problem won't go away, and then when I manage to get around it, Windows hangs. and most of the time when it boots, it will show the different partitions, but I can't select the one I want because none of the keyboard input works. Very frustrating, especially considering how well things were going before!
This just rots. What's happening is that there are files in the windows/system32 directory that are getting written every time PD goes into a session. Sometimes they get written, and sometimes they don't fully make it. The simple fix is to have a working backup of the 6 or 7 files that are getting updated and clobbered. (Look in the dir and go by date.) Then ya just have replace them and u are good to go...again. So u must have a backup or u are out of luck.
