Hello! i have been trying to get parallels desktop to boot without success. What happens is that prl_client_app takes around 60% of CPU but the application is listed as not responding and the desktop does not start. Parallels has been working correctly up to this morning. I am running parallels 5.0.9376.599993 on mac os 10.6.8. I tried stopping and restarting parallels daemon: sudo launchctl stop com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon sudo launchctl start com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon I also tried rebooting my computer. In all the attempts to start parallels desktop the log file stops being updated at: /gui:239:207/ creating window 0x1ce215b0 Any suggestion will be appreciated. I apologise if this question has already been answered, i did search the forum without finding it. Many thanks, mamo
