Parallels tools randomly closes in XP

Hello.

Running build 5608, and all's fine save for Parallels Tools randomly closing in XP. I notice it because I'm suddenly not able to cut-n-paste between OSes. I can't figure out what I'm doing that causes it to do that. I try to close PT in the Task Manager, but it won't close. The only way to fix it is to restart XP -- which takes too much time.

Any advice? Thanks, Aaron
 
No additional drivers installed.

Apps installed:
Adobe Reader 9
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus v10
Macromedia (now Adobe) Fireworks MX
Macromedia (now Adobe) Director MX 2004

The tools quit everytime I close Director MX 2004 for the first time since booting.

Some guy of your support team told me that the problem was reproduceable. But since a third party software was involved it could take a while to solve the problem. Well, this while is lasting for about a year now...
 
I have a lot of applications installed. I'd copy a list, but since PT closes all the time and I'm in Mac for the web, I can't. So here are some screen shots of my Task Manager (which, oddly, no longer shows up in my system tray) and MSCONFIG file. I can try not loading some stuff if that'd make things easier. Please advise. Thanks, Aaron
