    I got this issue on my iMAC.

    Running Win 8 Pro at Mountain Lion with Parallels desktop 8. All software updated to latest version.

    It is very annoying to get this message and it is not possible to minimize it either :(.

    I am also running same setup on my MacBook Pro without this issue.

    Do anyone have a solution?

    I know that this was over 6 months ago - but why hasn't this been patched with newer releases? I have 8.0.18483 (Rev.860857 Mar 30,2013) and have this problem as well.
    I see that there was a .reg file that would fix the problem; however, the person who hosted it has since pulled it.

    Any suggestions?

    Reinstall Parallels Tools

    Solution is Simple
    - Disable Profile Sharing
    - Reinstall Parallels Tools
    - Enable Profile Sharing

    Want to send me that registry file?

    I'm hoping someone is willing to share this registry file with me (none of the links seem to work)!

    I've tried everything support recommended (resulting in many BSOD's on boot via uninstallation of parallels tools) as well as the last comment in this thread (disable sharing, uninstall and reinstall parallels tools) to no avail.

    Upgrade was from WinXP->Vista->Win7 and I have this issue.

    Coming up on a year and no answer to this. I assume the "registry file" solution is obsolete now that there have been multiple updates to Parallels, however I still have the same problem -- now with Windows 8 and OSX 10.8.4. I can ignore the window and continue to work but if I ever close the window it restarts Windows. And FWIW all my sharing settings are working fine. Just can't shake the restart message.

    We are having the same issue with Windows 7 and need the regisitry file. It is no longer accessible on the previous posts. Anyone able to post it again? Or do we need to contact tech support?

    I am still having these problems with a fully up-to-date Mac OS X 10.8.5, fully up-to-date Windows 7 Ultimate, and Parallels Desktop for Mac 9.0.23062.

    It would be very nice if this issue was resolved by now.

    We need shared folders between Windows and Mac, so disabling those is not an option.

    Do you think a .reg file would work?

    Perhaps it is worth notice that the "hosted" shared folders in windows MUST BE ALL EMPTY in order for Parallels to "merge" or "map" those to the native OS X Folders after doing the reinstall of parallels tool. I did it that way and worked... of course, I could have tried to doing without the reinstall but I´m done!

    Hi: I have the same configuration (OX 7.5.1, Windows 7-up-to-date, Parallels Desktop 7-up-to-date) as btyler97, but, thankfully, I do appear to be having the same problem. Regrettably, I cannot offer any help in this regard.
    However, my recently resolved problem involved Windows 7 crashing with an error for pikbd.sys corruption (resulting from a corrupted download/installation of a driver for plualint? keyboard using DriverMax Pro 7.25). The resolution involved a system restore for Windows 7.

    Hi again:
    I have been unable to discover the most appropriate thread on which to post the problem described as follows:
    I have been operating my MacBook Pro 15" (Mac OS 10.7.5), with Windows 7 - Parallels Desktop, for about one and one-half years. However, whenever I execute a Time Machine backup, and leave the system unattended (i.e. with screen top open) to complete the process, I return only to find that my system has re-booted, long before the back-up is completed.
    For my only successful back-up (about 300 GB), I had to use sleep mode (screen top closed) continuously for unattended periods, until the backup completed over several days of extensive active operating periods.
    I do not use the auto-backup feature because I do not see how to change the shedule for backups away from the default schedule of hourly backups (too much stain on performance).
    Is there something that I am missing in setting up for such a back-up?
    Is the fact of Windows 7 - Parallels Desktop contributing the problem?
    I am currently operating at home, using direct LAN connectivity. I frequently operate away from home, using wi-fi for Internet access.
    In partial responses to my problem, I learned that there is a separate application to use to schedule back-ups. I am currently using it for scheduling daily backups. However, despite having downloaded and used another application "caffeine" to supposedly stop the Mac OS from going into sleep or hibernation mode after a prescribed time automatically (despite having set the timeframe to "never"), I still cannot complete that onerous initial backup of 300 GB, since the machine still goes into reboot mode after a modest timeframe of unattended operations (i.e. the screen cover left up). This happens after my initial success at finally achieving a successful backup, because I had to use a system restore/recovery process to cure another problem.
    I would be most grateful for any advice on how to get "caffeine" to operate correctly, such that I can be assured of being able to use the Time Machine backup process even after a system restore operation (should I be so unfortunate to suffer another crash requiring such a drastic step).
    I also tried another "freebie" application "Jiggler", as recommended by an Experts-Exchange guru, but even it did not seem to resolve the issue. However, now that my daily backups of Time Machine are relatively short, the problem is no longer that, but rather with my Malwarebytes Pro full system scans in my Windows 7 virtual machine.
    Appreciatively, Arbyem

    I'm running Parallels for Mac 9 on a 15" Retina MacBook Pro @ 10.9.1 with a 500GB SSD and 16GB RAM.
    Removing and reinstalling Parallels Tools worked for me.
    I tried once just re-installing. That didn't help.
    Go to Control Panel and actually remove Parallels Tools, then reinstall.

    Hi jrcpvaz:
    Thanks for your input.
    I had tried this approach previously, but without success.
    Actually, given that I can at least backup my Mac OS (excluding Windows 7 VM)using Time MAchine, to my Mac OS external USD HD, with a separate Windows 7 VM backup using Windows Backup on a separate External USB HD, I can live with the limitation of not being able to leave my MacBook Pro laptop unattended (because if I do so, then an auto-reboot of Mac OS occurs after approximately 10 minutes - despite the appropriate settings being applied to Mac OS such that the system ought to run unattended for as long as necessary to permit the Malwarebytes Pro Windows full system scan to complete - approximately two hours).
    Any other suggestions?
    Appreciatively, Bruce

    Colonel: My solution is not for the auto-reboot of Mac OS.
    This thread started out as "Parallels Tools Shared Profile in Windows 7 Constantly forces logout" and that is what my solution is about.
    You posted something to do with auto-rebooting Mac OS related to Time Machine backups. I think your post is in the wrong place.
