    I double-click on the desktop shortbut and the icon starts to bounce and then nothing. I also have two Windows program shortcuts in my Dock and they have the same result after clicking on them; they bounce for a couple seconds as though Parallels is starting up and then the process quits.

    Parallels 4.0
    Leopard (whatever the latest build is)
    Windows XP SP3 via BootCamp
