    Hi.
    This has happened to me one time before and I just restarted the computer.
    But this time, I will not surrender, THIS TIME, I WILL FIGHT!

    Ok, so I was in XP in Parallels and the decided to shut it down. So I did, and waited, waited, waited, waited, and it just wouldn't shut down. So I thought "Oh well, no problemo! I'll just kill the process!" So I did.

    The I noticed that my comp was slowing down tremendously.. "Not again!"
    Apparently it left some other process on that has with parallels to do. So why don't I just kill it?
    Well I'll tell you.

    I've tried Activity Monitor (crash)
    ps in Terminal (not working)
    top in Terminal -""-
    and iStat Menus (simply not showing)

    Why? I can't understand.. My CPU is like 80% on both cores all the time due to this.

    So what can I do?
    What is the name of the processes that Parallels drives?
    Tell me, so I can do a sudo kill -9 :D

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Please follow these steps in regards to the issue:

    Restart MAC, don't start any applications. Uninstall Parallels Desktop using the .dmg file.
    Now, please follow these steps :

    1. Open Finder.
    2. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    3. Choose MAC HD.
    4. Choose repair disk permissions.
    After running the repair disk permissions , restart the computer. Install Parallels Desktop.
