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 Thanks.
