Problem with running parallels after installing update 1970

Bit poster
I recently installed the 1970 update and now get the error message below when I start parallels.

"Attention! The configuration file /Library/Parallels/.dhcpd_configuration,
which contains network bridge options, was not found or is not accessible in the application's home directory /Library/Parallels/. Please login as root to run the parallels configuration program."

I can not run my VM when I get this error. I get a warning message that my memory is set too high (it is not) and then I get another error after that.

If I logon as the root user, I do not get the error and my VM runs with no issues. However, I don't see any parellels configuration program. What is that?

I really need to get this resolved so I don't have to logon as root user to run my VM.
Any help on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated....
 
Garyunc,

Please verify which version Parallels reports in About box. If the build number reported is not 1970 (as I suspect) this means that you have moved your previous Parallels installation from its default location. Delete that moved copy and run Parallels from /Applications/Parallels/ folder.
 
In my early days with Parallels I set 1gb of my 2gb
and got all sorts of problems

unitl i reduced the memory as recommended to circa 700 mb
when the old and now 1970 just run sweetly and keeps on trucking

so how much memory have you and have you allocated?

memory and Windows Vista upgrade Advisor 1.0

before booting myVM today i reviewed my VM mmeory allocation:-

Max 1500
max recommeneded 924

of which i am using 768 mb
which works very well with WinXP 2 and a 6gb virtual hard disk half full

older laptops had a similar ste up with 500 mp RAM

just for fun I got Windows Vista upgrade Advisor 1.0 and ran ascan
(my 5 year old Vaio fnote book ails)

McAfee firewall made it hang for a moment until i gave permission to access the WAN
