    Hi all, just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

    I've been using Parallels since it's early days and have always been impressed with the performance - until now. I run Parallels on my MacBook Core Duo with 2gb RAM and I've noticed in the latest build that windows are now very 'sluggish' when you drag them and the whole perofmrnace 'seems' degraded somehwhat. I am using WindowsXP SP2 with 512mb assigned and the very latest Parallels Tools installed. I even uninstalled the old tools to re-install the new ones and that made no difference. Alsom, when scrolling down pages, there is a significant amount of video 'tearing'.

    Anyone any ideas? It's really driving me nuts as I used Parallels on a daily basis now and rely on it more and more.

    I had the same problem until I bumped the RAM allocation up to 1G

    I tried that and it's still really sluggish.

    I just installed 3150 and it's just the same.
