Repeated crashes running FS One simulator

See below for config info...

I have had very good experience with Parallels Desktop - running 2D graphics-intensive, mission critical marine navigation programs such as MaxSea. Recently I've been trying to run the RC flight simulator "FS One" as the only XP user process [see http://fsone.com].

The FS One software operates without problems when I boot Mac Pro directly into XP. Under Parallels VM I can run FS One for a bit before crashing - up to 5 minutes before crashing.

These crashes occur running either a Boot Camp VM or a vanilla VM [created via Transporter]. The XP configs are identical for the two VMs.

I've attached a much-trimmed OS crash report.

Config:

Mac Pro 5GB
OS 10.5.4
Parallels Desktop build 5608, 2048MB allocated
XP Pro SP 2

Thank you -- that is a very large hammer. Which seems to have fixed whatever was wrong regarding hal.dll.

I found mention of the Clear option in the User Guide -- but it is in the context of "you are done using your Boot Camp partition in Parallels".

Is there documentation somewhere regarding such as this hal.dll issue?

PS - the first dialog following the Clear mentions that "you will have to Reactivate". Does that mean Windows activation?
