    Searches of the Parallels Desktop for Mac forum has come up dry on this topic.

    First, my config:
    MacBook Pro
    2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Mac OS X 10.4.8
    Parallels Desktop for Mac release 3170 RC3
    - running single VM
    - Windows/XP in 256 MB of assigned memory

    Problem:
    3170 RC3 running fine. Several apps (Microsoft and 3rd party) run fine.
    Maximizing or Minimizing app window works, but if I grab corner or edge of application window to custom resize it, XP crashes immediately (and reboots). The install of Windows/XP is from distribution CD that ran on a heavily used Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop for near 6 years now, and never showed this problem.

    Has anyone seen this? Is there a workaround? A fix forth coming?
