Hi, I've downloaded and installed the Parallels for Windows trial and wanted to give it a try. My system is Windows XP SP2. I installed Fedora Core 6 as guest OS - this seems to have worked fine. Installation finished and the VM wanted to reboot. After rebooting nothing happens. I just see the Paralles start message and system memory: Parallels[...] 640 KB Base Memory 393216 KB Extended Memory _ There it hangs... no message, nothing. It keeps my machine busy with 50% CPU load (running on a Core 2 Duo processor, so one core is completely busy). I left it this way for some minutes, but nothing happened, so I stopped the VM. Tried it 3 times, the behaviour is always the same. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong here?
