System Lockup - Win 7 x64 and Outlook

[SeattleNick]

Stats:
Parallels 6 latest version
on Macbook Pro 2010 version running SL
Win 7 x 64 client machine
Office 2010

I've found that often, not always, but often when the system is left idle and an email is received while Outlook 2010 is running, the system will freeze up and require a hard reboot.

I've also found that this appears to happen when the message notification window comes up in Windows (the one that displays the teaser about a new email with the subject, etc.).

Despite my searching, I've not found what could be causing this, but it's very frustrating. Anyone else have ideas?

So true

I have recently noticed this issue since upgrading to 12094. I don't recall ever having it before the upgrade, but here it is nonetheless. I have a couple of questions for you about similarities between our configurations:

I have a Core i7 2.66GHz MacBook Pro 17 with a 512GB SSD, 8GB memory.

I have configured my Windows 7 x64 Enterprise guest with 4GB memory, 2 processors, and 150GB HDD space.

Do you have 2 processors assigned to your Win7 x64 guest?

Are you running on an SSD?

What level of Parallels Desktop are you running now? Were you running when you opened this thread?

Please advise,
Benjamin
