"The Color Scheme has been changed"

[Larry Goldman]

When Windows Vista Home Basic starts inside Parallels 5.0.9220 on Mac OS X 10.6.2, I get a message "The Color scheme has been changed", because prl_tools.exe is causing problems. Any solutions?

Check the Add / Remove dialog for StarDock MyColors app and try removing it.
