This is maddening, I upgraded to 3036 the day it came out. My VM's worked (except Freespire) and all of a sudden today (8th) Vista RC1 work work anymore. It boots fine in Safe Mode and I've used Vista for days, even installed Parallels Tools, its been working fine. Then today it just stopped working, except safe mode, didn't change anything or do anything different. Anyone else having a problem like this? is Vista and the new Parallels Tools working for anyone else? TIA, Peter
