I did the following:
1 - downloaded new version
2 - started old version, uninstalled old parallels tools
3 - shut down (start menu, "turn off") windows
3a- quit parallels
4 - installed new parallels
4a- replaced dock icon
4b- started parallels, it found my 3 virtual machines (xp, linux, 98)
5 - booted xp (went fine)
6 - let it find "hardware"
7 - installed new parallels tools
8 - rebooted - black screen hang...
9 - started in safe mode, went to uninstall parallels tools as per FAQ - NOT THERE!
10- still would not boot - I tried quitting parallels, rebooting, nothing worked
11 - started in safe mode, installed parallels tools IN safe mode
12 - XP booted normally, seems to work fine.
...for anyone who is having a similar problem.
