    I'm running the parallels on a Mac with WindowsXP as the guest os. When it runs, it runs fine. However, intermittently the windows seemingly hangs within parallels. I'm unable to click into any windowsXP app windows. My only recourse is to force quit parallels to kill the virtual machine. It seems to happen when I have not interacted with windows for a while (maybe an hour?). This happens several times a day and is very annoying. I'm running parallels in window, rather than coherence, mode.

    I just downloaded the latest parallels yesterday and reinstalled the Parallels Tools for that version. Same problem happens. This makes parallels virtually unusable after I initially bring it up because it usually "freezes" like this the next time I try to interact with it. I'm not able to click on any other Windows stuff either (e.g. the toolbar along the bottom).

    Looking for any help in resolving this.

    If it matters, the Windows partition is also a bootcamp partition.
