I'm also seeing this problem now. Bleh - Vista was too slow to be useful for what I need anyway - back to XP

Thanks. Changing acceleration from High to Normal seems to have solved the problem for me as well.
works finally.
I too had trouble installing the Vista auto updates. I would hand on restart, the activity monitor showed Parallels was running 105% most of the time, but the drive icon on Parallels stopped showing any action, so I paused and unpaused the virtual machine a few times to no avail. I then suspended it, put my macbook to sleep and I went to bed. in the morning, I un-suspended it (is that a word?) and it started right up without any problems. I didn't know about the acceleration trick, so mine is still on defaults. Hope this helps someone.

I had the same problem and solved it with setting the hardware acceleration to 'normal'. After build 3150 was released today I tried setting it back to high and had no problems so far. So the problem seems to be finally solved once and for all.
