Windows 7 RTM

Has anyone documented which versions of Windows 7 RTM can be run in Parallels 4 3844? This is a Mac Book Pro core 2 duo 2.33 with 10.5.8, am I going to be able to run the x64 versions of Windows 7? Or am I limited to the x32 versions?

Anyone has practical experience installing any of the MSDN releases in the current Parallels 4?

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RTM last night. Install was smooth, only problems so far:

1. It wasn't obvious how to setup the audio drivers after Parallels Tools is installed.
2. The task bar kept disappearing, I fixed it but I honestly can't explain how I did it.

Except for that, it seems to be working fine.

Windows 7 Version

I have x64 Windows 7 Professional installed now and the install went fine. The only one thing that I'm fighting with at the moment is once I installed the Parallels Tools, the Start Menu/Task Bar disappeared so I'm trying to get that figured out. Once I remove the tools, the start menu comes back so it seems to be directly related to the tools.

I would think that any version of Windows 7 is supported in Parallels so you should be okay with which ever version you want.

I have been using RTM since it went public on Parallels. I had no problems with it until I started to tweak some of the settings. Now If I leave the window open and go to do some Mac stuff, I come back to a message saying that Windows is paused. I press the button to get it going again and I get the eternal blue ring. It only did this AFTER I tweaked Parallels. So if I can figure out how to undo what I've done, short of uninstalling/reinstalling please help!
