Windows Slow & Failing Internet

[blobdang]

I have recently up-graded from Parallels v.3 to v.4.0 (first) and shortly after upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (I use Windows XP within the VM).

I have two problems:-

1. Internet connection is constantly failing within my VM - yet is fine outside the VM on my imac. I'm constantly having to re-start - I then get it for a while and then it goes, i.e. I can't send and receive emails and Internet Explorer won't work.
2. Everything is extremely slow - especially when opening up.

Before the upgrades everything was fine.

Please help!...

Fix for Windows Slow in V4

For months, I silently endured the glacial slowness of Parallels 4. But over time, I noted that the slowness had the feel of a virtual memory management problem.

Tonight, I tried the following from Windows, and it appears to be a fix... go to Start, Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance [Settings], Advanced, Virtual Memory [Change], Paging File Size for Selected Drive . Select the radio button for "System managed size". Now work you way back out by pressing all the "OK" buttons.
