I have successfully been using Parallels to run Windows on my Mac. But today, it won't start up. I start Parallels, it goes through the boot sequence, the windows logo appears and then – blank. Black screen. Parallels seems to think everything's fine and that the virtual machine is running. The mouse and keyboard works.

I have tried:

restarting parallels desktop
restarting the virtual machine
resetting the virtual machine
pausing and restarting

restarting my mac
switching windows to boot from the cd
turned off all shared folders

The only difference from today versus any other day is that I am at an office, and not home. Could it get so messed up from connecting to a wifi and a server that it breaks Windows?

I don't know what I should do.

Please help.
 
Okay, so apparently this was the black screen of death -issue. I couldn't boot in safe mode, so tossed parallels, reinstalled it and windows and office and everything. sigh. I bet this happened because of the update I installed for the mac.
