    Since updating Yosemite to the latest 10.10.3, I am getting regular hard locks while running Parallels 9. It's only happening when Parallels 9 is running.

    I'm running a Windows 7 guest off a bootcamp partition. I'm also running a dual monitor display on my 13" MacBook Air, and I run Parallels in fullscreen.

    Parallels support asked for logs and then told me to basically wait and see if they ever fix it (Really?). Since Parallels 10 is out, I'm left wondering if they'll actually fix this compatibility issue with 9 (which is supposed to be compatible with Yosemite) or if they are just going to leave me hanging (pun intended).

    Is anyone else having this? Any ideas what might be causing it?

    I am trying this today. I will come back with results if/when it crashes or in a couple of days if it does not.

    and it crashed again. So, this did NOT fix the problem.

    If you read my original post, you would see that I already have gone through that process. I got elevated to the engineer level, and then I was basically dropped and told it might get fixed but probably not. I was lead to believe you guys would support (compatibility wise) Parallels 9 on Yosemite. What I'm seeing from you guys is convincing me to NEVER buy a Parallels product again (I was planning to buy 11 when whatever the next OS X is comes out). Frankly, your product is not worth $50 or more a year to me. Two years? Sure, but not every year. As it stands, if you guys don't fix this soon, I won't ever buy again, and I'll be sure to to never recommend you either.
