Hotfix Update: Parallels Desktop 4.0 Build 3810 is available

Warning fix is no good...

I just tried this and it fixes the issue. If I enable multi-monitor support once the VM is booted, it remains fixed. Unfortunately, as soon as I reboot again, the problem is back, so I need to remember to do this every time I start my VM. I did open up a ticket (663077) with support. They had me try build 3810.237520 which did NOT resolve the problem. At least the hack of disabling multi-monitor support still works.

WARNING: I have tried this fix a few times, and the system becomes unstable and eventually CRASHES. Best to stick with single monitor mode until this bug is fixed --It is a royal PITA.
 
I am not so happy to report that with this release, not only is copy and paste still not working, (anyone home at parallels on this?), but the o/s is very unstable when suspending. I run Visual Studio constantly, sometimes several instances. *Almost* consistently, after suspending and re-awakening, the system runs horribly slow. Each new operation i do, for example, opening a dialog, switching to a text editor, switching to a form design etc, takes anywhere from 3-10 seconds. For anyone who uses a computer more than once a month, you know how intrusive this is.

Happy to report that the latest release fixes this problem (boy that took a long time to get fixed).
 
With Parallels Windows XP will be running on a "Virtual Machine", this means that OS X will be running like normal with Windows XP running inside a separate application, in effect two operating systems running at once.
