Parallels Desktop doesn't work with the new SMC update for MacBook?

I installed parallels last week and enjoyed it very much. a couple of days ago I downloaded and installed the new MacBook SMC Firmware Update from apple website, and now I have a SMC of version 1.4f10. the firmware update adjusts fan behavior in the MacBook.

the problem is, after updating the firmware of my MacBook, parallels doesn't work any more. when I click on the parallels icon, after a couple of seconds, a message pops up and says "The application Parallels Desktop quit unexpectedly". I believe I have the latest version of Parallels installed. and i tried to reinstall parallels but it doesn't help, i still get the same error.

do any of you have the same problem?

 

It seems that your recently used *.PVS file with VM configuration is corrupted and Parallels fail to load it. Try to go in Finder to <your user>/Library/Parallels, locate your VM folder and remove *.PVS from it. Then launch Parallels again and create new VM and attach old disk image to it.

 

I removed winxp.PVS from that directory, but it doesn't help, still have the same problem.

 

Very strange. I can't see how firmware update could affect Parallels before VM actually started. Did you reboot your MB after update? Which version of Parallels do you use?

 

yeah I did reboot my MacBook after update, I'm using the 1848 version.

I've just checked files in the bugreports folder, all the log files have the same content:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parallels Desktop 2.2 for Mac OS X version 2.2 Build 1848.0 from 2006-06-13
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Received SIGBUS: Bus error
Access to fault address: 0x0
unknown signal sender: 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Frankly I've no idea what could happen to cause such error. I doubt it because of firmware update. Try to completly uninstall Parallels and then install it again. And reboot once Parallels is installed again.

 

Hi Andrew, i've tried completely uninstall Parallels, and install again several times. can you please at least tell what's going wrong from the log file?

 

I also updated my firmware on my MBP and I am not having any problems...

 

I have a black MacBook and I updated my firmware. No problems here either!

 

problem solved after reinstalling the system.
