I just upgraded Parallels on my 1-month old iMac from Parallels 3.0 build 4560 to 5160. Now, whenever I load WindowsXP (sp2), the following happens:
1. WindowsXP comes up, apparently normally; but then
2. I get a "serious error" Windows message;
3. Windows crashes and shows a BSOD; and
4. Windows reboots, only to have the same crash sequence.
The BSOD message includes "Bad_Pool_Header."
This is, of course, frustrating since the earlier Parallels versions worked perfectly. I am, obviously, disappointed and wish that I had not upgraded to 5160. I should add that my Vista vm works okay under 5160. But, I depend upon having WindowsXP. HELP!
