Bug in 6.0.11990 Opening email in Outlook 2010 causes HTML file "Save" popup

Any idea on when this will be fixed????? Been dealing with this BSOD for the past month, now i have to deal with this as well?? Why was this update even released..
 
This workaround applies both to problem with opening web links and to the problem with "Save as..." dialog.

1. Do as http://kb.parallels.com/en/9441 suggests
2. Open Parallels Desktop's Virtual Machine menu->Configure->Options->Applications
3. Check the "Web Pages" selection. If it is set to "Default" or "Open in Windows", then ignore the next step.
4. If it is set to "Open in Mac", set it to "Default", click OK to save changes and then set it back to "Open in Mac".

Good news from Italy. Your instructions worked fine in my case.
Now I'm able to open any help files (MSDN & Visual Studio internal pages included).
Outlook seems to not ask me to save the pages.
About step #3: in my case the check was already on "Default"

I'm going to perform some more tests.

Thank you.

Nova77, MacBoy - can you please generate problem reports (while your VMs are running) and post their IDs here?

Please note that none of the suggestions seemed to work: I set IE as default (after sending the report), and tried STim's solution, to no avail.
 
Nova77, have you tried the addition to workaround that I posted yesterday?

2. Open Parallels Desktop's Virtual Machine menu->Configure->Options->Applications
3. Check the "Web Pages" selection. If it is set to "Default" or "Open in Windows", then ignore the next step.
4. If it is set to "Open in Mac", set it to "Default", click OK to save changes and then set it back to "Open in Mac".

mrutter, thank you. Keep us updated please.

Yes, this is what I meant by "STim's solution".
(EDIT: I just realised that using your name might have been confusing, sorry :) )

Bug in Parallels Desktop 6.0 Build 6.0.11990

Hi Paralles

Yesterday I installed your Workaround with the new Parallels Tools. Outlook works for a while, no asking to save in html...

But since there, I have a few Outlook 2010 Crashes (since yesterday two times per day) and I have to repair via Office Tool.

I noticed that the Windows 7 (32Bit) Superfetch Service wont work. We have every time a new problem.

Then I installed a fresh Windows 7 (also 32Bit) with a new Office 2010... same troubles here!

Please fix this Parallels version immediate - we cannot work serious with that.

So I installed for now my HP Notebook so that I can work without the pain with crashing applications, services who won't start (printqueue, superfetch and so on...)

Thanks for a reply

Wow just great, I install your so called "Workaround" NOW instead of a dialog box popping up every minute, my Outlook crashes every 10..... I would rather deal with the popups.... How long do we have to wait and deal with this because you guys cant test your builds before you make everyone install them... Is this what we paid for.. some of us use this in the workplace and this is unacceptable.
