Hi, after a freeze of W2000 i had kill parallels. Since that moment i can't start parallels again. Even complete deinstallation and a reinstallation won't work. Any ideas?

Try to remove you Win2000 *.pvs file and then start Parallels. Probably your *.pvs is broken and Parallels is trying to load it at startup (as recently used).
Problem solved I have forgotten to uninstall one kext. After a - now complete - reinstallation everything works perekt again. paul
