Frozen XP login screen w/ 3150

[jcastanza]

Hi folks. I just upgraded to 3150 and am using it on OS X, with XP SP2 installed as a VM. I was all working fine, until the last time I started up the VM - now it gets to the XP login screen and I have no mouse cursor, and apparently no keyboard input either. CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing, netiher does "sending" those keys via the Actions menu.

Really frustrating afer the battle of getting XP all set up - I really don't want to do that over. Any throughts/advice would be more than helpful!

thanks.

I should add

This began on the regular, latest release version of Parallels. It started *before* I went and tried upgrading to the beta (hoping this would fix it). So this isn't a "beta" problem. This is a "tools failed to install and now left my mouse and keyboard hosed" problem.

I have to say, that I've not once received a reply from customer support regarding the problems I've had with this software. At this point I have to say, sadly, that just maintaining a 2nd laptop with XP on it and using it along side my MBP is less hassle and results in my being able to actually work rather than spend all day fighting with this buggy software.

There must be some easy way to do something so I can get keybaord and mouse input back on the XP login screen??? I *really* don't want to go through the painful process of setting XP all the way back up where it was. I've done that enough this month because of Parallels.
