So this has been going on since the great Parallels crash a few weeks ago. I will launch my parallels desktop, and one of the next five things happens: 1) I get to the log in, but nothing happens when I hit ctrl+alt+del if I hit ctrl+option to release the mouse/keyboard, my mouse shows up in a much different place than where it showed on the windows screen. Nothing I do will enable my keyboard or mouse to interact with the log-in dialog or windows application. 2) I am able to enter to the log in, input my log in information, and after hitting enter, the same thing from above happens. I can't go anywhere, do anything without shutting down windows entirely. 3) I get past the log in screen my desktop picture appears, and nothing happens. At all. Period. 4) I get past the log in screen, my desktop picture appears, it tells me it's loading my personal settings, and nothing happens. 5) I successfully log-in... but it takes a looooong time to get there. I'm currently using: Mac OS X V 10.6.4 with a 2.4 GHZ intel core 2 duo, 4 gb 667 mhz ddr2 sdram memory. My capatity is 313.4 GB, I have 40.88 GB Available.
