    Hi,

    I have a MacPro 3Ghz, 2GB with Mirorred 500GB HD's. When I run Paralles, my system just freezez, no Panic's, just FREEZ.

    Are there guys out there or, with a workaround, or with the same freeze problem?

    The freezing happens at random moments. i did not yet got the Windows start up fully.

    I have the same problem on my Mac Pro (2.66 MHz, 2GB memory)
    Everytime when I boot my system and I try to use Parallels it freezes my Mac Pro.
    It also happened when I tried to work on Windows XP and the screen saver was on.
    The only solution for that moment is to reinstall Parallels Desktop, then it works agin.

    Description of the "Freezing"
    ---------------------------------------
    The mouse moves very slowly and with shocks.
    Finder doesn't respond anymore and Parallels Desktop can't be stopped by using force quit.
    The only way is to shutdown the system by pressing the powerbutton for about 7 seconds.
    This is very frustrating.
    :mad:

    Latest version of Parallels Desktop is still has issues with Mac Pro. We apologize that this situation arose. Our developers work 24 hours a day to deliver the totally working solution as soon as possible.

    Any official word on when Parallels will support Mac Pro systems with 4GB (or more) RAM?

    My Mac Pro (3.0GHz Quad Xeon, 4.0GB, X1900 XT, 500GB, Airport Extreme, Bluetooth) arrived this week, and I'd love to use Parallels on it. I'll be starting a new work project soon using Ubuntu linux, and my hope is to create a Parallels VM for it.
