    Hi all. (First timer here, sorry if anything with my post is wrong :p)

    When I have Network activated in Parallels settings (any settings with it activated) and tries go online on my parallels. My computer freezes after a couple of minutes.

    My computer:
    Windows XP
    Pentium D 3,4GHz
    2GB Ram

    Guest OS:
    Windows XP
    1GB Ram
    5000MB HDD
    Sound, activated (SB Live!)

    As I said before, when Network is activated my whole computer freezes after a couple of mintes online time, and I need to restart it "the hard way" to make it work again.

    If you would like to know anymore about it, please ask. I can provide much more information. Just ask, I wont bite ;)

    sb live is your problem. Creative cards are rubbish. You need to get an M-audio card. Get the Revolution 5.1 or 7.1. One of the best PC quality cards you can buy - withought bells and whistles of stupid cards

    As I said, only when the network is activated my computer freezes, else it works like a charm.

    And it worked perfectly with older versions of Parallels

    Okay, I did some more research and found out that one of the cores got maxed out (100% CPU on core no. 2) and I couldn't move anything and everything stopped. It's still ONLY when internet is being used by Parallels Guest OS (and activated).

    Anyone knows what the problem is? Or maybe the Parallels programmers? ;)
