I use the Parallels Version "Parallels-Desktop-1832" and have XP installed. After I have put my Window XP in suspend mode, I can see the configuration and resources menu again. If I click now on "Auto Start" in the configuration the pop-down menu will say that the virtual machine is suspended and if I want to edit the configuration, he has to drop the suspended state. I then say "No" (I don't want to edit, and loose the suspended state). After this Parallels freezes with one of the two CPU's at 99%. I can always reproduce it, if I start Parallels, choose my suspended XP and then click on "Auto Start" as told. If I click on the resources first it sometimes freezes sometime not. I can also reproduce this with a suspended MS-DOS. (First try did not, second try did freeze). Can somebody else reproduce this behaviour?
