start XP twice to get it running

Hi,

Did anyone experience this? I have to "start" my XP VM then it lockes, I press "Stop" and then "start" again, choose (in windows) startup normal, then it runs smoothly.....

TIA

Do you Shut Down 'gracefully'?

 

Always gracefully

Hi Eru,

Yes always gracefully, the problem started approx. 3 weeks ago before never any major problems with parallels. (started using from build 18XX, and always zapped old installations)

Did you completely zap Parallels? http://forum.parallels.com/thread1226.html

Did you try re-installing the tools?

What SP is your XP at?

 

SP2 and zapped

Hi,

Strange thing is that it "just happened". No changes to XP (with sp2) or to parallels (still 3188)

So in my humble opinion it must have something to do with OSX. I did install X11 and an update for X11 and the gimp, after that the problem started.

But I can live with it, probably next version of parallels will fix this.

Strange... Very strange. Try un-installing X11 and the GIMP.
