    Stop Error 50 in Boot after using Transporter

    I've installed version 3, and managed to get it to convert my old disks after an initial disaster (thank .mac for Backups ;) ) so, emboldened, I went ahead with a transporter import of my IBM Thinkpad T60. Everything seemed to go smoothly, but when the VM boots, it bluescreens with what I think is a Stop error 50 (it goes by really quickly).
    I was having a similar problem on version 2.5, but that was causing stop error 7E.
    It does boot into Safe Mode with Networking, so it must be some driver or other. Anyway, I have parallels tools installed etc, and have used MSConfig to disable pretty much everything on startup, but still it bluescreens unless I boot it in Safe Mode.
    Any ideas?

    cheers

    PS, when you install Parallels tools in Safe Mode, it seems to mess something up, and gives a strange error, you need to go in Regedit, find the
    HKLM_LocalMachine\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce key that is created and change the / in the key to \ as they are written in wrong. This was also a bug in 2.5

    thanks. Tried that, but no joy. Still the same problem. It only has the parallels driver installed but still blue-screens on normal startup (including with all services and startup objects disabled)

    And can you remove all Parallels tools from your VM?

    Ah, you can remove "Automatically restart" mark in your computer properties to see what concrete happens with your VM. This checkbox can bo found there:
    1. Rughtclick "My computer"
    2. Select "Properties"
    3. Select "Advanced" pane
    4. Click "Settings button" at "startup and recovery" section
    and you see it.
