    Hi. I've had this problem with the Beta 3 and now the RC. I can boot my FAT32 bootcamp partition just fine. However, as the machine loads, the taskbar gets "stuck". I can't click on the tray icons or open up the Start Menu. It stays stuck for about 5-10 minutes, then hear the XP loadup sound and it starts working normally. The weird thing is, it's only the taskbar that's stuck; the desktop is fine. I can double-click on a Word document on my desktop and Word opens it just fine, with no slowdown at all. Anyone know if there is a setting or something that Parallels is getting stuck on? Other than that annoyance, everything is great.

    FYI, this doesn't happen on my non-Bootcamp VM.
