When I select Start/Shutdown in my Vista session, the default option seems always to be sleep. MS has apparently "improved" this so that it takes a snapshot of your system state and then continues with the shutdown of the system. That's what I've read, anyway. However, when I select Sleep, and OK, the Parallels window just goes to black, and then nothing happens. I have not been able to figure out how to wake it up, short of resetting the windows session, which is obviously not what I want to do. Anybody get this to work? The other thing I've noticed is that the Windows clock stops when I suspend the Parallels desktop, and then doesn't resync with the Mac's clock when I restart the Parallels session.
