Anyone else seen this problem? I have XP running in the latest
(non-beta) release of Parallels with an application in Coherence mode.
After running for a while (the length of time is indeterminant)
applications start hanging up both with in Parallels *and* in OSX
itself. I end up having to force shutdown on the system.

Anyone else seen this problem?

Nope. And I use Coherence daily. Have you asked or searched about
this in the Parallels user forums?:

I didn't see a forums link from the main Parallels page.. probably my
old eyes... ;)

I'll go ask there. Thanks.

no. What is the amount of RAM on your machine?

(I must say, while the system was reasonably working with 1G, everything
has visibly become *instant* since I have added another G...)

so it's clearly not this. To finish with this memory issue, I don't
remember right now, but isn't there a "parallels machine RAM allocation"
that you'd have set too low? (e. g. <500M...)

I have 1200MB of RAM allocated to the VM and 16MB of Video RAM.

Intel VT-x support is enabled also.

So I upped the memory usage from 1200MB to 1500MB and the problem went
away and hasn't been back... Yea.. I'm at a loss, too...

Oh well... I'll just be grateful.. ;)

No, I use the it in coherence mode on a couple of different machines and
have not had the same problem.
