Part II: Something Wicked Came…

Posted in Technology by Douglas Karr at 9:09 pm

Less than 4 days since announcing that I loaded up Vista in Parallels on OSX Leopard:
Vista Blue Screen on Parallels on OSX Leopard

Sigh.

You might also find these posts interesting:

  • If I hybernate Vista and suspend it, it seems to be okay.
  • Hi Ninja,

    I'm having luck with that method as well! It seems to only bluescreen if I suspend without hybernate - which could be a Parallels issue perhaps. That's still suspect, though, since that method works with other OS versions.

  • I'm not so sure that it's a Windows problem. I've gotten similar problems when my hard disks start to go bad. I know that's not what's going on here, but Vista can't either read from memory or read from your disk.
  • Retribution is schweet! The Mac Gods are rejecting the parasite ;-)

    I have problems like this with Parallels and Vista often. You will also find that you can't upgrade to new versions of Parallels (that might fix whatever bug you're hitting) without having to reactivate Vista, which may require a phone call to MS.
