	I've been using Win XP inside Parallels on my MacBook for many weeks now. Has been working great. (Other than my stupid MacBook just turning itself off randomly.) However, this morning, after a random turn-off, when I invoke Parallels and boot up Win XP, it runs, gets to the login screen, and then gives me about 60-90 seconds before it just silently quits. XP is running... then it seems to stop... then it returns to the Parallels' VM Configuration window. Its almost like the random turn off problem moved from the Mac to the Windows VM! HELP!?!!
