I installed the upgrade then booted my win xp instance. A message box popped up saying the parallels tools were out of sync and to install the new tools. I started the new tools install. Another window popped up saying new hardware (video controller) had been discovered and a parrallels video driver was displayed in a dropdown list. I picked it and proceeded with the install. A reboot was required after the tools install completed so I did. The instance no longer boots. Windows logo appears for a few seconds then window goes black and dead. Parallels support (which has been entirely unsatisfactory in their response) said to boot in safe mode. Unfortunately f8 or fn-f8 have no effect on the Windows boot process now. Looks like I'm hosed.

I like the new features but am not too happy with the product at the moment :-) System is an intel macbook pro.
