Ok so I was running Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0, I had a single 500x699 image open, at the same time I was running Windows XP under Paralles 4.0
and had one program running in that.
Suddenly, as I press the ok button to save my picture in Photoshop the entire screen goes light blue, and then after a moment my desktop loads again.
However Windows/Paralles, and Photoshop have closed. I reopen Photoshop, and reload my picture, it never saved.
So I hide Photoshop and I re-open Paralles.
When I do, windows appears in a window(the mode I had it in before) and it is running as if I had simply hidden it(right-click the icon on the dock...) so I save my work on there and try to shutdown windows, however, my computer once again goes blue then loads my desktop and has nothing running.
I open Paralells again and it shows the shutdown screen for windows and plays the log-off sound.
At this point I close Paralles completely and open the activity Monitor, which shows that my free memory is a ~243MB out of my 4GB of RAM.
This doesn't make much sense as there are no programs running.
Also my VM is 130GB, and my HD's free space is only ~133GB. at this point I reset my computer and then open activity monitor again, my memory usage is back to normal but my VM is now 140GB! more than my HD's Free space. It has since reduced to ~132GB over the course of me writing this message.
I'm sorry this is so long, but I have no Idea why this happened, and my 1-year warranty is up on oct 31st so if there is a problem, I need to know.
I am running OS X 10.6.1 and also Over the past 24 I have streamed ~120 youtube videos both on os x and windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
