Ok installed and working! Works perfectly apart from one problem:
It crashes if you let the mac go to sleep whilst Parallels is running in full screen mode
At least I can run Sage so I can port my accounts over now.

So if you don't have the XP SP2 distribution, you can save on buying one.

TheMonkey and AtW - stop scaring me. You should be talking about dragging and dropping controls in the design screen in VS .net - not all this complicated stuff like threads and mutexes.
Otherwise you'll destroy my fantasy that IT has been a piece of piss over the last 10 years....

This sucks badly - debugger really helps in compex code, I wasted lots of time debugging function with inclined assembly blindly
Anyway, these things can happen - overall .net is suprisingly good with high performance, it could have been a lot worse.

It happena only when the debugger is attached, which leaves a good catch-22 situation. Basically I end up having to code blindly.

Does it happen when you run it standalone? The bug that I found was in framework itself, VS 2005 is a lot better IDE than VS 2003 that is slow in some debugging scenarios. The only thing that really pissed me off about both is that you can't debug C++ code with inlined assembly, even when stepping in Disassembly window!

Either then or when a thread is created.
It's definitely a race / deadlock under VS2005 as if you use the command line debugger it doesn't hang.

Does it hang when trying to bind to socket, is it under VS 2005 or something else?
