In the Event Viewer if the message is merely "Informational" and not an
"Error" level with a red dot and "X" in white over it you may basically
ignore it. Have you tried going into MSConfig and disabling startup items
that are not needed? The applications will start only when you actually
invoke them, not every time you boot up. Is all of your software updated,
including "Parallels"? It is true that IE7 crashes a lot or hangs but so
does Firefox 3 beta according to posts in another group.
