Running SnapShot Manager:
Snapshots
Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac's new Snapshots enables you to erase mistakes and recover your virtual machine from system crashes and viruses with the click of a button. Enjoy peace of mind with Parallels Desktop 3.0's Snapshots.
A complete record of your virtual machine at the state it was created--OS, data, software, and settings--Parallels Desktop 3.0's Snapshots enables you to quickly and easily create and save multiple snapshots, even while your virtual machine is running.
In the event a virus or a Windows system crash, you can conveniently rollback your virtual machine to any previously saved state with all of your data and software intact. (As opposed to losing all of your data and reinstalling Windows and all your PC software.) Additionally, periodically creating a set of backups facilitates faster recovery time to get back on your feet, if disaster strikes.
With Parallels Desktop 3.0's Snapshot Manager, you can manage and view all of your snapshots in a tree pane that includes screen shots for each snapshot. Snapshot Manager enables you to revert back to previous snapshots, delete snapshots, and edit description information for each snapshot.
Snapshots are excellent for:
- Bulletproofing your Windows virtual machine from viruses and spyware
- Creating a regularly scheduled backup to revert your virtual machine to any previous stable state
- Rolling back your virtual machine after a software update, system crash, or software testing
To go to a snapshot 1 Open the virtual machine configuration. 2 Click the Run Snapshot Manager button on the toolbar. 3 In the Snapshot Manager window, choose the snapshot and click the Go To button.4 In the notification window, click Yes.
Reverting to the Previous Snapshot:
You can revert your virtual machine from its present state to the previous snapshot made on the same branch. To revert to the previous snapshot
1 Click the Revert To a Snapshot button on the toolbar or choose Revert To Snapshot from the Actions menu.
2 You will see the following message: 
Choose Yes to proceed. Click NO if you do not want to revert to previous image.
Utilizing Different Views:
A common problem is best described as Parallels being stuck or unresponsive. As you know, Parallels gives users three views to choose from. If you are a user that uses "Coherence" mode, switch your view to "Single Window." You will now see your Parallels desktop and more than likely you will be looking at an error/notification message in which you will need to perform an action to complete the task. At this point, Parallels will continue to operate normally.
Downloads/Utilities:
Parallels most recent build helps to stabilize the software and fixes many small errors, such as quirky keyboards issues. Recently, we have found that users who describe their keyboards typing in lowercase when the shift lock is on and vice versa need to run this build for their issue to be resolved.
This is the latest Parallels build, 5638 
This update helps to stabilize Parallels and reduce compatibility issues, such as an unresponsive keyboard! For more support on Parallels issue check out their knowledgebase and online forum.
