Parallels Mounter Fails

I am running a Mac Book Pro 17 (early 2009) 2.93 GHz,8 gigs ram, SL 10.6.1 and Parallels Desktop 4.0.3846. When I boot the Mac in 64 bit mode the Parallels mounter will not mount a VM drive. Parallels explorer will work however. Anyone out there having the same problem? Everything works fine booting into 32 bit mode.

Mac Book Pro 17, Mac OS X (10.6.1), Parallels 4.0.3846

More than likely the mounter uses a driver that is 32 bit only. The best place to get this question answered for certain is the Parallels forum.

Posted there. They review submittals before they are posted and each time I get a stupid thing to check. Last suggestion was to run chkdsk on my XP VM. This sugestiom was made after I posted that I could not mount any VMs disks including Ubuntu and Windows 7. I can however open disks on all machines with Parallels explorer.
