Quit and force quit dock no help. Safe boot and repair permissions no help.
Couldn't restart.. Blue screen to login and back to blue screen.
Tried to do bug report from iPad but drop down list for configuration empty.
Resorting to restore from time machine.
Anyone licked this?
Anyone know of a way to back out an update?
MacBook Pro 15.4 2.4 GHz, Mac OS X (10.6.4), Parallels 5 and Windows Vista

Some other users have identified this as an issue with Parallels.

Hey Gr,
Are you running Parallels Desktop 6? If so, they posted a KB article with a workaround: http://kb.parallels.com/en/111541
Thanks all. By the time I got my system restored but not updated it was late. The problem was gone, but came back when I took the combined updates through 10.6.8 again. But this time I had your help and since I had only one VM I chose to deselect the option to show the folder in the dock as per captfred and later besabella. I didn't try Kappy's solution, because I didn't want to recreate the problem again.
I had the same problem and Kappy's solution worked.
- I had parallels but removed before
- installed VMware fusion instead
- still Dock is 90%
- reinstalled SL and udpated it to 10.6.8
- still same issue
- deleted /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and did "killall Dock"
- now it works!!
Just wanted to let you know that Parallels released an update that addresses the issue: http://kb.parallels.com/111570
10.6.8 Dock uses 100% CPU.
