    Just bought new iMac and Parallels Desktop. Installed Parallels per manual and created standard VM for Windows XP. When I try to install Windows XP by clicking on the Power On button in Parallels the screen grays and a window pops up saying "Restart computer....". But I can't continue because the keyboard and mouse are locked and the only way I can continue is to power off the iMac. And when I restart I get error message that iMac was incorrectly shutdown.
    What am I doing wrong? Any ideas or similar experiences?

    The new iMac uses the core 2 duo (64 bit) processor so you need Parallels build 1922, not the release version of Parallels you can buy. You can download it from the site here -- search for the link in the forum -- I dont remember it.

    Thanks for help. Found download and now up and running. Works great so far, faster than I thought it might be.
