Mac crashed when I try to power on VM for first time
Does anybody a fix for this? I just installed my copy of Parallels. I've set up a VM. Checked to make sure it's pointing to the only CD Rom drive on my imac. I put in my WIndows software installer disk. And then try to power on to get the install going, like the user's manual suggests. However, it crashes my entire computer. Anyone have a fix?

Thanks,

Todd

You will probably get more useful results if you include some information with your request, such as:
Exact Mac model
Installed RAM
RAM assigned to Parallels
RAM assigned to VM
Parallels build number
Guest OS
Any non default choices you made in setup
