    You can solve this problem by installing the latest JRE from sun, and then replacing all of contents of the GMATPrep jre directory with the updated version.

    I replaced the contents of the JRe directory and that error is now gone. But the app still sits forever with a message that it's loading the practice content. Has anyone gotten this to actually work in Parallels?
