I am trying to resolve an issue at the moment (Xp pro doesn't acknowledge a resized HD image) I have just downloaded 1970 to upgrade from 1940 but my retail key is not accepted by the upgrade. |

Non-US keys will not work in downloaded versions of the software. The only way you can upgrade is to reinstall your boxed version and use the upgrade from the menu. that version of 1970 will work with your key (which you wont have to reinstall since it will remember as it upgrades). (Many of us here see this as a misfeature that Parallels should change). To make the VM recognize an expanded image, read the sticky thread on how to expand a disk image. It isn't a one step process, although a tool from Parallels wold be a welcome addition. __________________ MacBook Pro 2.4G; core 2 duo; 4GB RAM, 500G HD 10.4.11 XP, 768 Meg RAM |

Thanks for that. I posted the thread before having a good look round the forum. I am going to try the resize procedure this afternoon. |

I have upgraded to build 1970, and now I can load the XP install CD...the problem is that during the installation of XP I get the following error: "File \i386\c_1252.nls could not be loaded. The error code is 512 Setup cannot continue, Press any key to exit" This is from within the XP installation CD via Parallels. Please advice... |

I have the Mac Pro and have installed build 1970. For whatever reason build 1970 quit working so I unstalled and reinstalled it. Why on earth does parallels tools have to be so hard to install. I try it at least a dozen or so times and finally "luck out". I click VM and install parallels tools and then.,.......absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!! I check the log file and it is empty. The last time I sucessfully installed tools, I deleted everything that had to do with tools off of windows and then it installed. Tried that this time and still....nothing. I am working right now without tools and I have files to back up. |

I found a solution, use build 3150+ (see forum sticky). Installed, no problem....well, Kubuntu needed the vga=792 parameter at boot time to see the install, but other than that it worked fine. Also, make sure you use 512mb ram (nothing more/less). |
