I have a mac pro with 3 mg's of memory and running vista 32. in a boot camp config Parallels worked perfectly in the demo ( downloaded ) , my problems started when i tried to install the lic. I purchased a lic, and it registered, when i went to start the vm it gave the message that seems to be well know re: " guest os cant run in pae mode. it says " please run in non pae mode. I have looked everywhere and i cant determine how to fix this, i did reinstall the full parallels, i did delete the pvs file per the thread in this forum, The parallel program starts and then gives me that message over and over again. Look guys, all i did was buy a lic, pay my money and i cant use the product. Im sure there is someone here with much more experience with this program than I , who can give me a simple fix. HELP! Can i simply remove parallels and start again. Can i get tech support without paying more $$ Is there a way to start a mac in non - pae mode. Please send me any thoughts you all may have. Thank you Peter Kofman P.Eng President Projectcore inc pkofman@rogers.com 416.315.9148
Can i simply remove parallels and start again. Yes, if you want , but this is not the case, What is installed in Boot CamP Vista?, Windows Xp is it 64bit edition Can i get tech support without paying more $$ Email support is free, only phone support is paid
thanks for the prompt reply My bootcamp windows version is vista-32 thanks and looking forward to a solution, regards Peter
deleted that file I read somewhere on this forum that i should delete that file , i have now removed parallels and im going to reinstall, my boot camp vista 32 partition is still in place and i can start windows in boot camp but not is parallels, before i reinstall parallels are there files i should delete in order to get a clean install?? Peter
This is not from Parallels side. Please copy/paste string bellow to Terminal and paste output here for n in `diskutil list |grep -v /| grep disk | awk '{ print $NF }'`; do diskutil info $n; done; diskutil list

Thank you, looks correct, Just to confirm how much memory do you have and how much did you assign to VM?
I have 3gb mem and 1 allocated to vm however parallels indicates 512 I unistalled and reinstalled. I think it corrupted my windows installation because windows is now asking for revalidation , it thinks my vista install is not genuine. I tried to validate and it wont let me , I really dont want to start again but it is starting to feel like im going to have to delete the entire partition and reinstall my bootcamp partition, vista 32 and parallels. this is a huge time waster. All I tried to do was validate my parallels installation by purchasing a key, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perform following steps: 1. Open Boot Camp.pvs file from Documents/Parallels/Boot Camp holding Command key 2. go to hard disk 1 - advanced -click clear 3. This should allow you clear Parallels information from Boot Camp. 4. Make sure you can start Windows normally , restarting Mac 5. Delete Boot Camp folder and start Parallels Desktop, when you are back to Mac OS
