    1) Installed Parallels Desktop
    2) Created VM
    3) Followed steps to "Installing Windows XP" found in the QUICK START GUIDE
    4) Inserted Windows XP disc into drive
    5) When I press "Power On" the screen goes black and my machine must be restarted.

    I've tried the following:

    Uninstalled and reinstalled Parallels
    Deleted VM and recreated VM

    All other software I've loaded onto my Mac works fine.

    I am running a Mac based Intel...I've had it for 3 days...

    running Mac OS X version 10.4.8
    running Parallels 1848.2

    Thanks for any help you can provide!!!!

    Update to the latest build (1970) of Parallels. Launch Parallels and check for updates (in the Help menu).
