    Latest Version - I can't get past the Disc Check screen

    I've had zero problems with Parallels since the first release. With the latest one, when WinXP starts up it goes through the disc check (scandisc) utility, finishes, and then goes no further. In other words, it won't go to the desktop. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry, it is for the upgrade. I hadn't checked carefully.

    XP Internet Connection on Mac OS

    This reply may not be particularly helpful. It's only to say that the principal reason I have had any interest in WinXP was to run Quicken since the Mac version is so unacceptable. Having said that, I did nothing special to install Quicken (2005, Premier) and have it connect to the Internet...

    Costco is selling WinXP SP2 home edition for $96. That's a very good price for anyone needing a copy.

    Some Disappointments with Parallels VM-XP

    I am running V.b5 on a 20" iMac with 1GB of RAM. Windows runs OK, considering.... However, if I keep XP running in the background, the OS X programs slow down considerably. This is especially the case with Rosetta programs such as Office 2004. It seems to make little difference whether XP...

    Blue Screen Blues

    I have been very happy with the latest version (4) of VM for WinXP on the Mac, with few problems. Today I installed VM Compactor, and at the point where it requires a restart, I get to the restarting WinXP logo screen for a few seconds and then a blue-screen-of-death crash. The system...

    Xp Activation worry

    I did this yesterday with a new copy of WinXP Home SP2. I first tried to activate the software using the internet connection (which was working fine). It didn't take. Then I called their 800 number and went through the routine without speaking to a live person. That didn't take either. I then...

    Suggestion for full screen mode. (eventually)

    Use Expose to switch between the two windows on the Mac. You can do this now and it's just as cool.

    Questions on CD/DVD drive, networked printer and USB

    Perhaps this has been covered before. I'm using your latest iteration on a 20" iMac: When starting VM, I get an error message that it can't load the default CD/DVD drive. I can go into control panel / administrative tools and get the drive to be recognized that way, but I have to do it every...

    NAV on XP VM

    I installed NAV and also Webroot Spy Sweeper with no problem. Live update on NAV worked fine. I don't know how necessary this protection is since I don't plan to go online very often with the VM. However, I already had the software so I just felt it wouldn't hurt.
