I found this on the Autocad forums.It seems to work while in Autocad.

3GB switch and AutoCAD®

I am wondering what it is doing to Parallels in the back ground and if I will wish I had not done this later.

Is there a better way to accomplish the same thing?

If you're using XP and use the boot.ini 'hack', it probably won't do a thing to Parallels, since Parallels changes the boot.ini for itself before it boots.

But you can always open boot.ini in notepad under Parallels and check it.

Thanks,

I get the impression that windows boots up after parallels and the boot.ini affects how windows is working inside parallels.

I was not aware that parallels had its own boot.ini.

it apparently was changed when I changed it in windows.
