    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.

    [boot loader]
    timeout=30
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB" /3Gb /fastdetect
