After upgrade Windows XP virtual machine fails to boot with BSOD

Parallels 3.0 to 5.0 upgrade with existing XP Pro

Cannot finish activation; step 3 of Parallels Tools hangs, with WinXP message that "Windows XP needs to be activated" but when I try it fails at the 'next' button, no response at all. Support (Chat & Email) have not got a fix, so far; but I live in hope!
Seems to me that getting this software working is a big problem; the Apple agent in Brisbane charged me 100 bucks for fixing my first installation (V 3.0), saying it took over 3 hours! What chance of me getting it going?
 
Dear Sirs,

after the upgrade to Parallels 5 I have a lot of problems.

I have a MAC Snow Leopard host with 2 running VMs, WIN XP SP3 and WIN 7.

After the upgrade the WIN 7 VM is not starting and the WIN XP SP3 starts under the name WIN7 experimental. Something is going wrong.

I will send you some screenshots to explain, what happens.



The top VM is working, but it is not WIN7, it is WIN XP SP3!!!

If I start the lower, the following screens appear:



If I look in the configuration for the VM , the following HDD appears:



The size of the hdd is 0 GB, but when I open the pvm, it shows me the following hdds:



but I can not choose any during the configuration procedure!!

For to compare here is the content of the working VM WIN XP SP3:



Please give me advice to use the VM WIN 7!!

PS: How can I insert the pictures?
