I have just installed Parallels 6 on the above Macmini, I have tried to install Windows XP Home SP2 several times and at the point XP launches for the first time I get a blue screen error "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
I have spoken on-line to Parallels and they suggested some changes, none which have been effective, I would be grateful if anyone could advise as I am new to the Mac and I have never used Parallels before, I have added below their recommended changes.
1. Assigning the VM RAM in Configure/General within the recommended range – 1500 MB to 2000 MB.
2. Change the processor to 1.
3. Go to Options/ Optimization => Enable Adaptive Hypervisor, Tune Windows for Speed, Optimize performance for Faster Virtual Machine.
4. Go to Sharing => Disable Smart Mount.
5. Go to Hardware => Video => Assign Video RAM within 256 MB.
Best regards
Simon
