I bought Parallels 4.0 a few months ago, and have been trying to run Vista on my Mac OS X with it. My Mac is about 9 months old and runs perfect, and I just bought Vista at the same time as Parallels, so everything is new. However, when I try to run Windows alongside the Mac OS in compatibility mode or the like using parallels, everything slows down to about 1/100 of the previous pace. I cannot open a new tab in any application without me having to wait several minutes for it to unfreeze. If I click the start menu in Windows it'll suddenly show up 30 seconds later. I cannot run any program successfully under any operating system while running parallels, and I am very disappointed. I've basically given up on this product and chalked my $300+ spent as a waste. Is there anything I can do to improve performance to be "Lightning Fast" and "Easy to Use", as it says on the product's box? Any help is appreciated.
No help? Seriously? Who can I contact to help me resolve this? I don't really feel like wasting hundreds of dollars when I could've messed up one simple thing. Can I uninstall and reinstall? I tried to insert the Parallels Desktop 4.0 CD for Mac and now it just spits it out.
