    I have a boot camp partition running Windows XP. I try to create a virtual machine, but when I get to the end and click finish nothing happens at all.

    I need additional information like
    * an XML file with a copy of system profile: Applications --> Utilities --> System Profiler --> File --> Save as
    * Guest OS full version with SP included (if they are);
    * a copy of /home/<username>/Documents/Parallels/<VM name>/<GuestVM>.pvs
    * Archive of /Library/Parallels/bugreports/ (right click on folder --> Create Archive)
    or ~/Library/Parallels/bugreports/

    * /Library/Logs/panic.log
    or ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Parallels.crash.log from the Mac side;

    Please provide this information in private message

    Please not information requested can contain personal information and you probably prefer not to provide it here but create ticket in support

    I got it to work

    Not sure I remember what, but i backtracked a couple of steps and unclicked something, went forward and it worked. I'll try to figure out what it was that I did and post a response.
