I'm running windows vista on Parallels on my Mac OS. I've had a view minor problems. I'm also running norton anti virus. Yesterday, the norton program wanted to perform an update. it did, except for step 3 of 3, which it seems to be stuck on. Now, I get a window in parallels that shows "configuring step 3 of 3...0 %" on a windows vista startup page, for a minute, then it goes to "shutting down", windows restarts, and it goes back to the "configuring step 3 of 3.....0 %" page. It keeps repeating this cycle, even if I stop and then restart the virtual machine, and / or the MAc computer. It keeps coming back to this page and cycle. Also, I tried putting in the windows vista disc, which the Mac see's, but parallets will not re-boot from it. It can not get out of that cycle. Any thoughts from anyone?
Hello Joplin333, This seems to be either Norton or Vista issue. Did you try to ask their tech support? Best regards, Xenos
