INSTALL ERROR: Unable to allocate memory for monitor PE!

[Jeff DeMello]

SYSTEM: Brand new 17" MacBook Pro, 2GB, 160GB (1 hour old) ... first installation of any software was Parallels (installed fine).

Tried to install Windows XP ... OS Installation Assistant:

1) Express
2) Entered my Windows XP Home Edition Product Key, Name, Business
3) No extra options.

I get the error: Unable to allocate memory for monitor PE!

This is repeatable. HELP! What do I do now?

Thanks in advance,
