    Since I lack a Windows 7 installation disc, and the funds to purchase one, I decided to migrate my old laptop to my Mac using an external hardrive. It's worked so far, the VM and all of my old applications are on my mac. Yet every time I've run it so far, it starts configuring and then the following prompt shows up:

    "You need to log in to Windows to complete configuring your virtual machine.

    If autorun is disabled, you will also need to open My Computer and run the Setup.exe file located on the CD, ignoring any Windows notifications. For more information, visit Parallels website."

    And then I get a, say it with me, black screen.

    Well, not entirely black, it has the Copyright to Parallels and lists what's installed so far.

    But I don't get a prompt or anything asking me to login. I know the login info, except I don't know where to login to. The VM window doesn't have a prompt, and I have no idea where to go on my Mac to do it.

    Bump, still haven't figured it out.
