What version of Parallels do you have?

Agreed, that looks like version 2.5.

That's the problem. You don't have the right version.

Yes, you need to download the latest version build 4128 - which is version 3.0. Build 3212 is V2.5 - not logical but there it is.

If you want to use this only for games, you might want to consider downloading and requesting a trial key before buying it. Actually if you want to run a game, you should consider using bootcamp alone.

However, if it is something other then a game, do the trial.

Hello awwcomeon
If you bought Parallels Desktop after 1st May, you can get free update to 3.0.
