    Running PD for 3.0 Mac - When installing Vista Business upgrade over WinXP pro I get the following compatability message:

    This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed onto a computer that supports ACPI. Contact your computer manufacturer for a BIOS update or install Windows on an ACPI-compliant computer.
    The compatibility report will be saved to the current Windows desktop.

    Any ideas?

    Note: This worked fine in PD for Mac 2.x.

    Did you follow the Parallels instructions and do a "Prepare Windows Vista Upgrade"?
