    I just migrated Win XP via Parallels Transporter from my PC. When I try and start the XP VM I get the message "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer." PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. Any Ideas?

    May be you can provide some screenshot or error code?
    Also, during migration you asked CD, and you probably put one which has different service pack level as installed on PC (for example on PC SP2 on Windows XP disk SP2 or no SP)
    You need to provide the same level SP

    Not sure how to insert/attach screenshot to this reply. Also, I used the express migration method in Transporter. I didn't see any request for a CD.

    John, I am able to login in safe mode. Are there particular drivers I should be looking for?

    While I was posting my reply the "Found New Hardware Wizard" came up. Should I run the wizard?

    It looks like it's looking for software for "Other PCI Bridge Device"

    Its trying to install it, it is normal,
    The problem is that some proprietary hardware drivers are installed and causing BSOD, I cannot say exactly because I cannot see Device manager.
    The easiest way is to perform Windows repair as described inhttp://kb.parallels.com/en/5138
    But please note you need to use the same Service pack level as installed in VM, e.g. you can slipstream Service Pack as described in http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/winxp-sp2-bootcd.html

    John, When I went into device manager it showed issues with the graphics drivers. After looking through a few posts in the installation and config forums I decided to install Parallels Tools. Did so while in safe mode, restarted vm, activated winXP and all seems to be working well.

    Thanks for the help!!
