Mac Parallels

Can anybody advise me on how to sort my problem with Parallels on the MAC? I've loaded Windows XP on and used it fine for the last few weeks. Sadly it crashed last night. I did get it up and running again but I'm trying to run it this evening and after it's gone through the Memory to the USB controller configuration it just says stopped at the top under Microsoft Windows XP. Am I going to have to re-install Parallels and XP or is there a ways to sort this. If it's any coincidence the shortcut is missing off my desktop in MAC OSX as well. MAX OSX seems to be working fine.

Thanks,

Susan

    i'm no expert with macs, but my guess is that you will have to reinstall Parallels. you may get away with not reloading xp as it has probably got a file containg the XP virtual hard drive somewhere separate from the parallels installation

    Your Mac is trying to tell you something. :)

    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
    you'd now be better off living in one.

    hmm.. could be an issue along the lines of the drivers that windows needs ain't installed right...

    i'd try installing win xp again, see if that makes any difference...

    but i do agree with Leopard... why oh why oh why... ;)
