Update on my Parallels problem

I saw that there was a Parallels update available, so I downloaded and installed it.

Now, when I try to start my Vista VM, I get the following message:

"Parallels Desktop failed to allocate the specified amount of memory.
Please restart Parallels Desktop and try again.
To avoid this problem in the future choose from the menu: Parallels Desktop > Preferences. On the Memory tab select the "Enable virtual memory preallocation" option."

I checked the option (it was unchecked), but still get the error. I suppose I should take this over to the Parallels folks?

Just to be "safe", I also just re-copied the Parallels folder (in \user\Library\Parallels) but no change.

To answer mikebore's question, I believe (but I'm not sure) that the VM was suspended when I did my SD copy. I'm going to double check--and see if I can open Parallels if I boot off my original hard drive.

Mike
