Anybody got a work round for Parallels continually asking you to re-activate
Vista Business when running on an iMac (OS Leopard, 2.4GHz, 4Gb RAM).

The Parallels user forums are at

http://community.parallels.com/forum/

Vista is seeing one or more hardware changes in the virtual machine. This
is the emulated hardware provided by Parallels, of course. Changes to
hardware id's at startup might cause something like this but I am just
speculating that something like that is going on. In any case, this is not
a VPC for Mac question.

Additional note: According to the Parallels 3.0 user manual this should
only be happening the first time you start up Windows under Coherence or the
first time you start Windows using the Boot Camp partition as a virtual
machine under Parallels. You don't say how you are using Parallels so I
have no advice. Log into the Parallels forums. This ng is specific for
Microsoft's virtualization product and not a general forum on virtualiztion
products from other vendors.
