I installed XP media center edition through bootcamp. works flawlessy. then i set parallels to use my bootcamp partition to load windows. Now, everytime i try to start up parallels again, it keeps asking me for my admin password. it also asks for it right before parallels shuts down windows.

Prior to using my bootcamp partition, parallels never asked for my admin pw to start up. I want parallels to just start up when i open it and not always ask for my pw. Does anyone know a solution to this? Thanks in advace for your responses.

I want to also resolve this, have you found a solution?

At an operating system point of view, it seems like this password is required because parallels needs to mount and unmount the drive at various points for the virtual machine.

Dunno what the answer is, but it doesn't happen on mine, so I can say there must be a solution.
