[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 396004, member: 24098"] You might consider setting up two different hardware profiles in Windows - call one "Parallels" and call the other "Bootcamp", then set Windows to prompt you to choose at startup. This will keep Plug and Play from constantly adding/removing hardware. I'm not sure how Microsoft handles product activation in that scenario, but we've used it with great success with our laptops that connect to docking stations at work (in cases where we wanted to turn off the wireless card, enable the on-board NIC, etc). Admittedly, that's a volume (corporate) license and activation is not necessary, but it might be something to try. [/QUOTE]
