[QUOTE="Hruzam, post: 847328, member: 98645"] I might have asked this question in the wrong forum, so I'll try it here. Basic setup: 24" iMac w/ Leopard and Win XP Pro running via Parallels. I don't have Apple support because I bought this used. I've loaded software (such as PhotoShop) on the Windows side before without problems. When I tried to update my Parallels, I discovered that the program I had was a pirated copy, so I bought a new copy. (I didn't find out that it was pirated until after I bought the iMac, and as soon as I found out, I purchased a full version of Parallels.) After loading that, my Windows side will not recognize anything I put in my DVD/CD drive. I can't play music CD, DVDs or anything on the WinXP platform. The DVD/CD does show up in my hardware list, but will not read anything I put into it. It works fine on the Mac side. I need to update my PhotoShop to 7.0, and add Visio to my Windows, but can't. Any suggestions on where I can go to for help? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
