[QUOTE="Wobs, post: 527447, member: 41610"] I am a relative newbie, switched 9 months ago. Parallels ran well under Tiger on MacMini but needed 2Gb RAM to be slick. Upgraded to MacBook Pro with Leopard, installed 5160 but several observations; - Parallels hangs - Machine goes to sleep parallels does not wake up properly - its like owning a PC :Grimmace: - Pausing parallels takes time - Time Out message when mounting C drive That said, it works but it feels more flakey so I think Avanquest have some work to do. XP installs a dream using the Express Windows install but I increased the memory to 768Mb min, leave all the other settings. Under V3 you don't need Bonjour to get the printer running, it installs a generic HP Laserjet driver as the default printer and this seems to work well. Hope this helps.... [/QUOTE]
