[QUOTE="rolanddes, post: 1383948, member: 209365"] Hello again. Since my bootcamp windows installation was old and face it windows installations does not get any younger as days go. So I backed up my save games and removed Bootcamp partition. Merged the free disk space back to Macinstosh HD again. Then I uninstalled Parallels. Completely cleaned everything. Then installed Paralles and started an installation of Windows 7 from inside Parallels. Now I have a virtual Windows 7 which does work in Coherence mode without any problem thanks to you. But now I realize that 1- I cannot boot into Windows installation when booting the computer up. 2- And device manager in windows does not show that fast AMD graphics card which MBP does have. So I probably will not be able to play resource demanding software from in Parallels. So which one would be a faster and stronger Windows 7 computer? Running a Parallels w7 installation under Mac OS X or running a bootcamped w7 installation under Mac OS X? [/QUOTE]
