- iMac, 24", Mac OS and Win XP w/ Parallels
Hey folks, I'm new here, and new to my iMac, so please be gentle.
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. After loading that, my Windows side will not recognize my DVD/CD drive. It shows 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?
