[QUOTE="JohnJohn, post: 546424, member: 35834"] A minor snag has popped up. I logged into the Boot Camp partition today via Parallels. It said my copy of Vista was not genuine. I entered my key but it said the key was no good(pretty much) I shut down. Then shut down OSX. Booted up using "alt" key Also said copy of Vista was not genuine Entered key Activation complete, it took it fine ran Windows Update, and some other tasks shut down restarted OSX started Parallels says copy is not genuine AGAIN! bummer So I thought it might be the fact that since I installed Parallels after my Boot Camp partition was already in place. I never entered a key for the partition into Parallels. I searched around the User Manual, but found no place to add the key. As I said in a previous post I have been using that partition for weeks now, activated it fine, no issues. On a side note that may help. When I click on the Parallels "Windows Vista" alias, it pops up a box on top of the Vista window, see image I attached to this post. This happens every time I run Parallels. Anyone help here? Thanks again everyone! [ATTACH=full]7447[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
