[QUOTE="zup, post: 794125, member: 83717"] Hi there, I am a new Mac user. My mac is MBP 17", 2,5, 4GB of ram. I need AutoCad for my work. Installed Parallels with winxp and acad 2009 but had a lot of troubles with mouse and function keys. Instaled xp in bootcamp. Acad work great now (both mouse and function keys), BUT I dont like to have two systems and boot every time I need Acad or take a break and go to OSX... Ive read something that parallels or VMWare can run xp and applications from bootcamp XP, but I was unable to install VM from bootcamp even in VMWare even in Parallels. I would like to do this, so I can do something quick (print or view files in acad) but not boot. I assume I will have troubles with mouse again in VMW or Parallels, but it is just for quick jobs. And dont want to have two xp+two acad installed, one in bootcamp one in parallels. my bootcamp partition is ntfs formated. Thankyouforyourhelp Zup [/QUOTE]
