Ok guys, just got home with my new 20" iMac and 17" iMac. Tried installing parallels on BOTH systems. When I go to start the VM I get the grey veil of death and my system tells me to hold fown the button to reboot.

Both systems fully updated. Checked for updaes to parallels etc etc.

I checked the parallels site and it appears they dont have a help forum (unless im missing something) and their FAQ is not helpful. Google yields little.

Thanks!!

Which version of Parallels are you using? If not 1922, then get it here: http://download.parallels.com/RC/Parallels-Desktop-1922-Mac.dmg

For some reason, some links at the Parallels site still link to the older versions, which will definitely crash a Core 2 Duo iMac.

Also, here is the Parallels forum: http://forum.parallels.com/forum53.html (also it's the first link you get if you Google "parallels forum" 🙂).

Any time. That version should work nicely for your iMac.

'Cause they're still in beta and are not release versions.
