you cannot use vista aero via parallels. vista requires access to the graphics hardware, and when using parallels, it only gets access to a VM ( i think). to use aero, you need to install vista using boot camp.
from reading on these forums, i believe you can install another copy of vista via boot camp, however the installation used in boot camp and the installation used in parallels cannot be the same. its a vista limitation in the current version of parallels
You don't need to uninstall it. Just need to have not activated Vista on your Parallels partition yet.
What happens when I am on 0SX and I want to go over to vista with parallels and I have bootcamp on my system are you saying It will not work because I can't activate 2.
Parallels can run Windows from a Bootcamp partition, but Bootcamp cannot run Windows from a Parallels virtual harddrive file. So the solution is to install Windows in a Bootcamp partition and point Parallels at that.
It hasn't been said about the fact that Parallels has Bootcamp support.Oh so I can have bootcamp and parallels on my computer.I am new at this thanks.

sorry to revive an old thread, but is there anyway to do this AFTER you have activated?? i installed parallels the other day and im scared that if i start up the VM it will recognise it as different hardware and whatnot.
cheers
