I just installed the new Parallels 5 on my Macbook Pro and every time I open Windows 7 the fans go screaming crazy. I installed Windows 7 Professional 32 bit version. Seems like not all posts pass censorship on the parallels forum and get posted when people have trouble or problems.:rolleyes:

When the computer is just running Apple OS the fans are nice and quiet but as soon as I run Youtube or Windows 7 via parallels the fans feel like they are going to have a heart attack and never stop till I exit Windows 7 or close the youtube video if a Youtube video is open.

The other question is I don't know how to setup Parallels Image tools to where I can assign a certain percentage of space of my SSD for Windows 7 and allocate a certain amount of RAM for my Windows 7 as well. Can anyone help please?
