I told Parallels to check for upgrade (it should do this every 7 days). It found one. I installed it and started it. There was (and is) a Parallels icon with a question mark in it on my dock that doesn't appear to do anything when I open it.
I started Parallels from its folder within Applications. At first I guessed wrong and told it to load Microsoft Windows XP and it asked for my Win98 disk. My second try, Microsoft Windows XP 1 loaded Windows. (How do I safely delete the leftover from my first installation?).
Parallels told me I had the wrong tools, so I told it to download the new tools. Then Windows told me it found a driver. I closed windows and waited for Parallels to upgrade the tools. After a while it was apparent that this was getting me nowhere, so I opened Windows and told it to upgrade its driver (always). It found 3 parallels devices, I selected the one with XP in its name. I left for a while and when I came back the Windows VM was black. It still is black. When I close Parallels and reopen, I get a black window (and an icon next to the Parallels ? icon that shows the black window and a parallels icon.
What do I do next?
