It is an idea but at the present I can't get the parts here. Also, that would add an additional part needing configuration. I'm going to simplify it.

I'm giving up on the Parallels thing and have decided to configure the computer with Bootcamp. That way when I start the computer up it's a PC running XP and not a Mac. There's a guy here that will let me copy his XP disk.

By cutting out the emulator part (Mac emulating a PC through Parallels) it should work.

If not,,, I think I will stop caring.
