Ksenks, Thanks, I have moved on but am still stuck! Now the XP boots and it looks like it is gonna work, but rather than a full screen all I see is a 4 inch by 6 inch windows XP area surrounded by lots of black. I am able to navigate and start programs within this area, but three issues remain. First, though the apps boot within this area, I am unable to resize the XP windows area to a working practical size. Secondly, the wired mouse and keyboard both get semi-permanently stuck within this constrained area. After I control/alt I am able to free them to be able to click and navigate outside, but this had never happened within 3036. Also, within 3036 I was able to use the Apple wireless mouse and keybaord seamlessly, but now I cannot. Finally, My windows files are on an external hard drive attached via USB to the iMAC. I used to be able to access these within XP, but now XP within parallales does not see this drive. What are my steps to resolve these issues. Oh, and I did try to revert coherence mode, and the Parallels Desktop allows me to choose this, but I do not see coherence. Actually Ihave NEVER seen coherence yet even in 3036.

Sounds like Parallels Tools isn't installed. Select Actions | Install Parallels Tools. If that doesn't work you may want to uninstall any current installations of Parallels Tools then follow the steps above.
