    I've tried to leave lot of space in my hd. Now I have 24GB of disk space.

    But if I run Parallel Virtual Machine on my Mac and I open I.E. it is not able to do that: the page gets blank with message of not enough space and no connection to internet. Obviously I'm able to go in Internet on my Mac side.

    Other software as MS Office runs without any troubles

    Regards

    No disk space

    Hi Bob,

    You may have the same problem that I have had. I am running Windows XP under Parallels, and I was running out of disk space. I have allocated 64GB for the Windows hard drive, and I notice that the PVM file on the Mac shows double that. Also, I have found multiple files with the *.sos file extension in a folder labeled as backup. There was a total of over 25GB, with one of the files at 15GB. I have not been able to find out where these files come from, but I arbitrarily deleted some of them, and I haven't noticed any thing wrong yet. I posted a question in this forum, but got no response. The User Manual does not mention these files. Anyway, you might start by searching for these sos files first.

    Bob
