    HI Everyone

    I've recently moved from a macbook to an iMac and have bought the new parallels and just purchased Microsoft OFfice 2010 so that I can run Quickbooks 2012. The only problem is that when I open Parallels then load the MOffice CD into the iMac to install it, nothing happens! Can anyone help?

    Cheers!

    By the way, I have already checked the option: Devices - CD/DVD - and the Default CD/DVD is ticked and OFFICE CD appears in under Devices in Finder, but what do I now do for the whole thing to install itself?

    Did you try to 'pull' the CD/DVD drive into the VM? It's in the 'devices' menu where you also can find all USB sticks and other external devices. There you see 'CD/DVD'. If it is disconnected, try to connect it to the VM. If everything goes right, the drive should disappear from the Mac desktop and appear in the VM.
