Access to Windows Programs

Moved from "How to"

Having just bought my new MacBookPro 17" I decided to try and use its full capabilities and had Boot Camp installed, followed by Parallels. I then loaded Windows Vista Ultimate, all fine so far......

I then proceeded to load Windows Office 2007 Ultimate onto my notebook whilst running on the Windows partition, (have loaded other stuff as well), but upon re-booting and starting my VM I cannot see any of the programs that I loaded. Can anyone please tell me how I can access all my programs whilst in VM. I've searched all over the support forums trying to find a solution without much success.

 

Hmm.... Was the Parallels pointing at the BootCamp partition? Or was it using a seperate .hdd file? If it was pointing at BC, have you tried using things as supported and installing VISTA on a .hdd file and then installing your programs?

 

Eru,

Many thanks for the quick response to my problem, to be honest with you I have no idea what the Parallels is pointing at, the installation of the 2 operating systems, boot camp and parallels was done by the local Apple tech representative. This is my first time with a Mac OS so pointers would be useful
