I am new to parallels desktop and Mac OX10 but I need to increase the memory assigned to Windows. I understand to do this you go to configure. When configure opens the box is grayed out and there is a message "To be able to change the settings on this page, resume the virtual machine and then shut down" I must be dense but that sound like open Windows than close it then go to configure - That does not work nor any other variation I have tried and if you close Parrallels Desktop you can't configure it obviously - but I tried I have also tried various other options I have seen on the web including Press alt while opening Parrallels - Did not work Go the the Actions list in the bar at the top of the screen- What actions list? Its not on my machine or if it is I cannot find any reference to it whatever I press. Right click on configure - brings up the same result as above - using an apple mouse does not make a right click any easier either. Can someone please explain in simple English how to do it - I am getting very frustrated at this Any assistance would be gratefully accepted
