    Hello, newbie here.
    I have an issue with Parallels 7, running Windows 7 on a 2.93 Ghz iMac i7 with 4GB RAM. When using Parallels the computer runs ridiculously slow. Everything is laggy, click, wait awhile, then something happens.
    Parallels also is set up on our little MacBook Air with Win 7. On the laptop everything runs snap-quick.
    So I guess my question is, is anyone else having speed issues like this? Is it a RAM issue or a HD speed problem? I've seen some posts about incomplete installs or re-installing Parallels Tools, but I wanted to toss out my plea before I try anything drastic.
