    Parallels says it contains 'Boot Camp Support'. But the documentation is very vague at best.

    All I want to do is start up and run my Win XP Boot Camp install from Mac OS X using Parallels. Can someone tell me what the basic steps are (or possibly show me where to find the documentation)?

    I think I need to 'Create a Custom VM', then specify the RAM, then 'use existing hard disk image', but then what do I specify as the 'Configuration file'?

    Thanks!

    I'm downloading '3188' right now. Maybe it will be more straightforward with this update?

    Yes, and read the 3188 users manual Chapter 8.
