    How do I know when it is appropriate to use the Compressor function in Paralllels Desktop for the Mac. (I am relatively new to the Mac OS.) I realize that every time I run Windows XP, I will be expanding the size of a virtual disk. How do I determine when it has become "bloated" in size and can be effectively reduced.

    for a start always save your work in the shared folders

    do the standard windows maintance on the VM exactly as if a PC

    I use the P DT>> Menu >> Devices >> Shared >> Add to make make Mamcintosh HD one big shared folder also any external HD

    and users >> you >> desktop
    in the Mac HD file system
