    My wife is having space problems with her Parallels 3.0. Windows XP shows its C: with 8,373,301,248 bytes used, 130,760,704 bytes free. She tries out a lot of RealArcade games which don't uninstall well, so we got space to work by manually deleting game folders.

    She is waiting to upgrade until after my disastrous upgrade experience.

    I ran the Parallels Image Tool to expand the size, it showed 128000 MB and wouldn't let me expand it further.


    So I went to my computer, and saw that I had a much smaller image (according to Parallels Image Tool). (Actually I have two images, I picked the one I converted from my old machine - which has more stuff in it than the one I use). So I opened this VM, and checked the size of my C: drive. It used 76.6GB of 111 GB. It's capacity is 120,031,477.760 bytes. So I have a much bigger Windows drive in a much smaller virtual machine.

    I did notice that my wife has a user on her computer that can log in as ASP.NET.

    Any suggestions on why our spaces are so different?
