Hi there!

I've got 2 questions for you. What version of XP are you running? are you Runing XP with Service Pack 2?

Further, if you are. download "bootcamp" from apple. Create the Apple Extra's cd/dvd.

Try installing the apple extras into parallels. THis may unlock bluetooth/usb syncing application loading/os updating.

Further, if your really gutsy (i was burned badly) try installing XP sp2 with bootcamp. This will treat your entire computer like a native PC. loading your BB should/may work.

I use parallels too, and am trying to figure this out, however I am using XP home edition with out an SP, so i can't install the apple extra's cd to see if it will work.

best of luck, will keep you posted on progress.

(ps, sort of a shame all the BS we need to go through to get this to work)
