We run Windows Parallels virtual computer on our MAC OS X.
I continue to receive an error that we do not have enough memory. I cannot figure how to allocate more memory from my MAC side to the Windows side.
My MAC processor is 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
My Windows:
2.00GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM
Local Disk (C): 31.2 GB total size with 421 MB Free Space
DC Drive (D) 620 MB total size with 0 bytes Free Space
Network Drive (Y): 232 GB total size with 137 GB Free Space
.MAC on 'psf' (Z):Network Drive 232 GB total size with 137 GB Free Space
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

- Jul 28, 2020 In Parallels Desktop for Mac you can assign up to 8 GB of RAM to your virtual machine. In Pro Edition you can assign up to 128 GB of memory. Mar 14, 2011 I have to run Articulate on Windows - no mac version. My question - if I understand correctly, Parallels creates a virtual system within the Mac.
- I run parallels and mac and when I try to run Dreamweaver and Contribute it says it cannot launch and to make sure there is enough memory to run it. These are the only adobe products I have trouble with. So my question is how can I allocate enough memory so I can run dreamweaver and contribute simitanously? Please let me know.
Software Installation — 450 MB of available hard drive space for Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac installation (plus space to allocate to your virtual machine.) Virtual Machine Installation — Hard drive space allocation for virtual machines is dependent upon the guest operating system. 15 GB of available hard drive space is recommended per.
