First, I know it is not CC's responsibility to provide support for VSD running in Parallels 8 on my Mac Mini. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I attempt to run VSD I get the following error:

Being new to the Mac world and Parallels I am stumped. All other CC software works fine.

I have 8 Gig RAM in the Mini so there is plenty of RAM resources available.

Thanks again,

OK.. Fixed it. The program must have it's properties set to run as administrator otherwise a crash.

File in Memory Banks in case others need the tip.

Thanks, Steve!

Yes, I agree with your starter statement - "... it's not CC's problem"

Yet I also had the same issue, and only just started using Parallels because I wanted to use CC!! Couldn't find anything in MacWorld to compare :-D

Your tip worked spot on! I simply right clicked the program entry in the Start Menu and chose 'Run as Administrator' - brilliant!

Thanks again!
