I loaded the Parallels Desktop and then Win XP without a hitch, but when I
went to install Messenge Live, the installation fails. I turned off the
antivirus and firewall, yet it still failed. Any insights out there? Thanks
in advance.

Since you are installing Windows software on a Windows machine (despite
the fact that it is only emulated inside Mac OS X), you might want to
repost your question in the Windows Live Messenger newsgroup. If people
can't help you over there, you might consider visiting the discussion
boards on the Parallels website to see if they can't help you any further.
