Demo will not start

[Fatboy]

I am experiencing problems trying to run AGEOD Demos on a friend's Macbook Pro under Parallels.

I installed the AJE demo in a c:/Games directory under Parallels Windows 8.

The first time I start everything works OK.
The next time I try to start the demo I get to Loading Textures 66% & the game crashes out.

If I reinstall the game it will start once & then I get the same problem. I am running the game as an administrator.
I have tried running in XP compatibility mode but it doesn't make any difference.

Any ideas / suggestions?

You can remove the option to load all the map at start by setting TexAtStart = 0 in Settings\general.opt (beware you must edit the current option not add a new entry)
