    okay really really dumb of me
    but the virtual machine is done using VMWARE Fusion and not parallels
    i dunno why i wrote parallels in T___T

    Stop the Virtual XP and drag the slider to more memory in the settings.

    Also if her mac only has 2gb of ram I wouldn't allocate more than 768 to xp or her mac will take a noticeable hit.
