REVIT LT Crashing (and now won't open any projects)

I'm currently testing out REVIT LT but am having some major issues with it. My platform is non-typical but should be robust enough, here's what I'm using: Latest iMac with i7, 16B RAM, Parallels 8 and WIndows 7 64 bit. It will go from working seamlessly to suddenly restarting Windows. I'm attaching a journal file which will hopefully show the reason for the crash. The issue is likely some weird interaction between Parallels and REVIT, but that would be beyond me to interpret. Help!

Okay, so to partially answer my own question, I've narrowed this issue down to REVIT's use of DirectX 10, which is apparently still "experimental" with Parallels. Going back to DirectX 9 works, but is slooooow. Not sure where to go from here.

Yes, I'm aware of these requirements and thus running Windows 7 Pro. It just happens to be through Parallels.

I'm running Windows 7 Pro that just happens to be through an Intel server/workstation motherboard. No problems for me ever.

That's fine for you and I've used that setup for the past few years, but that's not my current situation. Does anyone else have insight into Revit or Revit LT via Parallels 8 and overcoming the DirectX limitations?
