You can't run Parallel jobs unless you have Datastage version installed on Unix. If its 7.5 and installed on Windows OS it will not work. If you want Parallel jobs to work on Windows OS you should look for 7.5x2 version which was desiged for running parallel job on windows environment.
Try and get Datastage 7.5 unix installable and install it on a unix virtual machine and access it from your base windows OS as client.

As noted, the only "pre-8" version of PX that will run jobs on Windows is the older one-off special 7.5x2 (yes, with an 'x') version. All other versions before 8 run only on UNIX.

It might also be that you do not own a legitimate licence.
