Hi, I am running Quickbooks 2008 in Desktop for Mac. My office is set up as a PC/Windows workgroup, with the company file on a specific computer on the network. All of the PC's share the file as multi user and it has been this way for a couple of years. When I try to open the company file in quickbooks, through the shared folder from the QB File computer (Mac location: network name and folder location added through Devices/Shared Folder/Add), I get the following error: "A device attached to the system is not functioning." I have disabled all firewalls, Windows and Mac and do not have any virus software running, temporarily. Please let me know if there is a solution. Thank you,
Do you have Parallels tools installed? if not please install them. Do you have internet working inside the VM? Have you selected file sharing in the configuration file of your vm? This knowledge base article may help you if you don"t: http://kb.parallels.com/en/122567
