Parallels Workstation 2.1 beta2 known issues Below is the list of most annoying known issues. * Mac OS X restarts when Parallels Workstation is left running and host revokes from “Sleep” mode. This is going to be fixed. To workaround the problem, just suspend or power off the VM before giving “Sleep” command the Mac OS X. * Parallels can’t read DVDs. * In beta2, it takes longer to boot guest. Will be fixed. * Guest tools installation process is not robust. Ideally, installation should start as soon as you press “VM->Install Parallels Tools…”. If it doesn’t happen – you should manually browse to My Computer, open the CD device and click the “PrlTools.exe” file. * CPU usage is rather high when VM is in idle/paused state. Definitely, it should be close to zero in this case. We’ll fix this problem. * Still there are kernel panics possible when using PW. We apologize to everyone experiencing this nasty behavior. Please, if come across any grey screens, send us the panic.log as well as some additional info as described at http://forum.parallels.com/thread294.html * Guest mouse responciveness may be far from ideal. Artefacts are possible on the screen when dragging windows/browsing menus. Being fixed now. The workaround found by the community is: - While in guest, enter the Display properties, find Settings tab. - Click Advanced button. - In the window opened, browse to "Troubleshoot" tab and move the slider one notch left. * Keyboard input problems: - "F8" button doesn't work. Use Fn+F8 combination instead. - "|" button doesn't work. And no workaround for now I’ll keep updating the list. Networking issues are not covered yet as well. |
