Parallels Beta 3094 Blue Screen of Death with screenshot Hi everyone, I screwed up. I was previously running beta 1 and trying to run Parallels with bootcamp. I have bootcamp running FAT32 so OSX can write to the Windows partition. Once I discovered beta 1 couldn't boot to FAT32 I uninstalled the Parallels tools and waited for beta 2. Walla! It was released shortly thereafter. I installed beta 2 and set up a vm for bootcamp. I launched Parallels and it went through what looked like the auto installation of Parallels tools... and then seemed to lock up. I stupidly shut down the VM. Evidently the tools installation hadn't finished. Now, when I launch the Parallels beta 2 VM I get a blue screen of death: http://atsosxdev.doit.wisc.edu/~dlav...llelsError.jpg Obviously since I can't boot into Windows via Parallels I can't install Parallels tools via the Parallels menu option. I can boot via bootcamp but there is no uninstall option for Parallels Tools. Is there a manual installer or uninstaller for Parallels Tools somewhere? I have tried reinstalling Windows and updating but that has not helped at all - I get the same behavior. If no one has any other suggestions, my only other option is going to be to reformat my FAT32 partition, and reinstall Windows from the ground up - not something I'm relishing. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! ~ Dan |

I had the same problem. If you follow the instructions on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082/ under "More Information" you should be able to resolve that. I'm now stuck with a different problem. See the attached image. It may have had something to do with the first successful boot with Parallels crashing when I ran out of hard drive space. I'd mess with it some more, but I'm pretty tired. |

I am a UK user and have not had any problems? Is this because I bought a download rather than a packaged copy? Robin |

OTOH: my digital pen (Logitech USB) is broken again :( Still, as a whole Parallels Desktop for Mac is a nice product. :) |

Support for dual core processors in Win-XP? Will Parallels support the Intel core duo in Win-XP the VM shows an HP T2500 which is a single processor not an Inted core duo, or will this be an upgrade later? Les Eakins Sat1Tech1@mac.com |

Hmm...with the latest beta version of Parallels, I still cannot use my Garmin Forerunner 205, but the behaviour is a bit different. Here is what happens: 1. I plug in my Garmin to my USB port on the MacBook Pro 2. I hear Windows system beep indicating a new USB hardware has been detected. 3. Windows asks to install USB device driver for this device. It finds the driver and installs it. 4. I cannot however use any of the Garmin programmes to detect the Forerunner 205. It doesn't detect the Forerunner. Not even after restarts etc. What gives? |

I just updated to the latest beta and it didn't go as smooth as others. Initially under XP it gave a message about updating the video driver. Upon reboot after the splash screen it just stayed blank. I was able to log in to Vista RC2 and everything went smooth. Safe mode under XP was fine, I noticed that when I captured control there were still two pointers the Windows one kept slowly moving down the screen. I ended up having to use the keyboard to navigate around. In the end I managed to get the video sorted under Win XP. The only remaining problem is: Windows finds a new USB controller but it fails to detect any drivers. Even if I try and do a manually driver install none of the generic ones work. Removing it in the device manager and re-installing causes the same result no driver found. I also noticed when I switched to coherence mode or shutting down the screen will briefly slide as if it was switching monitors & slide back again but I only have one monitor. The lack of finding a USB controller driver is the main bug I see so far. __________________ Rick Blythin - A+ Network+ |

Boot Camp Greyed Out Using Vista, never installed the tools for bootcamp - NTFS partition. I cannot select the bootcamp option when creating a new VM - I can create a new VM with no HD - then select bootcamp as my HD - it attempts to load - gets to the windows vista bar - and immediately stops booting. I can boot successfully with no issues in bootcamp. Mount return: /dev/disk0s2 on / (local, journaled) devfs on /dev (local) fdesc on /dev (union) <volfs> on /.vol automount -nsl [216] on /Network (automounted) automount -fstab [228] on /automount/Servers (automounted) automount -static [228] on /automount/static (automounted) /dev/disk0s3 on /Volumes/Untitled (local, read-only) Please help. |

Support for external displays gone in 3094?!? First let me apologize if this has already been addressed -- I searched the posts and did not see anything on this. Over the weekend I took the plunge and upgraded from 1970 to 3094 and have been pleased with the results. Sure Convergence it s bit slower, but it is way cool. Coming into the office this morning I notice I cannot get Parallels to display on my additional display. With 1970, I could run OSX on the display of my MBP and put WinXP on the external display -- a nice arrangement. But with 3094 I cannot get Parallels to go full screen on the external display and, in Coherence mode, I cannot drag a window into the external display. Otherwise, it works fine. Any ideas?

I have the same issue when using a second screen. Coherence and full screen mode doe not work at all on a the second monitor. Both work fine on the first monitor. By 'first' monitor I am refering to the monitor with the OS X menue bar. This worked very well for me in the previous release, and it is very essential! For what its worth, I am using a macbook core duo with a 19 " 1280x1024 screen connected via dvi. |

Crash when printing from Quickbooks Had a clean install of new 3094 build running an XP VM, but when I print from Quickbooks (to my USB HP 1200 Printer) I get a hard crash with a dump that throws me out of the VM all together. I just downgraded to 1970 since I need to print a few things from QB's, but thought someone should know about this bug. Running MacBook Pro Intel. |

Installing build 3094 Parallels Tools - the role of the CD drive I learned the hard way. To install Parallels Tools, 1) make sure the CD drive is enabled in your VM 2) make sure there's nothing in the physical drive. I don't think these requirements were documented -- didn't see them anyway. |

Damn... just damn. Every version is a significant improvement, not just minor tweaks and bug fixes. Amazing work guys. Parallels is daily use tool for me and you are constantly making the process of having to deal with Windows as less painful process. |

Cannot upgrade from 1970 to 3094 Has anyone else experienced this? I initially upgraded from 1970 to 3094 and it seem to go well but when I tried to install the new parallel tools the install failed. When I re-attempted the install it seemed to go well but then I tried to boot up my WIN XP PRO OS it went through the boot and the main XP logo page appeared the window resized as it did in the past and I could hear the XP audio logo but it failed to continue on to the blue Welcome page. It just hung and I was left with a black window. I can uninstall 3094 and reinstall 1970. I have done this several times over now but I can't seem to get build 3094 fully operational I can always back down to 1970 and continue to use WIN XP Pro. Anyone have a similar experience? Any suggestions how to reload build 3094? I'd like to run Cisco VPN client and USB2.0 which is why I am interested in Beta2 Running on a MacBook Pro with 2G RAM and 100G HD. Windows XP Pro SP2 with current patches. |

VM won't boot from Bootcamp partition. I upgraded to 3094 from 3036. When I had 3036 installed I was running XP SP2 in a bootcamp partition. I could successfully boot the bootcamp install of XP and run coheremce from a VM. I could also boot the native XP install from bootcamp. I removed the Bootcamp Tools as stated in the doc prior to running the vm. After upgrading Parallels to 3094 XP worked both in Bootcamp, or the VM booting bootcamp partition. I then upgraded boot camp partition to Vista Ultimate. Have some of the boot camp drivers loaded in Vista, but not all as I have not figured out what else I need installed or how to install. The result now is that the VM will not boot vista, it complains that BIOS is not right. Tried a repair. no dice. The system does still boot when booting bootcamp. But the VM will not. I guess next I will try to create a new VM for Vista using the bootcamp partition with a clean install. Which I was hoping to avoid as I had XP tweaked and configured perfectly with several apps. Anyone with ideas how to fix the bios problem? |

not recognizing bootcamp partition I had parallels 3094 running on the backup partition, and then I shut the vm down. Later, I plugged in a firewire HD with three partitions, and then tried to start up the vm again, and I got the error message "parallels cannot start the virtual machine from the Boot Camp partition because Boot Camp is not installed on your system" I ejected the hard discs, and started parallels again. this error message went away, and I was able to boot the vm again. I'm trying to see if there's something in the background (my backup program for instance) silently using the windows xp partition, but I haven't been able to find anything. |

USB behaving better in Parallels 3094 BETA2 Finally the problems I had ( since the first prerelease versions) communicating with my FTDI USB/RS232 adapter are almost solved with this 3094 BETA2 release. I hope this will go even better with the official release :) . |
