Error occurred while trying to interact with Parallels driver! Parallels Desktop is either not installed or/and configured or has integrity problems, which prevent it from operating properly. Please reinstall the Parallels Desktop. Any ideas? Thanks

I saw your other post about auto-start. I suggest you create an AppleScript. Run the script on boot but in the script give like 1 minute delay then run Parallels. Have your VM loaded and set to auto-start on boot. That way you just run Parallels and it will load and run your VM. The script will give the delay.

Way tooo much time on my hands.....

(See attachments)

Here is an automator script that allows launch of either VM from the dock and I have assigned them icons for each.

Key to this working is that Parallels desktop is set to not load any VM on launch and the script will run for each, of course you could add these to your login items
