I am confused. Page 172 of the user guide that was released with Build 3094 states: "To use Boot Camp Windows installation in a virtual machine you have to install Parallels Tools for Boot Camp on it. Parallels Tools and Parallels Tools for Boot Camp will not interfere with the system when you boot into it via Boot Camp. " So...should I remove the Parallels Tools that I installed on my BootCamp parition that I installed when running XP natively (back in the previous beta build)? Thanks! |

Great work, some answers, some tips, some commentary Quote:

That being said, to turn off Apps showing up in the Dock, go to the Appearance section in Parallels Desktop preferences and turn off the option to show applications in your Dock to not show them... Quote:
A couple of tips that have been mentioned here: • Be sure to turn off coherence before launching your VM for the 1st time after the update or your VM may seize when attempting the resolution switch. • Make sure you UNINSTALLED the Parallels tools for Bootcamp before starting the VM from the Bootcamp partition I have been amazed how well this beta has worked. I am having intermittent problems with who owns the Command-Tab (windows or the Mac) and therefore who gets to switch between programs, but that is pretty minor. Keep up the great work guys. Thank you! Now that you are adding USB 2.0 support to a free upgrade, it has become evident that what we will be shelling out money for when the next major upgrade comes will most probably be 3D support. Thank You! :cool: |

Bug: Use Boot Camp is greyed out 1) Booted into Boot Camp. 2) Uninstalled tools for Boot Camp. 3) Booted back into OS X. Installed the new version. 4) Tried to create a new virtual machine and "Use Boot Camp" is greyed out. :( These new features are nice: The video driver has 16MB of memory so you can run 32-bit on a 30" at native 2560 resolution. The option to turn on-off live action in the dock. |

The select all worked once, but now none of the command+keystrokes are working afer a restart. I did update the tools. Valerie running Parallels build 3036 data on an Intel Core 2 duo iMac virtual machine running Windows XP Pro, 924 RAM, 50GB hard drive |

Looks good so far. Was pretty shocked to see my Visual Studio icons in the OS X dock. Then I quickly turned that feature off. With 3 dev VMs open all the time, thats too many icons for my dock. And I'm depressed to see the Parallel's dock icons still all named the same thing. Oh well, the rest of the app is very solid. I might even try my TomTom under Windows with USB 2... |

Arrgghhh. Full screen mode is completely broken on multiple displays. I run without coherency (I have 3 VMs running). If I set a VM to full screen, it now ALWAYS grabs my primary display. In the past it would grab the display where the window lived when I pushed the full screen button. Now I can't get the VM on the display i want. |

Used to use Parallels on 2nd monitor, now it always grabs the primary display when we go to full screen. Definately a bug. |

One issue I keep having is this build keeps crashing on my constantly. The whole Parallels crashes. First time I got a KP after starting a VM with Coherence on before I installed the new tools. Fixed that. Next time was accessing the shared folders and Parallels just crashed with the normal OS X Close/Report/Reopen dialog. Then I did a Parallels Compress and again at the very end sometime (it takes a long time) in the night it crashed as I got back to my MacBookPro and it was crashed again. I never had any crashes with previous builds. I've completely uninstalled Parallels Tools. Restarted. Reinstalled the first time. |
