Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3106 Beta 3 is available for download. Hello everyone! Parallels Desktop for Mac Beta 3 is now available for download. Additional details and download information is available on this page: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/beta_testing/ PLEASE REMEMBER: this is a beta software, and like any other beta software you should treat it very carefully. Do not install this Beta 3 into the production environment yet. Do backup your virtual machines before trying them with Beta 3. This beta does not introduce any new functionality, but provides several very important fixes to the problems found in previous Betas: * Coherence now handles “round” windows like Windows Media Player or Winamp correctly. * Fullscreen and Coherence mode on secondary monitor fixed. * Guest pixel size calculation was fixed – applications like MS Access or MS PowerPoint should handle graphs correctly. * Guest Linux screen resolutions in 24 bit mode fixed. * Possiblity to switch off Command+ZXCV mapping or swap Control and Command keys introduced (the feature was requested by a number of beta-testers) * Several USB 2.0 fixes – more bulk devices to work since now. The work on web cameras and other isochronous devices is still in progress. * And many others… As usual, any feedback is extremely appreciated at beta@parallels.com mailbox. Best regards, Tim and the Parallels Team |

After downloading the new Beta with Safari, the DMG package will not mount. Downloading with Firefox worked fine. Thanks for the new Beta Parallels! |

I just upgrade to this new build but when I start Parallels, I get a message that I need to uninstall Paralles tools for boot camp. But each time I boot to my windows partition I am not able to use the keyboard on my macbook pro. Is there another way I can do this uninstall? or is there a way to repair this windows boot menu using a windows disk. thanks |

System Freeze First of all, gentlemen: Parallels is a great tool and you guys have done a great job updating it constantly and meeting your users' needs. I seem to have run into a problem with my version upon updating to this last beta (it actually started with the previous beta released a few weeks ago). I uninstalled BootCamp tools in XP (when booted into XP) and then rebooted into OS X and tried starting up the BootCamp disk in Parallels. It seems to work every other time. The times it doesn't work, the entire computer freezes up and I have to do a hard reset (hold down power button for 5 seconds) to get my computer back. It tends to happen when I have to restart the Parallels XP machine (installing software, etc.). A screen has come up a few times: Checking file system on c: The type of the file system is NTFS. One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue. To skip disk checking, press any key within 10 seconds(s). When this appears, the countdown stops at 7 or 6 or so and then the entire system freezes up. CTRL-ALT-DEL won't work and only the mouse pointer can move. Any thoughts on this? |

That was a fast fix, good work. Unfortunately for me, I still get 'Unable to open disk image Boot Camp' after 20 seconds of wait and the windows partition HD disappearing. :( |

Looks intresting. I love being a beta tester but -- As a new customer I have a boxed 1940 version of the application. I have recentally downloaded the 1970 version (but not this new beta apparently) and I want to know where i can find the 'version history' aka the features that are being constantly worked on and revamped. I can see several pages with 'new features' but this is all relative they could be from an earlier version or new to this specific beta... ect, can someone link me to a version history? thanks much |

Bootcamp and Macdrive support? Does this release fix the incompatibility of the Parallels Tools and Macdrive? This was an issue with Beta 2. My most expected feature is being able to use my Windows at Bootcamp using both Parallels and native Dual Boot, but the Parallels Tools brake Macdrive and when I boot natively at Windows I am unable to see my Mac partition through Macdrive. Anyone knows if Beta 3 addresses this issue? |
