    hi,

    first of all - this software is awesome! i used virtual pc but you can't even compare it to this one.... thanks for doing such a great job!

    however, i just installed the final relase (from rc2) - now i always get an error message, when i start my virtual machine,

    1. problem with nework adapter is detected. please check if network cable is connected to the physical network adapter attached to the virtual machine.

    2. parallels desktop is unable to attach to the network adapter en2: host-only adapter. please check your virtual machine's configuration and try to select another network adapter, otherwise you will not be able to work with network connections inside your virtual machine...

    i guess this "en2: Host-only Adapter" changed somehow since the latest beta/rc version.

    even when i create a new virtual machine, the same problem appears, even before i install my windows...

    please help - i can't use this software with my host-only thing....

    thanks so much!

    Did you try to uninstall, before re-installing? I had to do this with RC2. I am running the final release version, in host-only mode, and it works.

    Reboot Mac OS X after installation of GA should help in such situation.
