Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3170 RC3 is available for download.

Numlock indicator

Since the newer Apple USB keyboards do not have a numlock light, I have requested many times to put a numlock indicator in the Parallels status bar.

 

The auto login functionality isn't Parallels... it's WINDOWS.

If you want to change Windows AutoAdminLogin do the follow:

In Windows
Select RUN.
Type REGEDIT and press enter.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

To ENABLE/DISABLE AutoAdminLogin modify AutoAdminLogin key.
1 = ENABLED / 0 = DISABLED

Notice DefaultUserName, DefaultPassword and DefaultDomainName (if applicable) keys.
Both of these can be modified if you want to login as a different Windows user, etc.

This is common Windows functionality. We shouldn't pollute Parallels forums with this non-sense.

 

Final Release Version?

I heard the final release will be out today? Is that true?

 

Well aparently, no new version today.....no at this moment.

I thought it was out because it was reported everywhere else. But I can't seem to find the download. Sigh...

 

All the reputable Mac sites like Macworld.

CNET News has the article too.

Oh well, guess we all have to be patience. Just wish the software could check for updates by itself.

 

I also read about it in an article on Digg, the article goes to AT

Download available here...

I just went to the download page on the main Parallels site and downloaded build 3186.

yep finally new version its available, downlaod very slow, ....server saturated by all downloads?

 

is there a mirror? the official download drops in at ~20K/s. i'd love to get it at, say, 400K/s or something.

 

I am running the final version now.....no problems so far!

 

lucky bas... - my downloads die after a couple of minutes at less than 20K/s. :/ tried Safari, tried Firefox, now trying curl in Terminal. Same thing, so I'd say this is connection/serverside.

 

Impossible to download!
BTW, does this version include Parallels Tools for Linux?

 

Can anyone who actually downloaded the new build plese post the md5sum of the dmg? I've been trying, but it keeps dying on me. I may have found a copy from a non-official source, and I want to make sure it's the same file.

 

The load exceeded server capacity - not unexpected given the level of anticipation built up for the release. No tools for Solaris or Linux.

The release includes Kapersky anti-virus for Windows which should demonstrate the Windows-centric energy in the company. Pardon my yawn...

 

Vista stop error - anyone know what this screenshot means?

Hey. Problems with Vista, anyone know what this error (see screenshot) is coming from?

SPECS: Build 3170 (3186 is taking WAY long to download and try), Macbook, newly installed VM with Vista. Only other software installed is Office 2007, Avast (Vista compatible version). No additional hardware attached.

SCENARIO: I shutdown Windows, Parallels goes into "pause" mode. I move it back into "continue" mode. It jumps to the screen with my name/icon... then in a few secs (without any action on my part), I get this blue screen and error.

 

I have the latest version and Windows now takes about five minutes instead of 20 seconds to load...

 

I'm downloading it at work - I'll have the file in another 18 mins.
I could do an md5sum and possibly host the file for a few hours.
