    A client gave me a MacBook Pro to get a Win 7 Pro 32-bit virtual machine installed. They are using Parallels Desktop 3. I have the machine and Win 7 installed. Try to connect to the internet via AirPort and I can't. I looked to see if the Win 7 adaptors were enabled. There are no adaptors. How do I get adaptors installed for Win 7 once its installed as a virtual machine? Please help. First time using Parallels Desktop.

    Thank you

    Bill

    Are you sure it's version 3? Parallels is currently at version 9, Windows 7 has been supported since version 6 or 7. If this is indeed version 3, Parallels Tools are not compatible with Windows 7.

    I am sorry. It is version 6. I am trying to use the AirPort wireless of the MAC for my internet connection for the virtual machine.

    And Parallels Tools are installed?

    Use the network troubleshooting kb link in my signature.

    Thank you for the link. I ended up creating a new VM and installed Win7 adn the adapters and the Parallel Tools both installed. Works like a charm. Thank you for all of your help.
