I have just upgraded to parallels 12 and my Windows XP VM is booting to a black screen. I have treed some of the suggestions in KB but cannot boot into safe mode. I also do not have the option to change the hypervisor in the CPU options as suggested by others. Please advise.
See solution in thread: https://forum.parallels.com/threads/windows-xp-partition-dont-open-in-parallels-desktop-12.337758/
Hi adamjamespage, please check out this article to fix the Black screen issue in Windows XP virtual machine.
Hello adamjamespage, please be informed that Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac Hotfix 1 (12.0.1-41296) was released and the issue has been addressed. Please update Parallels Desktop to the latest build http://kb.parallels.com/123948 Latest version always available here: www.parallels.com/directdownload/pd12 Please note that Parallels Tools also needs to be updated (Actions > Update Parallels Tools) and let us know how it works. Thanks!
