Known Issues and Workarounds for Parallels Desktop with Leopard

Hello CaiusAérobus,

This article will help.

Best regards,

Thanks Xenos, I have solved this problem.
Let us go for th next one now: when I want to change the resolution of the VM, which runs a Windows 2000 Professionnal edition, I have 2 possible modes (640x480, the defaut, and 800x600, both in 16 colors mode!), it does not work (if I select 800x600, I finally get the default 640x480 mode). What is surprinsing is that if I go to the configuration settings, no resolution is listed! So I trid to register a 1024x768 resolution, as explained in the guide, but, returning to Windows, I still have the 2 same modes (640x480 and 800x600) and no more possibility to select the second one. So how t proceed? Should I toggle the "enable ActiveX" options in the configuratin tool? What else?

 

CaiusAérobus, please install Parallels Tools (Parallels Desktop menu - Actions - Install Parallels Tools).

Best regards,
Xenos

 

Thank a lot Xenos, I did not know these additionnal tools had to be installed. It is perfect now!

 

Internet Connection

I've got my VM set to network-share, but when I open it [vista], it doesn't register a network. What do i need to do to get it to register a connection?
