    How are Parallels going to do about their "Known Issues" ?

    My most purpose to use Parallels (Windows) is to watch videos on the web especially on I.E.
    Because a lot of them are in format for Windows Media and never support Mac.
    While over a month, since I got Leopard , I've not done my purpose at all.

    How log am I be patient or should I choose another ?

    SafariStand holds a nice answer for you, not related to Parallels, but anyways...

    jed,

    Have you tried disabling experimental DirectX Shaders support under VM Configuration - Video?

    Check Microsoft website itself at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windowsmedia to download the free Flip4Mac extension to Safari and other Mac OS X browsers. It will play your WMV videos natively in Mac OS X. You certainly don't need Windows itself for that.

    Yes,I have. But Windows Media Player doesn't work on I.E. as your Known Issues.
    (But my Windows is XP)
    Independent WMP works well.

    I'm using Flip4Mac WMV Studio,too. But it can't play 'DRM'ed sources.
    To watch these medias completely, I'm using Windows.

    I am sorry.

    5582 works well.
    Windows Media Player on I.E problem was just my Windows matter.
    Today, I try on old-backup of vm's HD. It works.
    Windows update and
    Leopard and
    Parallels' network problem on Leopard confused me but clear now.

    I'm sorry again.
