Try Modality (in the menu select "View" > "Enter Modality"). You then may also want to adjust the settings for Modality (to make the window not transparent and/or not display on top of other windows when in the background) by going to the VM configuration (either by clicking the gear in the...

I've found several bugs when using VMs in full screen mode with Parallels Desktop 8 (build 18100): If the VM list window is closed while a VM is in Mac OS X full screen mode then sometimes the menu bar will no longer appear when moving the mouse to the top of the screen after releasing...

While the Windows XP virtual machine is open but not running, go to the menu bar and select "Virtual Machine" > "Configure...", select "Hardware" from the top of the configuration window that appears, and then select "Boot Order" from the list on the left side of the window. There will be a...

Anyone who is still having trouble with this, try setting boot flags to devices.audio.playback.host_latency = 100

I've just found that this is actually not a problem with MIDI files specifically, but rather with playing audio at a sampling rate that the speakers do not support. Windows XP has system sounds that have an audio sampling rate of 22050 Hz and they do not play correctly if played as a system...

With Parallels Desktop 7 (build 15050) I am having problems with MIDI audio output in Windows XP when the sound output is the Thunderbolt display speakers. Whenever Parallels outputs MIDI audio from Windows XP, all of the sound output from the Thunderbolt display speakers becomes distorted...

If you don't want the dock or menu to show up in Mac OS X full screen then you need to turn on active screen corners and then set the screen corners to not have any associated action. (From the menu select "Virtual Machine" > "Configure...". Then select "Options" from the toolbar and then...

I found the problem. It has to do with Parallels incorrectly reading the last entry of RecordName from Directory Service when it should be reading the first entry. RecordName will contain multiple entries if logged into MobileMe. To see what I am talking about go to the Terminal and type...

I had the same problem but managed to fix it. Uninstalling Parallels Desktop and reinstalling did not help, deleting the preferences for Parallels Desktop did not help, and adding new virtual machines did not help. Since I was running out of ideas I tried using Parallels Mobile with a new user...

Thanks Elric. I find it odd that this feature was removed from the GUI without anything to replace it. Maybe the original plan was to add the host adapter settings directly into the Parallels Desktop GUI (eliminating the need for showing an adapter in System Preferences)? The host adapters...

The option for displaying network adapters for shared and host-only networking in System Preferences seems to be missing from Parallels Desktop 6. Is there some other way to set the host's network settings for Parallels Desktop 6's virtual networks?

I have had a similar problem (no sound but the driver was installed) and it turned out that for some reason Parallels had set the VM settings for the sound device set so that the sound device would not be connected. Try going to Sound Settings and make sure that the "Connected" checkbox is checked.

Crystal defaults to whatever settings you have for Coherence. Try setting the taskbar to hidden in Coherence and it should remain hidden when you switch to Crystal.

First check Virtual Machine Configuration > Video and make sure 3D acceleration is turned on. Also make sure you are using the most recent build of Parallels. And there is no need to delete your existing VM, if you are using the latest build and it doesn't work then John just wants you to try...

If you really hate the command-W shortcut closing the VM that much, just override it at the OSX level. If you go to System Preferences, select "Keyboard & Mouse", select the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab, and click the "+" button, you will be shown a dialog that can be used to override ANY Mac OS X...

Disabling mouse synchronization can be done from the VM configuration, while the VM isn't running. Just go to the "Virtual Machine" menu, select "Configure...", then select "Services" (under "Features") from the list on the left. You should see a checkbox that says "Automatically capture and...

I haven't had the chance to try this yet, but it seems that using Parallels Transporter to copy the VM might solve this problem: http://forum.parallels.com/showpost.php?p=130718&postcount=12

Seems that is probably why then, the VM with this issue has VM Additions installed and it won't uninstall. Anyone from Parallels want to help us with this?

When trying to upgrade a Parallels Desktop 3.0 VM in Parallels Desktop 4.0, the installation fails because the "VM Additions PS/2 Port Mouse" driver install fails with the error "Not enough storage is available to process this command.". There is 62.4 GB available on the virtual disk and over...

I believe the fix for that is to download the version of MacFUSE for Leopard from the MacFUSE site and install it.
