    Broken Virtual Machine List

    Now the virtual machine list has become so corrupt I've lost the right to launch any of my virtual machines. Indeed, I can't even remove them. I suspect I'll have to get my administrative scissors out. I'm looking forward to the next Parallels 7 update! :-) For the support guys, when I'm...

    Broken Virtual Machine List

    I'm running the latest Parallels 7 under Lion. I checked the knowledge base, but didn't find a reference to this problem there. Apologies if I missed it. My virtual machine list has lost most entry locations and replaced the various icons with question marks. These machines are unmoved and...

    Windows 8 preview

    Perhaps I'm being optimistic, but I was wondering if anyone's got the preview of Windows 8 running under Parallels?

    In Windows 7, the Coherence mode Task Bar bug reappears

    Windows 7 seems to be running happily EXCEPT the old bug where Coherence screws up the Windows task bar has reappeared. I've seen this bug in XP and Vista before now, so it's not a new problem. I'm running Parallels 4.0.3844 under OS X 10.5.8 on the first model of the 24" iMac. I've...

    Windows 7 RC 1 - TaskBar Missing

    That didn't fix the same problem for me.

    Windows 7 task bar problems

    I installed Windows 7 RC and everything seemed to go smoothly until Parallels destroyed the task bar following the reboot after installing Parallels tools. I unset the various default settings to tell Parallels not to remove this necessary display component, to no avail; the taskbar remains...

    Parallels Desktop and Windows Vista Service Pack 1

    What about Vista SP2? Any thoughts? I'm not sure I dare try it without a comment from Parallels.

    Problems with update ParallelsDesktop-4.0.3810.351321-Update2.1-en_US.tar.gz

    Similar behaviour I'm having the same problem with Update not doing anything. The first time it happened, I was indeed running Parallels Desktop, and had a VM running. Update had locked out Desktop, including the VM, so I couldn't shut it down cleanly. When I told my iMac to reboot...

    Hotfix 3810 breaks Sound Forge 9.0e

    I'm using Sound Forge 9.0e under XP in Parallels 3810. I don't have a problem starting the program and doing simple tasks; I use Sound Forge mainly to clean up voice recordings. I keep most of the fancy Parallels shared stuff, including Shared Profiles, turned off because I find it gets in the...

    Transporter fails attempting connection

    Suggestion I had the problem as reported, then read the advice to reboot after uninstalling the old version. That sorted it. I'd suggest that your installer should detect a previously incomplete uninstall, and either finish it, or reboot before continuing the fresh installation.

    USB device you are trying to connect to the VM is being used by another application

    I'm a bit surprised at Apple on this one Microsoft tend to test patches and give developers of applications which the patch breaks an opportunity to produce an update before a patch is generally released. I'm surprised that apparently Apple didn't do the same with 10.4.10. The fact that...

    Build 3212, Open BSD 4.1, USB problem

    Worked it out Ok, I've understood the problem. Fusion supports both USB 1.x and USB 2. When Fusion simulates USB 2, OpenBSD 4.1 outputs the same error as it does in Parallels. However, OpenBSD 4.1 behaves when Fusion simulates USB 1.1 only. It looks like OpenBSD wrongly interprets the USB 2...

    Build 3212, Open BSD 4.1, USB problem

    Under Fusion I just want to confirm Open BSD USB does work under the current release of Fusion, & I've rescued those CFs. I guess I'm going to be running both products for the time being.

    Build 3212, Open BSD 4.1, USB problem

    I've updated to build 3212. I've just successfully installed & patched Open BSD 4.1, but I'm having a USB problem. Specifically, the OpenBSD umass driver can see when my dedicated CF reader plus CF card is plugged in, but "Get Max Lun" fails. I know that Open BSD was supported in earlier...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3150 RC2 is available for download.

    Significantly Better This RC is significantly better than the last one. My USB drives are recognised, Vista runs for more than a few seconds, and Parallels is yet to drop out. I had the problem people have mentioned with the spurious failure of XP in Boot Camp to launch (lots of different...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3120 RC1 is available for download.

    IcyBox USB drive now unrecognised I've got an laptop hard-disk in an external IcyBox USB case. I've not had a problem with connecting it to Windows under the previous betas of Mac parallels. However, under RC1, Windows recognises the device is plugged in, but no drive letter appears, and...
