My "fault" I think, I had enabled access for assistive devices, which for some reason interferes with hot key switching...I am back up and running now! :-)

Yes, it has also screwed up virtue desktops (virtual desktop manager) again,...this happened with another beta at one point but they fixed it, now it's broken again. There is a debate ongoing about how the keyboard should be treated when you are in the VM's OS, and that debate has everything to...

I am having the same problem with a VM running Ubuntu linux but I have not looked very deeply for a solution yet. I will post something if I find it.

Neither can I, please post a link to VMware's OS X version, and if possible a list of supported devices.

Mouse Artifacts Anyone else getting strange mouse artifacts when dragging icons around?

You have to go to OS X preferences > universal access > and then make sure that "enable access for assistive devices" is disabled, not checked. Then it works.

Full Screen Mode (almost as good as beta 6) :-) Congrats on RC2, it has definitely improved in performance. I have just one question however. Why does the application I am using in my VM lose focus after I toggle into it via Virtue? When I return to my fullscreen VM the mouse and keyboard...

I don't think anyone wants integration with Virtue, in fact if you read my first post you can see I was kind of arguing against that path and more in favor of letting each application do what they are good at. Having said that, I would like Parallels to "play nice" with Virtue. This is exactly...

OK I'll relax now :) Thanks Andrew. iobe, it seems like the latest RC kind of detached itself from the low level OS X controls, like command tab, apple-h, etc... I am sure that restoring those controls would be an improvement, and I hope that's the plan anyway. cmd+tab, Apple-h, etc...

To a web developer this functionality is critical, something that I've already become hugely dependent upon since beta 5 or whenever it was implemented correctly. It save(d) me a TON of time testing CSS in different browser and platform combinations. Imagine 4 virtual desktops managed by...

I hate to say "I told you so"...but er... When all the fuss about integrating some of Virtue's desktop switching into Parallels' full screen mode was heating up, I tried to make the point that I think it was probably best to let Virtue handle that, and to let Parallels focus on what it's good...

I think the installer looks great, much cooler. There are still some fundamental aspects of the interface itself that are a little odd to me. I feel like it is really missing a usability overhaul. The placement of functions, the start-up feels disjointed. Anyhoo. I know there is a great OS X...

Awesome...what about making a backup? Which files need to be saved?

A VM that is booting in full screen mode takes "focus" as a Virtue desktop - that is to say, virtue will automatically "flip over" to the desktop which contains the booting machine approximately two or three times during the start up process. (I am not sure but these seems new to beta 6)...

Which files folders are needed in order to restore a full operational copy of a VM? Just the .PVS and .HDD files? Anything else? In addition to making backups, I would like to keep a sort of "base" install of Windows that I could use to quickly branch out different environments (for example...

With every new feature comes added issues, problems, things that need to be supported down the road. I think the functionality is very good as it is,...I hope Parallels can focus on fixing bugs and getting the VM working with the best possible performance level, and not building a window manager...

That was the trick. Wonder why the iso was automatically mounted in my XP VM. Well, got it now. Thanks!

You need to check out my thread! http://forum.parallels.com/thread805.html Basically, you need to add a sound card to your VM. Good luck.

I just installed a Win 2000 machine but have not been able to locate Parallel's tools for Win 2000....in my XP VM they are kind of mounted under My Computer by default. I really need better graphics support for my Win 2000 VM...as it is now it's only running 16 colors at 800 x 600 and can't...

or... Enable FTP on your host machine...then navigate with your browser in the VM to... ftp://your_username@your_network_ip/
