How do you "end task" in Windows when the usual hot keys won't work in Parallels ? TIA nw

I am unable to switch between Guest OS printer & Mac Os printer (which is the same printer) without errors UNLESS I shut down my Guest OS first. It is annoying & time consuming and I must be doing something wrong to have to do this ? All my other switching endeavours work seamlessly (much tomy...

Have just realized (seeing my signature) that my Mac OS has automatically upgraded to 10.4.10 so that explains perhaps why I suddenly had no mouse or printer but I"d stil like to know why I was downloading Parallels V 2.5 ?

Printer,thumb drive not working again/mouse not visible in VM I too am incredibly frusrtated as I had spent HOURS sorting through workarounds to get both working . THen for no apparent reason I could not get the printer or thumb drive to work and the mouse periodically gets "left behind" on...

Andrew what exactly do you need to know other than what is in my signature ? Sorry I just don't know what to tell you so please be more specific. I have only installed 3 applications on my VM. Hoe do I know if tools is intalled ? My supplier installed Parallels & then I installed XP. It is...

Would it fix my problems or just create more ? This d/l V 2.5 3214 Build 3214 supposedly fixes USB compatibility problems with MAC 10.4.10. At the moment I can't even MOVE as the mouse freezes or is not visible. I am nervous about undoing HOURS or frustrating work to even get the printer...

My mouse freezes every time i open windows or it is not even visible. It works fine of the mac . I have force quit XP about 4 times in the last half hour (from the Mac side) and I'm getting nowhere. I urgently need to use certain apps. Just wish I'd bought a PC afterall. The mouse had been...

how to reduce XP 's exposure to the internet I don't use my windows to go on the internet except the windows update. I do not have eye candy in my windows session. And I have disabled all the things that I don't use in windows. But then I use the windows session when I have too, the rest I do...

me too- can't agree more

Intego Barrier x 4 Dual Protection I have just changed from years on Norton's to Intego Internet Security Barrier x 4 as it offers Dual Protection. Apple told me that because it is installed on the Mac and I'm using Parallels, that my vm will automatically be updated. I had to uncheck a...

Barrier x4 Dual Protection sharing connection ? I have always used Symmantec Nortons Antivirus on the Mac & have thought it was fabulous-no issues at all-ever. However, I did some research and this Barrier X4 read well so I have installed that as it protects both systems simultaneously. It...

thanks so much darkone.I would love to try it right now but simply must get to bed . I presume it must be going to work so I am actually very relieved. I've covered a lot of ground today so must surely be almost ready to start using my recently installed windows apps. a lot of work lies ahead...

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][FONT="Arial"]Numeric keys (far right on Mac keyboard) don't work in windows applications whether or not Caps lock is on or off. PC support referred to the "Nums Lock " being on or hitting the number 7 twice. I tried it in two apps without success. I could only use the...

printer not working in vm dkp I have sorted almost all my problems now including some not mentioned here too- so that is the good news .however the printer is still not being recognized by the vm. 1) printer is selected in mac systems in the shared folder 2) error msg when trying to...

Phew...thanks darkone at least I am back to "normal" again. So what is the best way to deal with windows freezing? BTW I "just" had enough time to seaerch the internet & found the hot keys CTRL+ALT+DELETE when you guessed it, windows crashed AGAIN . I had only saved the text from the net (a few...

dkp- thanks for that - it will make it quicker adn less "fiddly". You did mention that before but I'm only just starting to get my head around it all. I have not made any further progress with the printer though I am on the point of re-installing it.However I am reluctant to do that as at least...

thanks so much for responding darkone as I'm stuck. I have been working in an application and when I tried to hit submit within that app windows just froze. I can see the green start key , bottom right but i don't know the windows hot keys like Apple's to Force Quit. So I just quit Parallels...
