You have to download the latest version from the downloads page, located here: http://www.parallels.com/en/download/ Get the latest Parallels Desktop for Mac. If you bought a boxed version and you cant register the new one you might be able to get a new 3.0 key for free if you call or...

Ahh, sweet. Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I just reformatted it.. lol.. oh well! You guys should create a Wiki of problems people are having and appropriate fixes/workarounds. It would help out with small problems like mine that people cant easily find using a text search...

I own Parallels (2 and 3). I have a Santa Rosa MacBook Pro, with Vista Ultimate installed via BootCamp. I installed the latest Parallels but I find it is slow when using Vista + Bootcamp (yes I had it setup correctly and had the latest Parallels tools, etc). For some reason disk access is...

"me too" Dear Parallels Team, I love you and support everything that you are doing. Keep up the good work. In the mean time, I would also like to include myself in the "me too" category for Parallels Tools for Linux. I love windows coherence mode and I've been using Parallels since the...

The trick is to tell them that you are reinstalling it on the same PC and it wont reactivate. If you tell them its for a virtual machine depending on who you talk to they will deny you a new key.

I have a black MacBook and I updated my firmware. No problems here either!

I am constantly adding/removing usb devices and CDs from the VM and OS X. Each time I want to switch a CD or USB device from Windows to OS X, I have to exit full screen, go to the menu, and release the CD drive or USB device. It would be nice to have something similar to VMWare where moving...

This is easily achieved using VirtueDesktops. Set your VM to be on one desktop full screen and use OS X in another desktop. All the transitions are available, as well.

Nice article. Hopefully others will read it and see how useful parallels can be. I am also a .NET developer and run most of the tools you do. Thankfully I use C# and not VB and I run into no problems with VS2005. I also use the compact framework and all the mobile device emulators within...

Eh.. that big picture didn't turn out too well. Here's a small one:

speaking of which! I found a "flaw" sortof with Parallels this morning. I had Parallels full screen and hibernated my MacBook. I then went to work and hooked up my MacBook(still closed) to a 1600x1200 20" LCD monitor and woke it from sleep via USB. Check out this awesome screenshot! I...

Tell your 7 year old that Parallels does not yet have support for DirectX and that a beta version is due around the end of the year with initial support. For now, use BootCamp.

LynnQ, while I'm glad you found a solution to your problems, I have a better / easier way to resize your VM. The problem with everyone's VM is that although you are able to resize the VM's HDD file with the Image tool, you are not able to resize the partition inside of it to fit the new disk...

I tried extracting the new drivers but XP says the iSight drivers arent the right drivers for the device. :(

isight drivers released! Parallels team- could you take a look at the new bootcamp isight drivers and see how you could use it to get the isight to work? I tried attaching my Macbook's iSight through the USB panel and using the new Bootcamp iSight drivers but XP said the drivers weren't for...

I'm a graphics designer and programmer and I use parallels desktop everyday with Adobe Photoshop CS w/o any problems. With this new "beta" update they released a few days ago, things run even better and smoother. I've completely abandoned my pentium 4 2.8ghz desktop running XP pro for my 2.0ghz...

I will have to agree with these two. Graphics performance on simple things like drawing windows and just overall workflow has _dramatically_ increased. Its so much smoother now than yesterday. It is as if I got a computer upgrade or something. You devs at Parallels are some badass...

pleeeasee!!

oh btw.. here's a screenshot of "SeamlessRDP" running through rdesktop. This is essentially what I want to accomplish except to not use x11 windows and rdesktop. p.s. whoever thinks this is photoshopped is stupid.

How's this for a confusing screenshot!?? Like i took the time to photoshop something so weird...yea..right. I tried to "strip" the windows themes from the windows apps.. it worked in some instances except since i'm essentially taking screenshots of each window, if theres a window overlapping...
