This is a community support (self-service) BBS. For support from the vendor you send your questions to support@parallels.com or call them. There are Parallels people who participate here but this is not an official support function.

These are beta, not production versions so you may have better luck and can also provide helpful feedback by explaining your situation here: http://forum.parallels.com/forumdisplay.php?f=75

A beta isn't the same thing as an update and certainly not necessarily a fix. And it's not supported, so if you opt to install it beware of the problems you may face.

Have you tried host-only networking? That allows the host and guest to talk to each other but the guest cannot see anything else on the network.

Lawstudent - use a finder session and explore your Mac HD under devices. Look for Previous Systems. This is where Leopard puts previous OS components and some of your home directory. Look around in there to see if any of your missing stuff is there. No guarantees - it all depends upon how you...

The big money is in Windows, not open source.

Parallels has clearly stated that a major number is from the series 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, etc. The minor numbers would replace the x. They have also said that you pay to upgrade between major numbers but you do not pay to update between minor numbers. The difference between update and upgrade being...

In your dreams. That feature is why I never use Parallels anymore. Well, that, and rewiring all my associations without asking. Sometimes you just have to know when to say enough. They've crossed my last line.

A build is a revision, not a version. Version 3.0, build 5160 isn't a different version than version 3.0, build 4160. dp

What does this mean? "I have also installed all of the most current parallels tools" Are you mixing and matching bits of different versions of parallels? There is just one Parallels tools version that is correct for a particular version of Parallels and that is the one that ships with the...

If you think you will ever return to 2.5 (3.0 is not free) you must make a backup of your shut down virtual machine(s). The 3.0 version will modify them in a way that makes going back impossible. If you think you will be upgrading your OS to Leopard when it's released then you should consider...

You may have to wait for VT-d. See Ben's blog link above and the "... join forces" story.

The release notes that come with 5160 don't mention a specific problem with the Mac Mini and I've not seen anyone reporting any problems here or around the internet.

Neither of those will defrag your disk. They do directory optimization. iDefrag does true defrag. You need to be able to boot from other than your normal boot disk to use it. Fragmentation in the Mac is an odd thing - many large files will escalate the problem as will a disk that is close to...

It is incomplete to defrag only from within Windows because the disk space that the VM exists in can also be fragged in the Mac OS file space. Windows has no way to know it is scattered all over the Mac's file space. It is certainly a waste of cpu to defrag Windows via any kind of automatic...

I think you are all going to be disappointed if you think the Windows CPU usage will produce an alike CPU usage in the Mac. Recall that the Mac is presenting virtualized hardware to Windows and that takes CPU time. Consider a trivial example where Windows sits quietly and polls the system...

Have you tried to rebuild a VM with only a clone? That is to say, create a clone then delete or move to a safe place the original, then try to recover using the clone. A clone, I think, is not at all the same thing as a full backup, but I can be educated.

ClamAV works fine in OS X, Windows, Linux, Solaris, OS/2, and others. It's free. It is now owned by SourceFire, the people who make the firewall sniffer product, Snort. The product is available as source or as installable packages. See http://ClamAV.net/ I've been using it for years in a...

Some wi-fi hotspots will provide you with only one IP so bridged networking won't work in those cases as each OS has to have its own IP.
