According to the Parallels Manual, uninstalling parallels desktop is as easy as running the "Uninstall Parallels Desktop.app" that comes in the dmg file. Whenever I try to run it, however, it tells me I don't have Parallels Desktop installed... Yes, I do.. right where it put it, in...

Ok, I finally got rid of the apps in launchservices by: 1. Turning it off in the VM editor (still shows as on in parallels tools with no way to disable). 2. Removing the Windows Applications folder from my VM directory on my external drive. 3. Running the following command in terminal...

Ok, guys. I can NOT get smart select disabled in parallels tools in windows. I turned it off in vm edit. I started windows. I uninstalled the parallels tools. I reinstalled the parallels tools. It is *STILL* enabled with no way to disable it. AND I still have all the windows apps showing up...

I totally agree. You guys should know that Mac users are very picky about their systems. I admit, I was stupid and enabled smart select, not understanding what it would do. But the lack of a clean way to fix the issue is annoying. I've done the steps you've outlined, and the windows apps...

Ok, apparently this is smart select. I haven't played enough with the features in parallels 3.0. I disable this by editing the VM preferences in Edit, but parallels tools still shows this as enabled. Angry... i don't want windows apps known about in OS X. Really. EDIT: resolved...

Parallels now has associated file types on my mac with windows apps. I do not want that. I don't want to open xml files with IE7. I don't want my OS X to know about visual studio. Is there anyway to disable this?

Well, I'm using Parallels 3 5160 in Leopard with both spaces and time machine running and I've had no issues to date. Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.16 Ghz with 2 gigs of RAM.

Hmmm... one more annoyance now that rez switching is broken.. if I shutdown windows in full screen mode, it comes back at the full screen rez instead of the rez I was in before going full screen. And all the icons I carefully arranged before going full screen are now lined up to the left of the...

Hey, another Gaijin! I have a mac mini with a 24" Dell widescreen and see the same following issues: Yeah coherence is not usable and full screen is broken now. It's a hassle because used to be when you shutdown windows it would exit fullscreen mode to your "normal" resolution and then...

You guys might be tired of it, but I agree with Joem. Windows is supposed to act like windows... intercepting things and screwing around with other things and doing stuff that is not windows-like inside a windows vm is a sure way to get me to ask for a refund. He's not saying he knows best...

I can confirm that it also works as it is supposed to for me on my 24" Dell widescreen. It does indeed seem like a problem with 30" monitors (or more precisely, resolutions above 1920 x 1200).

Not sure which the issue is with in your case, but I can tell you I have RC2 running fine under Parallels build 1940. The parallels tools don't install completely, unless using xp compatibility mode, but then the network adapter doesn't finish installing.

Yes. It briefly opens on whatever desktop I'm on, then hops to desktop 2 (where I have it bound). Haven't seen any issues. Then again, you have the Radeon X1600 and I have the GMA 950. There may well be differences in how the drivers handle this "problem" which results in a crash for you and not...

Mine too. They made it very clear that is something in the future (and not in the immediate future). Interesting new dock items that indicate what type of OS is running! :)

Yes, as you and constant point out, the "security through obscurity" myth is just that, witnessed by the experience of linux users in particular. Sure, Windows has a much huger market share, but a secure OS is secure regardless. The unix based OSes have thus far proven to be more secure in...

Mark, I don't have a MBP. I'm running both Parallels build 1922 and Virtue Desktops 0.53 (build 220 or something like that) and I have Parallels bound to a particular desktop so I can run it full screen and I've had no issues. Sorry this isn't more helpful but at least on my system this...

I think you'll find without looking very hard at all that people in this forum are running parallels on their iMacs. You should probably post the specifics of your system (is it a core duo imac or a core 2 duo imac, for example), OS version, Parallels version, etc, if you'd like people to be...

Philwells, don't know if this is your issue, but even installing vista straight (not under parallels), people have noticed really sluggish behavior until it's done indexing your hard drive. I've read from a few people it takes up to several hours.

Have you given Vista enough time to finish indexing the hard drive?

I thought this was dead, but since you purport to know what I do and why I say what I do: I don't think one mistake on the part of parallels = company self-destruction. That's it. I say that as a person who advocates a little common sense every now and then. This is about the third time...
