Hello? Due to this bug I had to install BootCamp and finally completely averted from Mac OS because that OS-switching got too cumbersome. Is anything going to be done about the problem? Bye.

You may be right with the assumption that the mouse driver and Parallels Tools although I guess that the flickering occurs due to an already crashed Parallels application, which loses the mouse focus to the OS again. BTW, the bug is reliably reproducible. It occurs on every run of...

Hi, I've installed Adobe Creative Suite 2 recently. When I paste a vector graphic into Illustrator the program crashes Parallels completely. The cursor starts flickering, then the VM closes and Mac OS X displays the "unexpected termination" message. However, a Parallels zombie process remains...

xochi raised a question I was wondering about, too. It is quite logical that dynamic disks are slower than static ones due to all the administration overhead both in Parallels and the host OS when new space needs to be allocated. However, the rate in which allocations of new space happen will...

No one tested that? Really?

Hi All, when the german PC mag c't reviewed Parallels Desktop for Mac they mentioned a significant performance difference between static and expanding VM images in favor of static VM images. Is it correct that expanding images imply costs in terms of performance drops? Best regards, Shaun.

Yes, really. That's why I posted the above links to threads which discuss all of the four mentioned bugs. Bye, Shaun

There is no direct equivalent for a prnt screen key on the MacBook Pro keyboard. However, you can assign this key to a keyboard shortcut in Windows. There is a tool called remapkey.exe from Microsoft that will accomplish that. You may search this forum for it since similar issues have been...

Hi Mike, I'd rather claim Shared Folders responsible for the errors you get, not Cygwin. For me, Shared Folders did not work properly from day one. You'll find several threads that discuss these issues: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=2483&highlight=shared+folders...

You may take this grotesque one step further. Version 3 of Parallels for Mac is supposed to provide the ability to use a physical installation of the guest OS as a VM. This would allow for either booting directly into the guest OS without a running host OS or having the guest OS execute as a...

Yes, I experienced this, too. A workaround is to use Parallels together with Virtue Desktops. Create a second, otherwise unused desktop and bind Parallels to it. Switching to fullscreen will now leave all other desktops intact. Bye, Malte.

Did you try to uninstall old Parallels Tools before installing the new version?

Seems about time to hail the staff at Parallels. The new beta rocks! Shared Folders are significantly faster, as is the general workflow impression. But this is all dwarfed by the improvement in graphics performance. It is truly phenomenal. Window animations run smoothly now, visual effects in...

This thread hasn't received active attention for quite a while. Can anybody confirm that all three of the mentioned problems are resolved. I'm referring to a) the file corruption problem b) the case-sensitivity problem, and c) the file date problem. It seems that I finally have to switch...

THX so much for that. In my case I didn't event want tech support but had a question about a special purchase issue. No response for days. So I posted that here and asked if anyone knew a reliable way to contact Parallels sales team. A user already known to this thread advised me to just buy the...

You took the words from my keyboard. Entering "forum parallels" with google brings up this forum as the third hit.

Tgrogan is right, first prerequisite for either the Samba or Shared Folders solutions ist TCP/IP support for DOS. However, you do not necessarily need the Parallels virtual network driver. As in WinXP, a standard Realtek RTL8029 driver should work, too. Maybe you try one of the free compatible...

Well, cannot comment on SAS but we use SPSS, Statistica, R and MPlus at our department. Everything works fine and fast enough. A colleague installed Matlab and Lisrel without problems.

The announcement for Parallels Compressor states that performance gains are to be most likely when using that technology because access times for stored data are supposed to reduce. On the other hand, it seems logical to me that disk compression imposes costs in terms of administrative overhead...

Is that correct? Typing forum.parallels.com into any browser on any computer by anyone will bring up the forums - regardless of whether you're registered or not.
