I am running Windows XP in Parallels Desktop 4.0 Build 4.0.3846 and I loaded the drivers for my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer so I could print with the USB connection from the Devices Menu. I would like to be able to access the duplex capabilities of the printer and can't do that with the...

After posting two messages regarding problems shutting down Windows XP in Parallels 4.0.3810 (description of problem copied below), I noticed that I have two Parallels icons on my desktop just under the Macintosh HD icon when Parallels is running. I have a "[C] MS Windows XP" icon and an "[E]...

This is my second try at finding a solution to the following issue. I first posted on 2/24/09 and got 50 views and no answers. The problem persists. Almost every time I try to shut down Windows XP in Parallels 4.0.3810 I get a message referencing a problem with prl_cc.exe. Sometimes Windows...

Almost every time I try to shut down Windows XP in Parallels 4.0.3810 I get a message referencing a problem with prl_cc.exe. Sometimes Windows will shut down and sometimes it completely hangs forcing me to cold boot my iMac to get rid of it. Typically, I get a "End Program - prl_cc.exe" pop...

solved Thank you. I now have just one version of Parallels 4.0 up and running.

Regarding the two log on choices, I only want or need one way to get to Windows. Can I safely disable the second (parallels logo'd) choice?

I recently upgraded to 4.0 from 3.0 and am presented this window each time I go to open Parallels offering a choice of actions: Parallels Virtual Machines (MS logo) MS Windows XP Windows XP (Parallels logo) Microsoft Windows XP Windows XP...

Upgrade from Build 5600 to 5608 spinning disk When I try to launch Build 5608 which I downloaded from the Parallels website, I get the dreaded spinning disk. I just successfully downloaded Build 5600 after numerous spinning disk attempts using...

Since I installed a recent Parallels update, I have been having printer problems. Specifically, when I try to print using the "control P" command or if I pull down print from the File Menu, I get a message that I have no default printer selected even though one is selected. However, if I use the...

CD/DVD drive returned to use John, thanks - that fix worked. Now, I have another question. Why did that message capture my CD/DVD drive in the first place?

Stacy, I tried right clicking and selecting "eject" and nothing happens. Having this in my "D:" drive precludes me from loading any other CD/DVD.

I have Parallels Tools installed with Windows XP and all is well except I cannot get the message "Parallels Tools setup disk (D:)" ejected from my CD/DVD drive in Windows. I ran into this problem quite some time ago and got it resolved but I cannot remember how to eject this "disk". I've tried...

Thank you. That's all it took. But now I wonder what "connect to vmtools.iso" is used for?

I'm trying to load an antivirus upgrade disk in Parallels VM running Windows XP but I cannot get it to load in Windows. When I go to "My Computer" in Windows to check the status of my "D" drive, it shows "Parallel Tools startup disk (D:)". I cannot eject this "disk" since it does not exist...

I just installed the latest Beta version and it installed without a problem. However, I cannot get Windows XP to write to a CD even though it can see and open a file on a CD. When I insert the disk, Windows wants to use it and opens up a window to copy files but then won't allow it. Also...

I have an HP LaserJet 4000 that I have configured via Bonjour as a Generic/Postscript Printer in Parallels. It usually will print only one document before it seems to lose its connection although it will sometimes print several documents in a row without a problem. I am mostly using MS Works...

OK, I have probably missed something here, but why can I read CDs and DVDs but cannot write files to a CD using Windows XP within Parallels. I have a couple of Windows only programs (MS Works, PageMaker, and Quicken) that I have files I need to back up but I can't write to a CD. If there is no...

Locating the HELP button As I am new to the Mac World, I didn't know where to look either. I just stumbled upon it. Anyway, look on the top line of your Mac screen to the right of the little blue apple. Parallels should be in bold and then keep moving to the right and, voila, there you should...

problem resolved By accident, I stumbled upon the solution to my upgrade issue. The solution was to simply go to the HELP button, select "Activate Product", and type in the Activation Key. Parallels Desktop appears to be up and running properly.

I was using the last beta version on my 20" Intel iMac before the official launch and it was working relatively well (with the exception that it wouldn't recognize my USB printers which made the use of my essential Windows programs useless). Two days ago, I paid for and downloaded the release...
