    Parallels 4.0 Can't open files on Network Drive

    Hi, A program I use daily at work Peachtree Complete Accounting stores its data files on our network server. Under Parallels 3.0 I had no problem accessing the files and using them in Peachtree. However, now that I've upgraded to 4.0, the data files are visible in Windows Explorer, but the...

    Coherence Sometimes Will Not Display Windows - Only in Single Window

    I've read page 222 and there is nothing of use there, I'm not interested in changing the icon in the dock, I'm interested in making my windows appear in Coherence. What options should I change in the Configuration Editor? None of them have made a difference. I'm not running a high...

    Coherence Sometimes Will Not Display Windows - Only in Single Window

    My apologies if this has already been covered but I did a search and could not find a similar problem discussed. Occasionally, perhaps 30% of the time, upon boot of Parallels (5592) in Coherence mode, no XP windows are visible. It's as though Parallels is 'hidden'. When I switch to Single...

    Change Windows HD Icon?

    In Leopard running PD3 build 5592 on Macbook Pro. Can the icon of the '[C] Microsoft Windows XP' shared virtual drive be changed? It's pretty sweet that it appears at all on the OSX desktop but I have a very clean look and don't need this thing messing it up. I tried the 'get info'...

    Problem (bug?) printing to non-default Mac printer (5582)

    I too, await a speedy solution to this problem, I print checks from a special local printer from XP that I have kept stocked with checks for years. Having to 'deselect' this printer each time I print in Mac OS is a poor solution, as any time I might miss the 'deselect' I print over a valuable...

    VERY SLOW 3212/3214 VERY slow! NO SUPPORT!

    I as well have noticed a SERIOUS drop in performance when 'upgrading' to 3214. My machine screams through even heavy-duty non-intel apps like Photoshop CS2, but when Parallels is running, I can click on Firefox and it takes 10 seconds to even load. What is the deal??! Should I downgrade? OSX...

    Coherence Mode: Syncing Windows and OSX Backgrounds

    I upgraded to 3120 and still have the same problem. Anyone have any ideas? Is the video card in the Intel Core Duo 17" MBP different from the one in the Core Duo 2 17" MBP?

    Coherence on Apple Cinema Display 30"

    I was able to boot properly after installing 3106 and installing Tools in safe mode. I have not tried to run in coherence on the 30" again.

    Solution to the black screen at startup? (Build 3106)

    Booting in Safe Mode and installing Tools there, then restarting worked perfectly for me. Thanks! (I was able to boot in safe mode because after resetting XP in parallels, it automatically asked me if I wanted to boot in safe.)

    Coherence Mode: Syncing Windows and OSX Backgrounds

    This is a minor issue. Coherence and build 3106 works very well on my system (Macbook Pro 17" 2.16 with 2gb RAM). My question is if anyone has figured out how to sync the backgrounds exactly between XP and OSX so when dragging around XP applications, there is no discrepancy between the...

    Cannot use coherence view and 30 inch Cinema display

    I would not recommend running coherence on a 30" with a Macbook Pro, it caused all sorts of problems for me with build 3106. I had to reinstall parallels. I noted my struggle in an earlier post. I believe the culprit is the Macbook Pro video card, it can't handle both OS's at full resolution.

    Solution to the black screen at startup? (Build 3106)

    I've had the same problem. I'm also having trouble downgrading to 1970, because after I install 1970 it tells me my drivers are incompatible.

    Coherence on Apple Cinema Display 30"

    Yes, sorry forgot to mention that. As soon as it crashed I disconnected the 30" and am now using the display on the laptop only. Thanks, Steve

    Coherence on Apple Cinema Display 30"

    Don't do it!! It has totally disabled my Parallels. It ran fine on my Macbook Pro 17" for ages, then I decided to boot up Parallels on my 30" to do some quick Windows work, and it started fine, albeit in "OS Window" mode. I then switched to Coherence and the Start bar was displayed really...

    Xerox USB scanner Documate 510

    I have the Xerox 252 and have not been able to get it to work with parallels. It obviously has no Mac support whatsoever which is garbage. Anyone able to get this working? The beta version is fantastic by the way.

    USB Printing problem solved! (Generic solution?)

    Works great for me. I print to both a HP laserjet 1012 and a HP Photosmart 7960 via Bonjour now.

    Scanner crashes windows xp, and macbook pro

    I have the same problem with my Xerox 252, which is a real shame because it was my favorite piece of technology before I switched to Mac. Right now, it mounts fine and the "OT" for one-touch pops up fine (of course after telling me that it would be faster if it was usb 2.0). Then it starts the...

    New beta fails to start a virtual machine

    Downdating Sorry, not trying to sound stupid here, but in order to 'downdate', do I need to: 1. Uninstall the update. 2. Reinstall Parallels (old stable build) 3. Install Windows XP 4. Install all programs ??? Hopefully I can just make a copy of the .hdd file and save to desktop and...
