I upgraded Parallels 5 to the most recent version to see if it fixed any of the issues I was having with the initial release, and sadly realized after much troubleshooting that it was responsible for killing my MBP's internal keyboard, and on two other occasions all USB connectivity. I'd see...

I just ran across this issue as well and had to uninstall Parallels to get my keyboard back. Most of the keyboard was completely non-functional, even if Parallels itself wasn't running -- even at the OS X login screen. Interestingly, on my MBP this is *only* on the internal keyboard. Using an...

Same thing here - I tried uninstalling and rebooting but still had the same issue. Uninstaling and reinstalling without rebooting fixed the problem.

"parallel 5162" - I'm not seeing that build available for download. Didn't you mean 5160?

What exactly did you do from that Microsoft technote to fix the BSOD on boot from within Parallels? I read through that page but it wasn't clear to me what it was I needed to do to fix my issue. I can boot into Boot Camp fine - I had just set up a fresh partition and install. The first time I...

I took a look at that Microsoft technote but it really lost me. I'm having the same problem - I can boot into Boot Camp no problem, but the first time I tried booting into BC via Parallels, Parallels crashed. Now when I start it up I see two "Parallels configuration" listings in the boot...

One thing that has been driving me nuts with Parallels is that ever time I launched Internet Explorer (6 or 7) Parallels would break out of Coherence mode and switch into full screen. I've been trying to narrow down what was causing this issue when I finally realized it was due to an IE add-on I...

I'm seeing this too.

When you guys are using Coherence, does it still work when you run Internet Explorer? I've managed to get it working here but if I launch Internet Explorer the Windows desktop comes back. When I quit IE it disappears.

I see the start menu item in the Parallels dock icon, but it would be great to have this exposed in the main Parallels menu so you can assign a qucik key to it in OS X's keyboard preferences. That way instead of digging for the dock icon when you need the start menu you could just hit a quick...

It would be great to have access to a Start Menu trigger from one of the main menus -- the one in the Dock cannot have quick keys applied to it via the system Keyboard prefpane.

First of all, it's really great to see such progress with each release. Great work, folks! I'm having a problem with RC2 on my work network. Using the default network adapter (in this case Ethernet) I can't get an IP in my Windows XP virtual machine - I get a 169.x.x.x IP address. I'm...

Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't it a bit weird that the four buttons in the VM info window (New VM, Open, Edit, Save) don't actually do anything? Shouldn't these either be activated or removed if they don't actually do anything?

One related UI feature request is to remove the 1px white border that the VM window currently has. The VM window shouldn't have borders.

Just wondering if the Parallels developers could comment on this. One feature I'm really missing from Virtual PC is the ability to drag and drop files / folders from the Mac to the VM's window and vice versa. I know right now you can initiate file copies by networking between the VM and OS X...

I just went and created a brand new VM and everything is working now (sound, tools, etc.) - my VM was created back with beta1, so maybe there were some residual issues?

No, of course not. But I assumed that suspend should be faster as it's not bringing the entire VM down. Right now I'm just shutting down and restarting but it would be nice to be able to suspend the VM and come back to where I left off.

Same issue here with b3, except my error is -5009. The results are the same, though - I can't install the tools after repeated attempts and VM reboots.

I find that the suspend feature is so slow at saving down the current session that it's almost faster to shut down the VM and restart. Is there any way to speed up the VM suspend feature? Or are others seeing better suspend times than I?
