John@Parallels, See the post "BSOD with Dec 2008 update" for an attachement of the BSOD

FYI: BSOD with 4.0.3810 In the previous version I had been running at: CPUs = 4 (out of 8) Memory = 4096 Video Memory = 256 In this configuration 4.0.3810 crashed with a BSOD every time. I then lowered the CPUs from 4 down to 1 Set the Memory at 1024 Set Video at 128 I was then...

BSOD with Build 3810 I upgraded to Build 3810 on my MacPro two bad things happen: 1. As Vista 64 starts I get a BSOD: Every time. I've rebooted several times, but always the BSOD 2. it says that Parallels tools needs to be installed: It was already installed before I upgraded. I need some...

I installed the new update and as Vista is coming up it goes to a BSOD: every time. Now what?

See: Can't expand hdd size (V4) thread. Note the response I got and my response to that.

I tried to post this and it didn't get posted so I'll try again. My video memory is set at 128MB. I'm using two ATI cards with one monitor attached to each card. Each card has 256MB of video memory. The reason I'm using two cards is that I wanted to use four monitors, but Parallels would not...

I started all over from scratch: created a new VM and loaded all the software. Work pretty well, but is very slow in screen redraw while in Window mode. If I had it all to do over again I probably would not: just stick with V3 until V4 was actually ready for the public. Great product - poor...

The old one "Windows Vista.pvm" or the new one "Windows Vista 1.pvm"? I tried the obvious "Windows Vista.pvm", but when it booted it said that the drive was invalid. Then I used the "Vista 1" version and I now have a new VM with no apps installed. Ok, that is certainly better than before even...

Build 4.0.3552 (trial) The only .hdd file on the machine is in MacMirror/WindowsXP VM Backup/My Boot Camp (backup). I made this from an old Windows XP VM

My Home/Documents/Parallels folder is empty ?!

I started a Snapshot and 4 hrs later it is still running. I can't shut Parallels down: I can't do anything. I force-quited it, but when I start Parallels again it is still in the Snapshot mode. How can I get my VM back? :-( This was my first Snapshot. I'm on a MacPro with 16GB memory. The...

3540 Problem not solved after all Another new problem: On my iMac in the PC VM my mouse no longer works in Microsoft Word. It's actually more insidious than that: you can scroll, but cannot put the cursor into the text. Weird. (and BAD). It worked in V4 before I installed 3540. What are...

Build 3540 Problem I installed the latest update from automatic update: Now I can't get Parallel Tools to install on my iMac. I won't know if I have the same problem on my MacPro until Monday when I go to work. Now what? UPDATE: I had tried three times to install Tools with no success...

After re-booting twice: EVERYTHING WORKS!! Memory and CPU sliders work (1-4 no problem, 5-8 have an asterisk denoting not fully supported, but, hey, four is a whole lot better than 1). Alas, the same is not true for my iMac installation: both sliders are not accessible and it only sees one...

Doesn't see my eight cores or video card or ...... Trying to install 4.0 on MacPro with Windows XP Pro as the guest OS Although during setup it asked for AGP440.sys, there was no way to address the real DVD drive even though I checked it in Devices. Nevertheless, I canceled that and the...

Elric/John, Your were right, of course: per your advice I decided to just keep clicking on "Install this driver anyway". I had to consent to six of them and "voila" : success!!! Many thanks. Perhaps the installation instructions should mention this (unless they already do somewhere...

The same dialog box keeps coming back, otherwise nothing happens. If I click on "don't", it rolls back the installation and quits.
