False Alarm - Delete Me . . . . . . . . . . .

That account is only going to be live for a few more days. Please grab the image posted and examine it. It wuldn't hurt to respond and let me know if you have it, so I can take it down.

We've been bugging Parallels on their handling of the command key and triggers for a while - no real success in getting any attention or a response.

Glad you guys got 2.5 out the door, but while Windows may be working, other OS's have been crippled here. I've gone ahead and posted my OpenStep VM. I don't think there are any legality issues, as it's over 10 years old and has no serial numbers or other identifiers. PLEASE look into this. On...

Well? Is this yet another thread that will be completely ignored? As far as I can tell, there are three sensible options for the user: 1) Map command key to Windows key (current default) 2) Swap command and control keys (to allow easy shortcuts in Windows) 3) Leave the command key alone -...

I am running a VM of OpenStep 4.2 in build 3150 that I previously created under 1970. Under that build, I had full resolution support at 32-bit color. Looking at the list now, I have NO 32-bit support on any resolution, and mostly 8-bit only (including on 1440x900). Here's hoping you can track...

Now that VMWare Fusion Beta is out, look at how they do it - a nice StartupItem that loads all the kexts and such that are needed from an Application Support folder. Nothing needed outside of /Library other than the application itself. THAT is how it's supposed to be done. Furthermore, you...

100% agreed. I would never have guessed that "helper.kext" was related to Parallels. There is still SO much work to be done in the usability department...

A simple preference would handle this best: - Use Command key for Mac OS X - Use Command key as Windows key Done. No more guesswork, and the user can have it either way.

Sadly, while I previously thought the Parallels Tools worked on 3036, I find they still blue screen when installing the video driver. After crashing and rebooting, Windows boots up with 640x480 (or thereabouts) and I can reinstall the Tools and they work fine. Please check how that driver is...

In a nutshell, the hal.dll file that Boot Camp uses (and all modern PC's) is the halaacpi.dll file, or an ACPI-enabled HAL. Parallels does not support ACPI, so in Parallels you have to tell it to use a different HAL. First, copy the correct HAL from the driver cache: copy C:\WINDOWS\Driver...

Unlikely - you need root privileges to unmount the drive, which needs to be done before Parallels can safely start playing with it. However, they've surprised me before. :)

A simple FAQ and Known Issues page would cut down a lot on the repeat questions, known problematic configurations (FAT32, Retail WinXP, Vista). And of course, some interface work. I've posted on this in detail before.

I'd just like to note that if Parallels supported changing properties while a VM was running, and applied those changes at next boot rather than disallowing them entirely, we wouldn't have this problem. The solution is fairly simple conceptually: The new styled "view properties" window...

Given the confusion in this very forum - where the build has been variously reported as 3060, 3080, and an assortment of other numbers - you would think the problem is self-evident. Heck, the correct number is in the thread title, and numerous people STILL get it wrong. Anyway, back to more...

Users do not know what build numbers ARE. Find me one major product that uses a build number prominently. Build numbers are fine for more detail, especially for betas, but why is it that unless you really look, you don't know what version Parallels is? What was v2.1, v2.2, and now (apparently)...

Dammit, why didn't I think of that? http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/information/bootini.mspx Of course, all of this would go away if they'd simply support ACPI...

Version numbers! Would Parallels PLEASE start using version numbers and not just build numbers? It helps a lot to separate betas from production versions, and in keeping track of how "major" an update is. I can remember things like Parallels 2.0, 2.2, 2.5b1 a lot better than build 1580, build...

A late response, but you may be able to get what you want via disk images with shadow files. See http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-22694.html for example.

Grumble - I'd rather they get the damn ACPI support in there that hack after hack. Right now, lack of ACPI blocks: Proper Vista support Linux shutdown/halt capability Restoring Windows backups from ACPI systems (i.e. any modern system) Instead we have Vista hacks and have to use repair...
