I'm a longtime user of Parallels Desktop to run Windows VM. I also use OSX Keyboard Maestro (KM) extensively. Briefly, P6 (but not P5) breaks the use of a particular KM macro in OSX programs such as Textedit, MS Word for OSX, and R for OSX. Details: Frequently I am using Microsoft Word...

suspend, restore, \\.psf\Home, and login prompt Was a solution ever found? I've posted a very similar issue (http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=89513) and recently submitted a bug report. I'm running 4.0.3844 (dated May 5).

If you reboot the VM, then the \\.psf\Home folder reappears. Logging off/on is not good enough.

See http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=89513 for another suspend/resume issue. (I didn't get an answer either.)

Hi, Folks, The following puzzle has just shown up. Suddenly the path \\.psf\Home is no longer valid, but voilá, the OSX home can now be accessed via the path \\.psf\ParallelsXPSharedDrive . Possible cause (or coincidence): I recently changed my OSX account to remove adminstrative...

I rebooted OSX. That solved the stuckness problem. On starting the VM again, Parallels gave the message "The virtual machine XYZ cannot be resumed. It is impossible to restore the virtual machine state because the file containing this state has a wrong checksum. The virtual machine will be...

I suspended the VM last night, and later attempted to revive it. Could not activate the password box - mouse pointer was missing. Clicked on Shut Down, but after warning message appeared I did not click the second time. Closed Parallels, re-opened, and now all items on the Virtual Macine...

To clarify: The question for friskythecat is, within the Device Manager, under "System Devices", I see "Parallels paravirtualization driver" and "Parallels Tool Device". Am I looking in the right place, and at the right drivers, or is it some other driver that should be uninstalled or...

Good news! Can you describe which drivers you uninstalled? And did they get reinstalled automatically on reboot of the VM?

Hi Xenos, I followed instructions from Tools/Delete Snapshot (led there by the message window generated by trying Compressor from the Tools menu). Incidentally, Tools/Run Parallels Compressor directed me to ensure that the VM WAS running, which seems to contradict your message that I am...

Xenos, thanks a million, your suggestion worked! (Even though I did it in a different order-- shut down the VM first.) I'm greatly relieved and grateful.

I have the same problem as of rebooting OSX last night. Thanks for connecting it to the security update-- that hadn't occurred to me. My old standby solution for broken networking doesn't work. (In the past, I would solve this problem by adding en3 in the sharing panel of system...

Apple shipped security update 2007-009 v.1.1 today. Anybody try this yet? Kraken, did you install 1.0 or 1.1?

Thanks so much for your struggles to help us. We wish you enough holiday to refresh your soul. To clarify your last message: Have you attempted to replicate Biggdaddyborder's suggestion in message #58 on updating (deleting /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework etc), and did...

I am on 5160 (and i think several others too). I think all of us with the problem are on Tiger post-update.

pasting into windows VM doesn't work, as of yesterday I tried uninstall/reboot/safemode/remove Parallels/reboot/reinstall. The problem was not helped. Still cannot paste into windows. (Can paste in reverse.) I also did the security update for OSX. Build=5160. OSX=10.4.11 with recent...

But if I remove the mouse by clicking on it from the Parallels USB device list, the mouse works fine immediately. The ghost mouse problem goes away.

Yes, this is happening to me. In the last build, the great majority of the time that I attach a USB mouse, it fails to appear to move, although it is actually moving - you see buttons respond to mouseover events. In previous builds, the mouse worked great -- you got an ignorable warning message...

Yogesh, I've been using shared networking mostly successfully since maybe June 2006. This evening, it all went byebye. the two Parallels interfaces had red lights in the Preferences Network pane. I fixed it by going to the OSX Preferences Sharing pane and adding en3 to the list of interfaces...

it worked .. but at first I couldn't find the DRM folder. Netflix sent this info, which did the job. First, disable automatic license acquisition in Windows Media Player: 1. Open Windows Media Player 2. Select tools, then Options 3. Select Privacy and deselect Download usage rights...
