FWIW I just did a clean install of Version 13.1.1 (43120) and a brand new install of Windows 10. I use it in coherence mode all the time, and I am having the same issue. This didn't occur in my prior install of v11 with Windows 7. I also notice a few other hitches - seems like coherence in...

Hello, longtime PD user but this is my first real problem. I logged a case about this, but figured I'd post here too. I'm running a Macbook Pro (retina) with a 27" Thunderbolt display, Mavericks up to date, and PD9 build 24172 with a Windows 7 Professional vm, also fully up to date. I've been...

Just an FYI for everyone. I mistakenly let my overall drive space get down to 2Gb and it killed the VM. My Windows drive was set to be 40Gb, but with a couple snapshots Parallels was taking up 75Gb of space on my 100Gb drive. With everything else, the space dwindled down to 2Gb and I could...

Fixed! What a relief! There were some unusual errors at first, but in the end we were able to use the Image Tool to combine the snapshots into a new hdd file and that restored everything. This was a combined effort from me, our local support guru and the Parallels engineering team so thank...

Xenos, any updates? I still haven't been able to recover the file and I really would like to get some information out of it. Thanks for the help! Mark

I've used Parallels for 1.5 years now, always running a virtual disk. In fact it's been the same hdd file that has just grown over time from the original 2.x version through the current build 5584. And until last week, it's been rock-solid. But last week my hdd file corrupted and I still...

See a couple posts above. :)

Thanks, I just uninstalled/reinstalled the tools and it fixed the problem. I wonder why? Mark

FWIW I did a clean install of build 5584 and created a brand-new XP vm (OSX 10.4.11), and I'm having the Outlook slow email windows problem. Almost any action in Outlook, closing an email, sending an email, creating a calendar item, etc., will result in a spinning pinwheel for several seconds...

You got it. I'll do anything to help recover this file. Here's the Snapshots.xml file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ParallelsSavedStates xmlns:xsi="" vm_uuid="" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="" > <SavedStateItem guid="" state="poweroff" > <Name></Name>...

Sure. 3ad8229c - 8.62Gb 5fbaabe3 - 10.82Gb 524a37eb - 38.56Gb

Thanks Xenos, I tried that with the same result. Tonight I went further. Using some of the threads posted here I reconstructed the package files, DiskDescriptor.xml files and the pvs file, matching them to the existing Snapshots.xml file and I'm reasonably certain I have the structure correct...

My Parallels installation (which has been bulletproof for 1.5 years) has decided to crash. Yesterday Windows downloaded a major update and rebooted and everything was fine. At the end of the day I put the WinXP VM to sleep and then put the Mac to sleep and went home. When I tried to start...

True, but in Windows you can place a shortcut to offline files on the desktop which will open an explorer window listing the files, just as normal. So what I'm wondering is if there is a way to access that shortcut somehow, while remaining in the Mac OS? Failing that, then Parallels will just...

I saw a similar thread on the (closed) beta forum. I'm running Parallels 5582, Windows XP as guest OS, on OSX 10.4.11 with shared networking. This problem suddenly started happening last week when I was on a previous build, and after I upgraded OSX. I was able to fix it by upgrading Parallels...

Wow. I guess this isn't a pressing problem for anyone, huh? Offline files are a great way to handle work vs. home, and if there was a comparable capability in OSX it wouldn't be an issue. I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Mark

I have a MBP that I take between the office and home. At work I connect to a Windows network with Windows servers. I have a "home" directory on one of those servers where I store all of my work-related files, because they get backed up every night. I have a network drive in Windows mapped to...

I keep my most-used Windows apps in the Favorites menu for easy access. Well I installed Office 2007 and now all my Office favorites are broken since they still look for the old '03 install. How do I remove old favorites? Mark

Get Windows users and you have 90% of the planet. Get Mac too and you have 99% of the planet. If you're a commercial entity, would you spend a lot of time on linux tools? Even if you look at just the Parallels audience, I'd wager at least 75% of those are interested primarily in Windows/Mac...

Insert is a big deal for some people and has nothing to do with overtyping. I manage large projects all the time and use MS Project. The insert key allows me to quickly add task lines to the project, like a single-key "add row" instead of digging through a menu. The section of a PC keyboard...
