I just went through many hours trying to upgrade some older HP LaserJet printer's JetDirect firmware. HP has dropped support and availability of the older tools to do firmware upgrades. These printers had firmware that did not allow firmware upgrades using the Web interface to the printers...

Here is the behavior that I'm seeing: If both the Quicken data file and the Quicken backup files are stored in the "os x" file system using Quicken's "Shared Profile" then Quicken backup fails. In this situation the path to both the data files and the backup files is...

I did have "Shared Profile" enabled and disabling "Shared Profile" changes the situation. With "Shared Profile" disabled, when I launch Quicken, I have to tell quicken I'm already using Quicken and navigate to the psf// location of my Quicken data file each time. Quicken doesn't remember this...

John, I'm just trying to do a backup on the same virtual machine. Just a simple Quicken backup to a local file on the same Windows XP virtual machine. I'm not trying to do a network backup at all. Paul

Just upgraded to Parallels Desktop 4.0.3810 and Quicken backup still fails. It seems that Quicken doesn't know there is a file system to use for backup. I'm just trying to backup the data file to the Windows XP virtual disk. The last backup that worked successfully was with a Parallels...

Just upgraded to Parallels Desktop 4.0.3810 which runs on OS X 10.5.6 Best I can tell, everything I have runs fine except the backup capability inside of Quicken. So when I quit Quicken and say to backup, I get two successive dialogue boxes asking if I want to do the backup, but they just...

I'm already running 4.0.3540 released Nov 22, 2008. Parallels tools for release 3540 are installed. I've read through your referenced post. Nothing in the referenced post talks about Quicken backups not occurring when you exit Quicken.

For some reason when I try to do a backup of my Quicken data, no Quicken Backup Dialogue box appears and no backup takes place. Quicken was backup up files just fine in beta Parallels 4 versions up to the final release. Anyone have any ideas on how to get Quicken running under Parallels to...

I already have file sharing setup, so that isn't what is keeping Quicken from backing up. I upgraded to Quicken 2009 today and just like magic, backups now work. Instead of doing nothing, Quicken presents a dialog box to select the backup location and does the backup. So something changed...

I finally gave up on Quicken for Mac, long abandoned by Quicken, and moved on to Quicken 2008 for Windows. Am running this under Parallels. After a week of marathon transfer and cleanup of data Quicken on Windows appears to work well except for backup. When I exit Quicken I'm given the...

If I enable the experimental Direct X Shaders under the video options the direct-x video portion does show up. However, parallels crashes shortly after trying to display downloaded objects.

I installed Worldwide Telescope and am able to launch it just fine. All the windows and menus seems to work. However, the main "sky" window does not show any objects such as stars, deep space objects, etc. So I'm close to running, but not there. MacBook Pro, Parallels Desktop 3.0, 56000...

Like so many others, I ran out of room on my 8GB XP disk image. I also had little room left on my MacBook Pro disk. So I upgraded to one of the Hitachi 200GB, 7200 RPM internal drives (an absolutely wonderful disk) and then started the "drill" to get my Parallels XP disk image bigger now that...

nuvi 660 I just updated my Garmin Nuvi 660 using Parallels RC build 3120 using the stand alone downloads and had no problems at all. This USB update worked just like I would expect on a PC.

Update to the Release candidate, 3120 Swig, You didn't mention what version/build of Parallels you are running. If you aren't running the latest release candidate, build 3120, then your chances of any USB device working are limited. Parallels has added a lot of USB functionality and fixed...

Parallels version 3094 recognizes the Celestron Skyscout, but the USB connection doesn't work. When the Skyscout is plugged into the USB port the first time, a driver request is made, which I installed from the Celestron CD. On subsequent connects, the USB "chimes" happen and the Skyscout...

I tried the following technique posted by Jerry over in the "phones under parallels" thread: - open your startup drive window. Go to System/Library/Extensions/ - in there, find the file named IOUSBFamily.kext - right click on that file and choose 'Copy', then right click on the Desktop and...

Have two USB devices that still don't work under build 1884. One is a Celestron SkyScout the other is an SBIG 402ME Camera. While realizing these are specialized devices I just want to get this info to the Parallels Development Team in hopes that USB passthrough can get robust enough that...

I just upgraded and Windows shared folders are working fine for me. So whatever the problem is for those that lost shared folders isn't something that happened to everyone...which doesn't make it any less frustrating for those that did lose their shared folder access. Just putting this out for...

Restoring Parallels Host-Guest Adapter If you accidentally deleted your Parallels Host-Guest Adapter, I have seen posts that claim uninstalling and then reinstalling Parallels will restore the setting. Use the "uninstall" tool on the Parallels Install disk or disk image to do this. If...
