    Problem with Smart Guard / Snapshots

    It's two virtual drives. I basically keep one Virtual Drive with the OS and one with my Data on it. I could probably re-create it if I went back to multiple drives.

    Problem with Smart Guard / Snapshots

    So after migrating from 2 drives to a single drive, the snapshot problem appears gone. It has completed 2 daily and 1 weekly snapshot without freezing. It DOES appear to be a problem with my 2 drive setup. Is this a bug that can be looked at? I would like to go back to my preferred setup AND...

    Problem with Smart Guard / Snapshots

    Not sure since I always have 2 HD's connected. My setup keeps my data on a D: drive so it can be connected to multiple VM's. I suppose I could migrate the data to the C: Drive to test out. Is this a likely cause? Is this an unusual use case? Any diagnostics I can do?

    Problem with Smart Guard / Snapshots

    I have performed First Aid, reformatted the Mac and even swapped to a new Mac. Also, I have created a new VM from scratch. My assumption is that some combination of features I use causes the problem. For example, I have two Hard Disks mounted (C: & D:) vs a Single Image?

    Problem with Smart Guard / Snapshots

    Ever since I updated to Parallels 14, I have consistently not been able to run Smart Guard. Each time Parallels runs a snapshot, Windows 10 will appear to lose access to the disk. This will sometimes freeze the OS, sometimes it will stay responsive for a few minutes but each time, I must...

    My Bootcamp is now screwed !

    Figured out something else out. If you hold down a key on the keyboard after selecting the windows partition at startup, the keyboard works to select the startup items. Now I have a new problem, I seem to have screwed up my wireless networking when booted into bootcamp (real). Anyone...

    My Bootcamp is now screwed !

    OK, it looks like Parallels replaces the HAL and it doesn't support the macbook keyboards but there is a work around until they fix it. First I set my boot.ini to have a 10 second time out. After the timeout it selects the Bootcamp HAL. Second, I had it select Profile1 after a second...

    My Bootcamp is now screwed !

    Same prob here. Bootcamp works great in parallels but I can't get back in when I boot. Keyboard doesn't appear to work. I might try setting timeouts for a default boot until it gets working.

    Beta for production

    I am also using parallels for semi production work. The key is to make sure that the actual work isn't only on the parallels machine. For me, all my work sits in a VSS Database on another machine. That way when I am connected I can check in with no worries about whats on the guest os. If...

    Video Performance

    Thanks, any performance enhancement that can be done for Video would be great. I don't expect full accellerated speed but something closer to what I get in VPC seems doable. BTW- I do have VT-x enabled and working. CPU performance is great.

    Video Performance

    I am loving parallels and using it from windows development but I have noticed that the video performance isn't quite what I am used to with Virtual PC in Windows. It's not bad but when doing GDI+ work, it really drags. - Can anyone comment on if this is because I am using a Mac mini...

    Parallels Tools

    I played around with this for a bit as well. It seemed to me that it would not install if I had a CD in the drive. Once I removed the CD and rebooted the Guest OS, it installed.

    Enable VT on the Mac Mini.

    Has anyone tried this. Also, can you pass on a binary version. I program on a PC but I am a MacOS newbie so I am not quite up on compiling etc.

    VT-X disabled by firmware update?

    mattham, my experience is much like yours. I have seen VT both on and off. One time was after a hard crash. Since then, it now only wants to do Software Mode 2....whatever that is.
