    Unable to allocate memory for monitor PE!

    Just a question before I try this long way... Did someone tried to go back to 10.4.X? Did this help recover the VM? EDIT: It' working... this is the workaround ! Just to help the community, I reformatted an external hard drive and give this idea a trial. After reinstalling Tiger, I...

    Leopard, Time Machine and //

    Thanks for pointing out this web page. It's OK to tell someone RTFM... when there is a FM to read ! So now, I hope Parallels 4 will offer a way to backup wha's within the image. This would be cool

    Leopard, Time Machine and //

    With Leopard, I will use Time Machine. Since I don't see any preferences in Time Machine allowing me to exclude someting from the backup set, this is creating a problem with Parallels. The about 10gig virtual hard disk is going to be automatically backed up every Hours when I use...

    Proper disk expansion!

    sandro, This is not a user freindly pocedure but a work around that you suggest. In Virtual PC, Microsot offered tha ability to expend / resize the image. The new dsk space was autoatically recognized by windows...

    What works better for you & why: parallels using a real partition or a virtual hdd?

    I voted partition: 1) because the backup software can backup both mac and "pc" partition without copying the all virtual disk all the time 2) because in some network situation, booting in native mode from Bootcamp is the only way to go so far

    No XP networking, no Parallels response?

    While I can not agree with you on your evaluation of Parallels... for me it IS a production valide solution, not an alpha quality system at all... I must say that you are right that some times bootcamp is th only solution. I am not a gamer, so I though that Parallels was more than enough. Now I...

    Open with

    This would have to work also when the machine is not running. In order for this suggestion to work, Parallels would also need to implement a link between the application in the dock and it's image container, and an auto login function letting users specify username, password, domaine...

    Launch Windows App From OSX Dock - Working!

    I agree, this is something for Parallels team to look for. Actually, VPC add a start menu in the Dock, and when a PC app was laounch, it's icon was also bouncing in the doc. You could ALT Tab between a Mac app and a PC App this way with Coherence mode... Whaoo..

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3036 Beta is available for download.

    I am quite impressed.... Do you plan in your future version to include complete mac keyboard layout remapping for foreign languages in windows ? This is maybe the last great thing (with applescript) that VirtualPC offered and you still do not. With this version, let's the migration from...

    This is very strange... I could not see a link to those forum from the main site menus ar the site map. You forgot to update it (at least, it should be under the Support menu option) Strange...

    Macbook Experiences?

    I have booth a MB and a MBP. It is more confortable for me to run Parallels in the MBP because: - it came with much more RAM, so I don't have to quite most of my application like on the MB to avoid virtual memory swaping to the hard disk all the time - I can also fell the better speed of...

    Poor performance on C2D MacBook Pro?

    The new MBP are not the first machine with a Core 2 Duo. If this issue was not reported on the new iMac product line, then it might not be CPU related but something else... So I guess someone from Parallels is now at an applestore near you to buy a new MBP and check out...

    Announcement from VMWare Mac Beta

    I am wondering what solution will first bring a seamless import from VirtualPC images. This one will win in large account where deployment issues are so high.

    Resizeable window

    This was possible in VirtualPC for MacOS... so I guess this is possible.

    Build 1940 of Parallels Desktop for Mac

    Dmainzman, Everyone has it's own agenda. In my case, having to transition many VPC users in the next 12-18 month, I would trade 3D for direct conversion of Virtual PC images to Parallels... and yes, this is in the FAQ as something that may be part of a future version... Parallels team...

    Migrating existing XP installation to Parallels?

    I followed exactly your steps... It looks like the windows repair did not suceed... maybe because the VirtualPC emulated hardware is so different from the Parallels configuration??? So basically the restored HD could not boot... But again, I am not a experienced Win user, so I may have not...

    Migrating existing XP installation to Parallels?

    Well... I wish you luck... I have been trying for few weeks to migrate my Virtual PC 7 image to Parallels... No sucess even with Northon Ghost or Acronis full backup solution. I gave up today, and started the long process to reinstall everything from scratch. The worse thing is that I will...
