Just to add that in checking I have Parallels Desktop 2.5 Build 3188, could this version have any relevance to my issue?

Hi all, after an absence of 18 months or so, i decided to reinstall Parallels again. All went well, installed Vista, opened up Vista, ran well for two or three times. This morning I awoke the Mac from sleep and fired up Parallels. The initial screen stated up but on clicking the green...

Exactly the same for me, what gives??

I know this has been sprayed around before, but what's with all these crashes and need to send reports to Parallels. I thought the latest build was stable, why should this keep re occuring? Others have said that you should not upgrade from previous beta's, well in the case of Vista I...

Hi all, may be just a co-incidence, but XP seems to have gone crazy in the last day or so. Am running 10.4.9 and latest Parallels Mac software. It may be just good old XP doing it's thing. Loosing the desktop, no bottom menu bar, quite unstable. Have tried System Restore twice, no go...

On restart, hold down F8 key

Well I must report back after solving my print problems. It was simplicity itself (isn't this often the case?) I simply booted up Vista, minimised it so I could see the task bar, went to Devices, clicked usb/printer (I think that was the sequence) and voila, it all happened. I can now print...

Just to provide a bit more info. Firstly I must say I got a bit carried away last night and I do think Parallels is quite something, and here to stay. Having said that, I have had my frustrations. The printing under Parallels Vista Home Basic is annoying and very time consuming. Especially...

Hi, thanks for your feedback, I must be doing something terribly wrong as I am running the latest beta from Parallels and a full newly acquired version of Vista Home Basic.......how much more upgrading can I do? Funnily enough, I could print just fine with Vista RC1!! No problems in printing...

Thanks for your feedback. I have Vista Home Basic running but cannot print at all. Have tried Bonjour to no avail. When you say does VM detect printer, how does one establish that? The printer certainly shows in Control Panel. Tried to install Epson driver via Epson disk and via Vista inbuit...

Hi there, is it possible to get a definitive answer from Parallels or some other member with specific experience in relation to a simple question......Is it possible to print in Vista Home Basic under the latest Parallels beta? I have tried all methods ( I think) including using Bonjour for...

Vista Printing You make a good point, will try your method with my Epson, I fiddled around with Bonjour before in XP but like all things, have forgotten the sequence now, I will rev my brain up and have a go. As I recall you have to set the Mac up for shared printing and enable Bonjour, the...

I have a similar problem with an Epson R210, Vista tells me the printer is installed, but printing is a no go! The Epson site seems a bit useless, merely refers to a PDF of Vista drivers, but no down loads??? I can print just fine in XP on Parallels, then again, maybe I installed my Epson...

Vista Printing I too have just installed Vista Home Basic and while I could happily print in Vista RC1, cannot manage this in Vista Basic. Anyone else come across this?

Hi All. Can anyone throw some light on a disappointing problem relating to Vista. With the old RC1 version, during it's late use, I started to have severe problems with Vista hanging on boot up. The green dots on loading would just cease part way through boot up. In earlier use of RC1...

I am answering my own question here. I have downloaded the latest beta, and have found it quite stable and enabling me to do stuff I could not achieve in the intial 1790 build. For one, it seems to handle my Mepis shutdown issues without a problem. XP and Vista run very well (as before ) I...

It's great these beta's or RC are being offered but I must confess to having experienced some problem issues and have decided to revert to my proven 1790 build for the time being. I have Vista and XP running, no issues at all. I am sure many 'bugs' have been ironed in this ongoing development...

Yes, I agree that is their firmly stated opinion, but none the less, I have heard comments to the contrary, guess we will have to wait and see. BTW, even though I have since deleted the Vista Boot Camp partition, Vista in Aero Glass looked great.

Not sure about Parallels supporting Aero, but at a guess I would say no. You are probably aware that BootCamp does. The new version under Leopard is rumored to work as a toggle from Mac to Vista, this would be great if it's true! If that's the case bye, bye Parallels (even though I am a...

Also Marc, suggest you get rid of MacAfee AV completely and install the free Avast! AV program. Using this on XP and Vista without any (known ) problems
