I have now upgraded to 4.0 four different VMs. I have two VMs one Vista and one XP and two fresh copies of those files as backup in case of infections These backups are just a fresh Windows installation and appropriate applications all registered. It does take time to do a backup and a...

Although I have not downloaded them they appear to be at http://www.parallels.com/download/desktop/

The easiest way I found was to connect the old and new MacBook with an ethernet cable. Use the migration assistant to load all of the old applications, including parallels. Allow access to the old computer and copy your VM(s) from the old MacBook to the new one. If you use the ethernet cable it...

I have been using a Logitech MX Revolution for about a year on a MacPro using Parallels for close to a year. The mouse works great except I have not figured out how to set it up so the back and forward buttons work when using IE. In OSX and Boot camp it works as advertised. Any suggestions...

I had the same experience as terryhatmaker.

If it is an upgrade install (2.5 to 3.0) or a brand new install you may have to be a little patient with the load process. You do need to install the new set of Parallels tools. I had a crash the first time I loaded a VM with 3.0. It cleared itself after I launched the Parallels program and...

Solution I am sorry to say I don't remember who supplied the solution. To solve the problem make sure when you quit your VM session make sure the caps lock is not engaged. If it is the next time windows starts up the VM may be confused and start up in a in a backward state.

If you do a fresh install back up your VM once you have registered Vista or XP but before you add your data. I found it is really nice to have a licensed fresh copy of Windows available in the event you need to replace a VM. If I am surfing to new areas of the web I often use a disposable VM...

I only have anecdotal information with version 3188. I have been using it with three different copies of the VM. Each has different uses and provide backup in case of a malware problem. I only run one at a time. What I found is the 3188 requires a reboot of my computer about once a week...

I know it must be a setting but I have no idea where. If I have no caps lock set on the Mac the Parallels (XP) has its caps lock engaged. Where do I correct this problem. thanks

Not to state the obvious but have you installed your printer drivers in the VM. I know in my case the drivers for my Epson 4800 had to be installed before I could print.

Similar problem I have a number of VM for different functions. One I use for testing new versions only which I updated with 3186. I was able to update only after overcoming the Black Screen issue previously reported. The next VM I tried (a copy since I am cautious) started up with no black...

MacPro, XP, Epson 4800 on a network All of our mixture of PC, virtual PC and Macs share the printers. One printer the Epson 4800 is a network printer we use for art prints. This printer is on the same private TCP/IP network and has an IP number 192.168.1.25. The easy way to set it up and...

slow start up I also am a new Mac user. Unlike you, my experience with Windows start up is that its surprisingly fast. I had expected a much slower start up. It consistently starts up as if I had just re-installed Windows XP on PC. Shut down is slow but no slower than any of my XP machines...

Mac and Norton 2006 I have been using Norton Anti-Virus 2006 and on an other VM for the Mac F-secure. Both anti virus program are working well without any known issues. They both scan and update themselves appropriately. All though I have no idea why your installation is not working I offer...

Solution After some effort and finding a post from Darlene. The solution turns out to be quite easy. Following her suggestion I downloaded Bonjour for Windows. Installed it. After launching Bonjour for Windows it quickly found the printer. Then it was just a matter of finding the printer driver...

I have just moved to the Mac from a PC. To ease the transition pain and the cost of replacing software I am using Parallels for the Mac on a MacPro. When I use the stand alone PC I have the computer and Printer on the same network, 192.168.1.1. To print to the Epson 4800 I had just added a TC/IP...
