    Can't boot to ISO bootable images

    On the recent update to P3 I noticed that my cd-roms set to bootable ISO images no longer boot. If I make a physical CD from the ISO, and instead attach to that, it will boot correctly. Has anyone else ran into this? Note: the same ISO image files boot under Fusion, but all my VMs are...

    Final Version of Parallels Desktop disables Command-Tab and VirtueDesktops

    Works on MBP, dual-display I haven't seen any differences from RC2 and GA with regard to Vitrue and normal Mac Command+Tab. I do, however, use different triggers to change windows in Virtue...I have mapped Control + Command + arrow(s) instead of Ctrl+Alt+Arrow as Chris does. My...

    Microsoft Update from XPSP2 (Parallels RC2)?

    I had it with McAfee installed, pre 8 enterprise versions. http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;883825 CAUSE This problem occurs when your computer has an antivirus program that uses real-time scanning.

    Anyone else using an external display with a MacBook

    I also have a MB Pro and an external HD monitor. The only difference is that I'm using a KVM switch as well as Virtue desktop manager...which I think would complicate matters more, but it doesn't. I use the ALT + ENTER key combo to get back. Everything seems fine thus far.

    Ability to mount Apple Disk Utility .DMG files?

    When shared folders are stable, that will definately be the better way to go. However the current method that PW is sharing folders via the Network Neighborhood has very similar risks... I can't quite figure out how they are authenticating access to the folders though...anyone else? If I...

    Ability to mount Apple Disk Utility .DMG files?

    I Agree...that would be really nice to be able to do. In either case it would be nice to access the DMG by "mounting" inside the VM. I have several large images that I can't convert to ISO and some also that have been compressed or encrypted and require a password to open. This is RISKY...

    onmac.net has a forum thread for parallels... http://forum.onmac.net/forumdisplay.php?f=31 This is also a good source for other options re. windows & the new Intel-macs.

    Bootcamp partition invisible

    That is one of the problems I am having with shared folders...others too...its a bug in the current beta. From one of your earlier posts it sounded like you didn't want to enable networking, but I have good performance with it, and the shares show up in my network neighborhood automatically--I...

    Bootcamp partition invisible

    First, I may not be of much more help here because I'm having problems getting my \\Pfs shared folders to stay operational in this Beta (6). The shared folders from Parallels is kinda 'hidden' in the Network Neighborhood. When you installed Beta 6 Tools, Parallels should have created a...

    Bootcamp partition invisible

    Not at all...I think you are just confusing the Windows "share folders" operation with that of accessing a shared folder on the Host Mac OS. For you to see the Bootcamp partition (the volume is \volumes\no name) simply use the PW Shared Folders to create a shared folder to that volume...

    shared folders in beta 6

You might not have permission to use this network...

    Bootcamp partition invisible

    It sounds like you are trying to use the Windows XP (Guest OS) Share Folder to share a folder that the guest OS hasn't been told how to see yet...if I understand your last post...if that is correct, you can't see anything on the host until you enable a function of the guest OS to see it...either...

    Bootcamp partition invisible

    The VM won't be able to see it, or any volume, unless you either use the PW Shared Folders option and add the volume \Volumes\NO NAME\ to your shared folders list, or you can enable Windows Sharing and create share points for the volume \Volumes\NO NAME.

    Backing Up or Duplicating a VM

    I just use the PW menu option to "Clone VM" (from the VM menu when the VM guest is Off or Suspended). If the Vm you are copying has been suspended, then there will also be a .sav file.

    Five days left on Trial Activation Key - Solution?

    Sorry, I wish I could help. I have gone to my account twice now and each e-mail has a new Activation key and has a different 30-day range. From the other thread I referenced, parallels states that beta testers will get an extended key, so maybe this is done on their system and your account...
