    Slow keyboard response on High Sierra and Windows 10 (TradeStation 10 IDE)

    I've not noticed this before, but after previously with the IDE, I can type at normal speed. Now somewhere along the line of Parallels update to 15, Parallels tools updates, and all that, the keyboard types at the rate of a painfully slow 1 character per second. How to troubleshoot? Fix...

    Extremely Slow

    Wow just wow. How's that shiny new mac working out? Mine is a dual proc multi core Mac Pro with 64GB ram and 512GB SSD. That shiny enough for you? I use it for stock trading with TradeStation 10. Absolutely unusable.

    Extremely Slow

    I am having the same problem, my app is TradeStation v 10 (latest update). Extremely slow. I'm running a Mac Pro with 8 procs and 64GB allocated to Parallels 10 Pro. I see this issue has been running since last year. Is there a concerted effort to fix this, or should I finally ditch Parallels in...

    LinuxMint VM does not have network connection after Mac wakes up from sleep, Parallels 11/12

    The repro is: 1. Start Mac 2. Launch Parallels desktop 3. Create a VM using LinuxMint 18 Sarah (I also tried with LinuxMint 17.3 and 17.1 same issues) 4. Configure VM network to be Bridged -> Default Adapter 5. Open a Terminal and type in "ifconfig" that should bring up the network interfaces...

    Help, I can't install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS !? Parallels 11/12

    Right on installation it says: "failed to retrieve configuration file ubuntu parallels" and then there's not much I can do except to abort the installation. Is 16.04 LTS supported by Parallels 11/12 or not? Thanks, Caesar.

    Why is there no "External Device" menu item under "Devices" menu?

    I spoke too soon, somehow this time around "USB & Bluetooth" is listed when clicking "+". I added it and now "External Devices" works! Hope this helps somebody.

    Why is there no "External Device" menu item under "Devices" menu?

    One more clue is when using "Action" -> "Configure" -> "Hardware" there is no "USB & Bluetooth" configuration item. Clicking on "+" doesn't list it there either.

    Why is there no "External Device" menu item under "Devices" menu?

    Also note that this VM was migrated from VirtualBox. I just tested installing brand new from the install DVD and it does have "External Devices" and can capture the USB drive. How do I get the "External Devices" menu item back? There is a lot of software installed and Windows 7 is already...

    Why is there no "External Device" menu item under "Devices" menu?

    I'm having a strange problem, I can't connect _any_ USB devices to my Windows 7 VM. I don't know if it was always this way as it's a fairly new installation (a week or so). I can plug in a USB drive and I'm prompted whether to connect it to the Mac or the Linux VM but _not_ the Windows 7 VM...

    Minimizing full screen VM

    Found the fix: Press Apple+H while in the VM and the screen will instantly minimize.

    Vista Problem with Boot Camp and Coherence

    Figured out the problem. You must complete Parallels Tools installation. Bring up the Parallels Desktop toolbar, under Actions if you see "Cancel Parallel Tools installation" that means it's not completed installation. If you've done this several times, cancel it. Then re-install (i.e. go to...

    Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac and Windows Vista Boot Camp 1.3?

    LOL, I'm in a much better mood now that I've got it going (but without coherence, WTF ?????) That's precisely why people are yelling. People bought Macs so they don't have to deal with Linux incompatibilities, or past complexities of Windows (well there are still many with Vista, but at least it...

    Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac and Windows Vista Boot Camp 1.3?

    There should be a clear read me. I needed to reboot not just Vista. But also MacOSX: 1. Download build 4128 2. Install build 4128 3. Reboot MacOS X (seems you need to do this because of services from build 4124 is still running after build 4128 is installed). 4. Create your Vista VM using custom...

    Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac and Windows Vista Boot Camp 1.3?

    This build DOES NOT fix the kbdmgr.exe problem. I just tried it. Downloaded , upgraded, then launched Vista, re-enabled kbdmgr.exe, rebooted the VM, and it hung/froze as it did before. Now I have to reboot into the bootcamp partition to remove kbdmgr.exe again. Please DO NOT release...

    Minimizing full screen VM

    Yes, Alt-Enter works, what I want is to minimize not just return it from full screen. I'd like to be able to treat the VM as another desktop, full screen switch into the VM, and later return full screen switch into MacOS X.

    Vista Problem with Boot Camp and Coherence

    Has anybody got this working? When I have my Vista OS window (Boot Camp partition), coherence does not start, clicking on Parallel Desktop -> View -> Coherence, or clicking the coherence button does not do anything to enable coherence. Is coherence supported with Boot Camp 1.3? 1.2? or not at...

    Minimizing full screen VM

    Is there a way to minimize the full screen VM when toggling back to the Mac desktop? Ideally: 1. MacOS (Alt-Enter) -> Full screen VM 2. Full screen VM (Alt-Enter) -> Mac OS with minimized VM (to the toolbar) or must I just use the coherence mode? Thanks!

    Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac and Windows Vista Boot Camp 1.3?

    Disabling kbdmgr.exe using msconfig.exe fixed the problem for me. I had to manually install Parallels Tools as I had been rebooting the VM a few times interrupting the previous installs.
