Joevt, I've restored to v5 so that preference just nags me to upgrade to v6. I'm looking for a notification when v6 is updated to fix this scrolling bug.

How will we find out when this next version is available? Is it announced somewhere?

Also, the Mac Archive Utility seems to back up VMs without error messages. Compresses the backup too.

Here is a link to a KB article about downgrading. http://kb.parallels.com/en/8913 Good luck though. Fortunately I backed up my v5 VMs before I did the upgrade so downgrading meant just restoring them. When I try to start one of my upgraded v6 VMs under v5 I get a message that there is no OS...

All settings are exactly the same as under Parallels 5. Video Memory 256, 3D and vertical sync both on, tried both 1G and 1.5G on a 4G MacBook pro. None of this seemed to make a difference. I've reinstalled Parallels 5 and the scrolling is back to normal. I only have one Mac. Is there any way...

Actually, I found that the tar command works without giving the permissions error. Curious though, if I followed your advice would the restored VM work without the Windows Disks folder, or would I need to manually create it after the restore?

I'm trying to make backups on some of my virtual machines. When I copy the .pvm using Finder I get the following message: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items." When I use terminal cp command to do the copy I get "cp: symlink...

I bought Parallels 5 for Mac because it handled scrolling in Quicken much better than VMWare's Fusion. Parallels 6 seems to have regressed and scrolling is now much slower. Is anyone else seeing this and are there any work-arounds?

PGP WDE seems to slow down Parallels 5 I'm trying the same thing. I find that it takes 1:21 to resume my Windows 7 VM from an encrypted drive vs only 0:29 from a unencrypted drive. After it's resumed it takes 0:27 to open Windows Explorer vs only 0:03 when the VM is on a unencrypted drive...

Is there any way to password-protect a suspended VM? I'm running Win7 as a guest under Parallels on Mac. When I suspend the Win7 VM it doesn't enter sleep mode, so the password setting there doesn't help. ... Jim

Is there a way to password protect a VM that is paused or suspended? I would like it to ask for a password before it becomes active again. The VM is Windows 7, so requiring the Windows account password would also be acceptable. Thx ... Jim
