I'm running a 2011 iMac with SSD, and 16Gb memory on High Sierra 10.13.6 I am using Parallels Desktop Version 15.1.2 (47123) as this was the last version to support Windows XP. PD 16 I was told, dropped all support for XP, and I am very happy with version 15.1 and XP. I use XP as using older...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues trying to migrate a physical Windows XP machine to Parallels. I'm attempting to transfer a Windows XP Pro (SP3) machine to a Parallels 16 Desktop install on Mac, as the XP machine has critical software installed and tied to the specific...

Magically the folders I added to make parallels share with my Windows XP don't show up, looked in folders where it would be and check "isolate windows" wasn't on, the folders don't appear even after multiple reboots, changing users on the Guest OS. I have no more ideas and have the community to...

I have a Windows XP (!) .pvm file that I would like to run. I have been running it in Parallels Desktop for Mac, but recently upgraded to an M1 MacBook, which can't run the old x86 pvm files [correct me if I am wrong]. It's unclear if Parallels will eventually support old Intel based pvm files...

I have an XP VM running on my mac (OS Catalina). This has been working well for years. I upgraded Parallels to the subscription model in 2019 or maybe in 2020. Well, I can no longer connect to the internet. I use it for a couple applications that need to be updated periodically through the...

How do I upgrade my Windows XP to Windows 10?

I am looking at getting a stripped down version of Windows XP to run inside the latest Parallels Desktop 16. I only need this intergrated small XP footprint to run 2 older programs so do not need many of the Windows features, and no internet (especially as XP can be vulnerable now as its not...

Hi, Im about to try Parallels Desktop again after a while away. Support have told me that PD16 will work ok on High Sierra 10.13.6, which my iMac is at (dont need to upgrade due to other programs) so this has made me look at v16 and not v15. I don't have much space left on my MacHD and its a...

I use a Windows XP VM to play some of my oldest games and up until the latest upgrade to version 16 had the option to enable "Vertical Sync" which is now missing and get severe frame tearing issues. If I search the configuration panel for the option it acts like the option should be in the...

I recently installed a trial of Parallels 15 on my 16" MBPro, connected to internet with a dock and Ethernet cable, but wifi works too. I installed Windows XP from an iso, no problems there as far as I can tell. However, I have extremely limited and selective internet access under XP. I can't...

In a prior update, I was able to access my Mac files with Parallels. However, no matter what I do, Windows can no longer access Mac files These are the settings I chose to make sure that Mac files can be accessed. But the Mac files shortcut appears as a blank icon, and when I double click it...

I have two files on my iMac that take up a total of almost 90 GB. They were last used 2 and 3 years ago and they both start with "Windows XP-0-hdd.0". My VM is Windows XP. What are those files and can I safely delete them?

I tried to do P2V from Windows XP machine to Parallels 14, I installed "ParallelsTransporterAgent-14.1.3-45485-win.exe" on my XP machine. It says "The procedure entry point GetUserPreferredUILanguages could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNAL32.dll". I have same problem with...

While using Quicken in Windows XP (which I have been doing flawlessly for many years) on my Mac running High Sierra everything suddenly froze. I can not quit Quicken, and I can also not shut down Windows XP. When I do a Force Quit for PD, and then restart it, the Windows XP comes back up in...

I'm running virtual Windows XP & Windows 10, and the configuration option "Show page setup options before printing" will not stay selected between sessions, whether one or both of the virtual machines are running or shut down when I make the selection. Once I select the option (and regardless of...

I was notified today of an upgrade for Parallels for Mac Desktop (13.13.1 (43365)), and after reading the change log, I installed it. I am running software on a Windows XP SP-3 virtual machine, and this update introduced a huge delay between pressing the Tab key on my keyboard (wired, not...

Hello, I think I made a big mistake and updated to Sierra OS without even thinking about the impact on Parallels 9 which is run on Windows XP. It's a long story but I really don't even use my PC platform too often so I didn't think too clearly about it. So now of course I can't access Parallels...

Hello everybody ! 1st, sorry for my English skills which are very limited. I have to transfer an old machine running Windows XP. For that I use the Parallels transporter agent with an external HDD. But I can't go after the HDD check. The agent stops and ask to execute a chkdck /F. I made this...

Hello to all, I know XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, but I use the Professional version with special professional applications, for my work every day. Now it happens that Windows XP, as it is typical, is degraded to the point that in addition to not working the WiFi NAT connection and...
