Every time I try to use Coherence, the Guest OS crashes. This started with Parallels 2 shortly after Coherence was introduced (it worked for a while) and continues with Parallels 3.0. I run Parallels on a first generation MBP (core duo, 2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM,100 GB HD with 20 GB free). My Guest OS is XP Home edition, and I use MS Office, MS Project, and Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I use Zone Alarm for antivirus, and that is all the software in my system. I have sent 3 emails to Parallels without any response (except the automated one). Any ideas? Thanks!
Hello, Try to uninstall Zone Alarm and use some another AV. Zone Alarm had some problems with coherence in the past.
Coherence crash with Zone Alarm Mike, I used ZA with coherence when coherence was first available and had no problems. Can I simply turn ZA off, or must I uninstall? I just renewed for 1 year and hate to waste the investment. I rarely use the internet with Windows, but feel a need for safety. If I MUST ditch ZA, can you recommend an alternative that is known to be compatible? I am not a fan of McAfee or Norton. Thanks!
Yes, you can turn it off. Also you can install Kaspersky Internet Security (6 month free as i know). Just go to Actions menu - Install Kaspersky Internet Security
Thanks! It was Zone Alarm! Mike, I took your advice, deleted ZA and added Kasperwhatever. Coherence now works! Wish I had not just re-upped my ZA. Oh, well, live and learn. Ken
I've used Kasperksy (after dumping McAfee) for several weeks now - works well. But I didn't know it was time-limited. Don't recall any note to that effect during installation. Will I eventually get some expiration-warning notice?
