    I just launched Parallels and only needed it to check web sites in Internet Explorer 6 & 7. Does it support multiple browsers where I can switch back and forth easily? Where is the add/remove programs located?

    Also having trouble with launching. It's slow. Has this been fixed in an update?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hello Yvonne Allen,

    Parallels Desktop Supports most of the web browsers like Firefox , Safari etc.
    You can switch back or forth from one web browser to another by double click on the Web browser that is installed on the Virtual Machine.

    To make a Web browser as default web browser you need to change the properties from the Web browser settings.

    Add or remove program is located in Control Panel.

    To increase the Performance kindly do to neccessary changes.

    1. Increase the RAM by going to Parallels Desktop => Preferences => Memory.
    2. Increase the RAM upto 1000MB by going to Configure => Memory.
    3. Disable the Smart Mount that is in Configure.
    4. Manually change the number of CPUs to 1 in Configure => CPU.

    This should fix.
