Having a heck of time getting Parallels 9 to work. Continually receive the error:
"Unable to Connect to Parallels Service
Make sure that the prl_disp_service process is active and it is not blocked by Firewall. For details, please refer to http://kb.parallels.com/en/8089. If the problem persists, contact the Parallels support team for assistance."
.
Have uninstalled and re-installed, fixed permissions, etc. several times. No firewall running.
Where it gets interesting is upon running these commands in the terminal:
Code:
$ sudo launchctl stop com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon
launchctl stop error: No such process

$ sudo launchctl start com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon
launchctl start error: No such process

$ sudo ls -al /Library/LaunchDaemons

com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist isn't even in there.

So what now?

Thanks,
