Hi guys,
I recently purchase Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac and successfully installed Windows 7 with it on my iMac. However, after I restart my iMac and try to run the Parallels Desktop application. The following message appear:
"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/8089. If the problem persists, contact the Parallels support team for assistance."
Then I follow the provided link (http://kb.parallels.com/8089) and input the first command:
"sudo launchctl stop com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon"
Password is prompted. After I entered my password, the following message appears
"launchctl stop error: No such process"
I have also tried to reinstall Parallels Desktop 6 three times. Same problem happens!
Please HELP!!!!
