suleiman Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 While it really is great how quickly this development team is releasing updates, the latest one seems to have broken more than it fixes: http://forum.parallels.com/thread1240.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/16336-parallels-beta-6/#findComment-105188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimms Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I've not yet had success with any release of Parallels. The closest I've gotten is almost being able to finish installing XP. Beta 6 has made this even worse, the application wont load now. I get this error: "Parallels Workstation is unable to operate properly since it cannot communicate with one of its drivers. Try to restart the application to overcome this issue. If restart doesn't help, re-install Parallels Workstation."

domino Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Using it since I got my mail from them. It finally support ActiveSync 4.1 and my WM2003 pda phone :cool:. Now I'm just waiting for usb webcam support and Skype will be running with video. I wonder if they take any considerations with people giving feedback using non-Apple hardware. Anyway, if they they do read this, when adding 2 serial ports the application eats up 100% of CPU time. Adding a parallel port eats 7%-10% of cpu time. I'm still waiting for xgl-server/compiz support under Linux host.

quixos Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 call me hasty, but i bought a license yesterday. i can use it on my power mac when they become available. bootcamp is already obsolete, parallels is the future.

netdog Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Beta 6 works like a charm for me. They have been doing great since Beta 3, with the exception of some serious virtual memory bug that caused a huge number of kernel panics in Beta 5. With beta 6, once you get the IP issues sorted, works like a charm.

mlowry Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I noticed the following problem after upgrading to beta 6. The mouse pointer did not appear when in the Parallels Workstation window. I opened the advanced display preferences in Windows XP, and turned the accelleration slider down a notch on the Troubleshooting tab. This fixed it.

Korrupted Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 The bridged networking glitch is the only thing holding me back from downloading it(host only networking doesn't work for me for some reason, on both my iHack and my MBP)... read about it here Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/16336-parallels-beta-6/#findComment-105276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
