Login and wait until Parallels Tools are installed.To do this, open Virtual Machine menu->Configure. Set the virtual machine CPU number to 1 in VM configuration.A lot of people are reporting that they are getting BSODs (blue screens of death) with their Windows VMs after upgrading the Parallels application. After changing Parallels to bridged networking mode, it worked fine and I could make Interwebs. My shared networking wasn't working even though the host machine's Airport connection was fine. I didn't have any VMs on the 2009 Mac Pro machine, but my MacBook Pro's Windows XP VM updated with what seemed to be no issues. Mac Pro 2009 Xeon 5500 dual quad 2.66 GHzĪll existing users will need to update their virtual machines and reinstall Parallels Desktop tools to get access to the new features in 5.Has Parallels learned from its past mistakes, or is this another potentially great release buried under a mound of bugs? Read on to find out. There wasn't an open public beta, so no one really knew what to expect. It was no secret that version 4 had many problems on release, and Parallels Desktop 5 did seem to drop out of the sky and onto our desks.

That's really not a long list, and the documentation's "What's New" section does feel more padded than most. Crystal window mode and MacLook interface option.OpenGL 2.1 support for Linux client VMs.DirectX 9.0c with Shader Model 3 support.Multi-monitor support for Full Screen and Coherence/Crystal modes.Windows Aero WDDM driver support for Vista and Windows 7.Excluding the token interface tweaks, the main features in 5 break down like this: With version 4 of Parallels Desktop having come out less than a year ago, a lot of existing users are wondering what, other than official Windows 7 support, makes version 5 worth the $49.99 upgrade. On to the task at hand: the fifth release of well-known Mac virtualization package, Parallels Desktop. But you're not here to read about my dreams. Then Windows Aero calls to me in a fuzzy voice like that teacher from Charlie Brown.
I'm having this recurring virtualization nightmare where a penguin wants to share something with me but can't. After last week's review of VMWare Fusion 3 and this week's review of Parallels Desktop 5, it's been a weird couple of weeks.
