Final Release Still Crashes With SlingPlayer

This is the third computer, the second model, the second version of SlingPlyer. No matter what the setting or configuration it still crashes. Ethernet, airport, bridged or host only, lots of vm little vm, large swap file or none, no matter. No one seems capable of telling me why. Very frustrating.

 

VM compressor?

If recall correctly, those of us who payed in advance should also get the VM compressor for free.
Am I right, if so, how do we get it?

Installing finale version now - Good luck to you guys.

1.0 change list ?

Is there a list of the changes since the last version,

EG what was fixed in 1.0 ?

 

Parallels Compressor is included into GA and integrated with VM application.

Parallel's Team,

Congratulations on this well earned milestone ! I am a Happy and Power user of Parallels. Just one question ... are future upgrades free for everyone who bought this product ?

Also, it will be great if you can highlight briefly what were the changes in this release version over RC2.

You have an awesome team at work !!!

Thanks

Regards

Nice job on the final release, but what is GA and where is Compressor? I don't understand what you're refering to.

 

GA means general avalaible product - which was released today. And Compressor is included into package. You can run it from menu VM->Run Parallels Compressor. Please check User Guide for more details.

 

Congratulations on hitting this milestone. I know you guys have worked hard to get here, and your customers are all reaping the benefits of your hard work.

 

Thanks for the final release. Problem, I cannot get my Airport working anymore, never had any problems with the earlier versions...

 

I'm wondering the same thing. I certainly wouldn't expect upgrades to be free forever, but certainly the initials ones will, right?

 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Congratulations!!!
Parallel works great. I'm so happy for you guys that you made it, for yourselves and for us users.

Keep up the good work,

Ziv Kitaro

 

Well Done!

Congratulations on GA, guys. While you naturally see problems on a support forum, I've been using Parallels Desktop for Mac for a week now and I haven't seen a glitch with XP Pro SP2 --- and I think I've been fairly abusive, installing Visual Studio 2005, IIS, and SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition. In short, I'm able to do full-blown Windows development on my Mac without rebooting, and build a large faster than my 1.6GHz Dell running XP natively.

Thanks for a great product at a fantastic price!

 

Minor upgrades will be free for sure, next major versions probably won't be free.
