I am on a MacBook with OS X, version 10.5.5. Windows XP was installed by the retailer and I've had no problem. I installed MS Office (student edition) myself a week ago with no problem. Today when I opened Windows (which worked ) however and clicked on the Start menu, this action put lines across my screen. Trying subsequent actions just added more lines and now I can get a fully load, clean desktop and nothing works. Please attached. I feel like I might have clicked on the Start menu a second earlier than it was all finished loading. Any help?! Thanks!
Please download build 5608 following link bellow: http://download.parallels.com/v3/en/GA/Parallels-Desktop-5608-Mac-en.dmg and reinstall Parallels Desktop as described in kb http://kb.parallels.com/en/4790
Symbols instead of text on Desktop Thanks for the reply. I followed the steps as indicated and now my Windows desktop has symbols instead of text. Please see attached. Help?
It looks like Windows Font cache corruption, Hope this somehow helps http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/03/how-to-fix-windows-xp-font-problems.html You can browse internet of course for another solution
Desktop image also gone Hello... I failed to mention that after performing the steps originally described, the icon for Windows on my desktop turned from an image into a blank page icon. Also, when it is going into Parallels mode the screen before the Windows desktop reads "Suspended." Might there be something else going on as well? thanks!
I performed the original steps of the build and reinstalling the Parallels desktop. That's when the image disappeared for the Windows icon and when I started getting the "Suspended" note. I have not yet tried the fix for the Font corruption... the link did not show exactly how to do that so before I messed around with that step, I had just wanted to point out what I had not mentioned before. Are you asking if I have done the font repair? thanks!
