    I have ported my Windows 7 x64 VM from Fusion 3.0 to Parallels 5.0. everything is lovely and on my tests the only issues i have are sound and printers. The first - sound is a niggle, the second is quite severe. I have no printers at all. I cannot even print to the MAC Connected printer. What I really need is to be able to print to PDF. I was using Bullzip PDF for this however now I cannot even install it - error: local print spooler service is not started. If it try to manually start it it starts successfully however stops again very quickly. Any one any ideas?

    Oh for a bonus point - a lot of the sound passing through from the VM is very stuttery. OK I accept that getting Windows Media Centre working and playing avi's with Dolby 5.1 may be a stretch for a VM however Fusion was much better at this.
