Parallels error message on Lion

dansmart · Jul 21, 2011

Hi there,

I'm getting the following error when I try to run a Windows 7 instance on Parallels:

Your virtual machine may run slow because virtualization support is disabled on your Mac.

For optimal performance, please enable hardware virtualization support in your Mac's firmware.

then

Unable to load the Parallels driver.

Restart your Mac and try again.

I'm running Parallels Desktop Build 6.0.11994

What's the situation here? I need to get this resolved quickly as I test websites on Windows 7 via Parallels, and I have invested some cash in the Parallels/Windows 7 solution.

I have exactly the same issue,

I use Windows on Parallel for Autodesk 3DS Max for my studies and need it up and running as soon as possible.

What is Build 6.0.12094 and how do you do it?

MDesjardins · Jul 29, 2011

Build 6.0.12094 is the latest update released on July 13. I updated by clicking on "Check for updates..." under the Parallels desktop menu. Some people in this thread are already running this build though...
