If I visit a page with Flash elements (let's use http://www.flashexample.com/ as an example) the page hangs, and does not load (using Chrome) In IE9, or Firefox, it works fine. Visiting the same page on my host machine OS (OSX Mountain Lion) in Chrome, works fine. This only started happening after upgrading Parallels to v8 Using Windows 7 as guest OS
Do you mean this problem started with version 8 or did you really just now upgrade to version 7? I had the same problem in Parallels version 8, which made me move back to version 7 where that scenario is not a problem for me.
Same issue I am having the same issue. Java and Flash both fail to load in Chrome. Parallels 8, windows 7 guest.
Weird thing is that a reboot of my guest system seems to have cleared it up. I'll update if it happens again.
