    Hello,

    I used the assistent based transfer through an exernal HDD and installation seemed to run just fine.

    However when booting up the VM all programs writing to the HDD dont seem to work.
    Browsers (IE, Safari) wont launch at all, and other programs like Word try to reinstall themselves and close with an error message.
    Other programs run fine. (Visio, VPN client, ...)

    I got latest OSX on a Macbook Pro 15 Retina and the latest Parallels trial version.

    The PC i try to virtualize is a Windows 7 Enterprise with Bitlocker enabled (cant turn that off).
    I tried the search function but couldnt really find anything usefull regarding programs not launching.
    An other software I am dependent on closes with runtime error 481 "Invalid picture"

    Any ideas??

    Need to solve this within trial periode :D

    Hi Martin JP,

    Please follow the steps provided below :

    - Uninstall all native drivers from the VM (Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Uninstall native drivers).
    - Open Command Prompt (Click Start -> type cmd -> Right click on cmd -> Run as Administrator).
    - Type "sfc /scannow" (without quotes) and hit enter.
    - Restart the VM.

    Thanks,
    Abdul
