Hi. I'm having a couple of serious problems with build 5582 on Leopard:
1) I continually get the
"Parallels Desktop is unable to operate properly since it cannot communicate with one of its drivers. Seems that drivers are inconsistent with the currently installed version of Parallels Desktop. To overcome this issue, reinstall Parallels Desktop and start it by selecting Finder->Applications->Parallels->Parallels Desktop."
error message. After each reinstallation, Parallels generally works just once. The second time I try to run it, I get the error message. Thus, I basically have to reinstall every time I want to use Parallels.
Sometimes, even reinstalling doesn't solve the problem. I have to reboot OS X and then reinstall Parallels. Also, generally, the behavior seems extremely erratic, and sometimes I get the CPU hogging behavior that others have mentioned.
2) Parallels takes over my CD-Rom drive, such that OS X does not see it. To use the CD-Rom in OS X, I need to shut down Parallels.
I've looked through this forums and tried various, more "complete" uninstallation and reinstallation procedures that have been mentioned. Nothing seems to have worked. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
Dan
PS I also wanted to echo what seems to be common sentiment recently in this forum. SWSoft, in the future please don't claim compatibility with a new operating system when there are this many bugs. People depend on these things to work, and these problems have seriously affected me. I certainly would have waited to upgrade to Leopard if I knew Parallels would have been this buggy (and I don't see how SWSoft could not have realized it was this buggy given how many different problems people are having). I really think you should temporarily remove the claims of compatibility on your website, until you get this sorted out.
