I updated but the problem still exists. If I open any Windows app and minimize it, I see the Live Screenshot rather than a dot under the application's icon. In the attached example I opened and then minimized Excel.

I'm using Parallels 12.1.1 in Coherence mode and if I remove a Windows app from the Dock, reopen the app and minimize it, I see a "Live screenshot" for the app in the right-hand section of the Dock rather than a normal icon with a dot at the bottom in the main section of the dock. Is there a fix...

As far as I can tell, all Windows programs (both Office and non-Office) but not OS X programs.

When I am type in a Windows application like Excel 2010, and I hold down the shift key and begin to type a word like HOT, the O comes out o if though I'm still holding down the shift key. The same is true for any letter that follows H. What do I need to set or unset in order to avoid that annoyance.

Today i had to completely restore my iMac hard drive from Time Machine and while I have backups of of my Windows data files stored off line, it seems that I never backed up my pvm file and/or whatever else it takes to run the Parallels application. I recently upgraded to Parallels 11. Can I...

I'm using Parallels 10 and I'd like to map some control key, let's say Ctrl+U, to be the same as pressing Command-F. How do I do that?

Parallels Desktop 10 for MAC, Windows XP (VM), Yosemite 10.10.1 On occasion I will find that if I go to Finder|All My Files it will be blank and when that happens Spotlight also can not find anything. When I then try the normal method to reindex the MAC via Preferences|Spotlight|Privacy and...

MAC OS X 10.10.1, Parallels Version 10.1.1 (28614) As you probably know, the "All my files" section of Finder is based on the index of the files on the MAC. The problem is that some unknown action when performed in my Windows XP VM causes the "All my files" list to be emptied and nothing can be...

I'm using Parallels 9 Build 9.0.24172 to run a Windows XP session in non-Coherence mode on my iMAC. Every once in a while I find that there is a black window behind the XP window which is the same size as the XP window but it is immovable and unresponsive to everything I've tried in my attempts...

My wife and I each have MACs and both are a part of a home network. I use OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and she uses OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Both of us have a Windows XP VM created by Parallels. In my case I use build 9.0.24172 and in her case it's build 8.0.18608. Now, with that out of the way...

There are two MACs on our home network and both have Parallels Windows XP Virtual Machines. I've shared a file in one VM to the network but for some reason I can't see the shared folder from the other VM. Any ideas why not?

It's a statement and it's build 9.0.23136 which you can get to by doing Parallels Desktop|Check for updates.

There's an update that's available that fixes the problem.

A day, a week, a year? Who knows?

I've peen informed by Parallels that this is a known problem that will be fixed in the next upgrade.

I reported the error and was given the standard answer of "reinstall Parallels Tools" which didn't work.

It also occurs with Excel 2010 on Windows XP.

I am also experiencing slower graphics with V8 than with V7. For example there are several "old school" games that display message windows and you can see those windows appearing rather than it being seemingly instantaneous like it was before. I am on build 8.0.18101

Every couple of days or so my XP session shuts down with this error message. I can correct the problem by following some of the instructions in the article it Problem ID 416 article it refers to, but I'd like to be able to prevent it from happening. Do you have any suggestions? I am using...

No, I don't. It's just a problem with Coherence. There are other problems that you maybe aware of when using Coherence. 1. When 'Use Crystal Mode' is selected there is no Parallels 'Check for Updates' option, and sometimes when applications like Excel 2010 are open I can't page between...
