I have tried removing the icon from the desktop. It doesn't help. That IE desktop icon isn't normal. It's tied into the registry somehow, and every time it is re-created, it is created with the flawed right menu. Windows XP doesn't behave that way on real hardware, but it does on...

Trying to turn off internet explorer, and then turning it back on, did not change anything. The same right-click menu is displayed. Now, one more problem: We have had two different VM's on the machine. One is called "Historic (backup) Windows XP", and the other is "Primary Windows XP"...

Installing ... (I'm surprised no one asked me to upload the machine for your engineers to ponder over.) Ok, the USB is working now. In fairness, it's a new printer, and a new driver. (Now the HP j5780 all-in-one. Scanner works!) IE's desktop icon has a right click menu of Create shortcut...

No, I could not get transporter to work. I took a drive image and made a 40 gig hard drive file, and then had to do a repair install from a window install CD. (The old system died). I've done a "remove SP 2", "Repair install", "Re-apply patches from windows update" sequence. Start ->...

This will only give me printer access. I'm doing that with Bonjour right now. I need scanner access. That means that I have to get the USB to work. Unless there's a way to fake the scanner across the parallel port interface. (Hey, there were parallel port scanners way back when). Do you...

Alright, here is the latest. Since a number of the problems started after installing SP2, I uninstalled SP2. That did not solve the problems, but it did allow me to reinstall windows (my CD is an SP1 CD). A fresh upgrade reinstallation, done from within windows, both to maximize the "save...

The only "number" was just that line of text. Bonjour works, sort-of, for printing, but all the pages come out in reverse order. Ruins checks. Bonjour doesn't help for the scanner (it's an all-in-one device).

OS is 10.4.11 Parallels is the latest non-beta Reinstalled parallels tools USB BSOD is "Device driver has pool"

The system I'm working with had problems, so it first got a reinstall of XP SP 1 from a CD, and then had the SP2 download applied to it. I'm hoping someone will know what's causing these items: 1. Parallel's shared folders don't work right. Trying to access them either gives me a "You do not...

Crash -- "A Device Driver has Pool" I got a spectacular BSOD that is bigger than the blue screen, and scrolls off the top. I saw the message just now say "A device driver has pool" Situation: I connected a USB printer to the microsoft windows (XP, service pack 2). This same printer was...

I managed this. See http://forum.parallels.com/showpost.php?p=89301&postcount=8

Memory allocation in windows VM So let me see if I understand this correctly: Given a choice between letting Mac OS do the swapping, and windows just using Mac VM (large windows memory), or letting the guest windows do internal swapping, to reduce the amount of Mac VM swapping (small windows...

I got it to work. Repeat: I was able to take an image of a dead hard drive (obtained by dd with conv=noerror,sync and running overnight), turn it into a .hdd directory, and do a repair install of windows into that. Brief summary (I'm not at the machine in question right now): 1. Create...

There seem to be two different official Parallels forums. The other one has almost nothing, yet seems to be easier to get to by accident. This one: http://forum.parallels.com The other one: http://community.parallels.com/forum/

That's good to know. I did not see that option. Where do I find the option to turn /dev/rdisk2 (or whatever) into a .hdd? Incidentally, "dd" on OsX has "noerror" and "sync", and it looks like a combination of those will bypass IO errors. So, that leaves the question: How do you go from a...

Bump I am now in the exact same situation -- physical hard drive, dead computer. But mine is a little different. The physical drive is dying, and has I/O errors. That's not a 100% certainty, but it's the simplest explanation that explains what's going on. As such, attempting to use the...
