I have not been able to successfully get a USB Philips SpeechMike Pro Plus installed and working in Parallels in my Windows XP VM. I need to use it asap for dictation in a program in Windows. I am running Parallels Desktop for Mac 5 on an iMac (and also a MacBook Pro) running Snow Leopard. Thanks.

I dictate into IE. The internet page has a little window that has all the typical controls (rec, play, pause, rewind). Normally, the buttons on the dictation microphone control the recording. Once I hit the End button on the microphone, it then shows a brief progress bar on the IE page and then...

I just checked. I'm already using Internet Explorer 7

Sorry, I'm a novice and not sure about some of your suggestions. 1. "Backup original VM folder". How is that done? 2. "Some steps to test...". Is what you then write the first step... specifically, set acceleration level to "disabled"?

Any other suggestions to get the SpeechMike to work for this application in XP/Parallels? I'm not sure where else to turn. I hate to think I'm going to have to travel with both my Mac and a PC laptop. Marc

Thanks. I followed those directions. Accessible. The control buttons on the Mike (Rec, pause, rewind, end, etc) were non functioning. However, it was able to record with me selecting these controls (rec, pause, etc.) with my mouse in the program. Unfortunately, it still crashed after the audio...

I'm sorry, but I'm confused. Yes, the microphone is on the Mac side. However, this dictation site, which is also the site where I review patient information and sign reports, is not functional in the Mac OS. It also won't interface with Word correctly to let me sign reports. That is why I'm...

I did as you instructed. Now when I boot the VM and use IE and the website, my Mike no longer is recognized. I checked the sound setup in Windows control panel and the external mike (SpeedMike Pro) is no longer an option for audio or voice input/recording.

Main memory 2048MB. Video memory 64MB. I already have it set for optimized VM performance, in the Advanced setting.

Any thoughts? Basically, the voice recordings have "skipping" and Internet Explorer quits/crashes after it uploads the recording (and at other more random times). This is crucial for me to fix. Thanks, Marc

I am a Parallels novice. I am trying to use Windows XP in Parallels to do some crucial work on my MacBook Pro (2.6 processor with 4GB memory, OS 10.5.3). It is a web based Radiology Information System application I need to use to dictate medical/radiology reports, as well as review patient...

No input or suggestions? Thanks, Marc

Never mind. The next time I start the VM, it automatically started installing "Tools". Marc

I'm new to Parallels. I just installed the 3.0 update Build 5582. Early in the install process it said something like, "Be sure to reinstall Parallel tools in Parallel Desktop after this install". How do I do that, or do I need to do that. I now start Desktop and it shows the new update to 5582...

I'm new to both Mac and Parallels for Mac. I have a new MacBook Pro and have Windows XP Home Edition installed on the VM. I assume I need to install antivirus and security software in the Windows OS enviroment. I have used Norton products on all my PC's (Norton 360, most recently). Is that a...

It appears to have been a problem with the disc. I got the Mac to see the disc briefly but it would still not work, and eventually kick out the disc. It wouldn't work in my PC either. I went and got a new disc. Actually, I decided to switch to XP. It installed without problems. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the tip. It didn't work. In "disc utility" it shows the CD/DVD drive but doesn't seem to show anything in it. When I go through the image creation process, it says it can't create it. It behaves as though it isn't even recognizing that there is a disc in the drive. After about a...

I am new to mac. I have a new MacBook Pro with Leopard. I have installed Parallels 3.0. I start Parallels desktop and it takes me through the install OS process. However, when it come time for me to insert the Windows disc it continues to tell me that either the DVD/CD drive is not ready or...
