Thank you! The .iso file that you linked installedvery smoothly. I greatly appreciate the help.

Per instructions from the reseller that I bought the Windows 7 Pro 64-bit license from, I downloaded the .iso install file from their website and used an ISO-to-USB utility they recommended to burn it onto a 32GB USB thumb drive, set to make the thumb drive bootable. I then started Parallels...

Actually I tried searching here on the phrasing of the error statement, and saw posts (all quite old) from people who encountered the error when installing Windows 7. It seems that a corrupt .iso file was the most frequent cause. I downloaded again from the reseller, but got the same error when...

I bought a license for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit from an authorized Microsoft reseller, and was given a product key and a link where I downloaded the .iso file from the reseller's website. When I initiated the install in Parallels Desktop, setup started normally, but soon there was a window...

That worked. Thanks!

Thanks. Actually I didn't see an option to remove the network adapter, but I did see a menu option for disconnecting the network, which was already set.

I have Windows XP Pro SP3 installed now in Parallels Desktop. For security, I want to disable its connection to the internet. What is the best way to do this? Should it be done within Windows, or is there a setting on Parallels Desktop to remove network connectivity?

Thanks, I'll do that.

I'm interested in running Windows XP in Parallels Desktop on my Intel-based Mac to support use of old 16-bit software. I have access to Windows XP Pro SP3 in either 32-bit or 64-bit version. The Mac hardware is Intel 64-bit. Would there be a strong reason for choosing one or the other, 32-bit or...

Just an update on this topic as the OP. I tried reinstalling Parallels Tools, but this didn't help. Besides general slowness, after this I was now seeing Windows freeze every few seconds when the mouse/touchpad was moved. I tried different mice without improvement. Since my other VMs (Ubuntu...

I've been running Windows 10 Home 19041 under Parallels Desktop Pro 17.1.0 on a 2018 i9-based MacBook Pro. Until recently this was under macOS Catalina, but I've since installed Monterey and am now running macOS 12.0.1. Immediately after the macOS update I've been seeing *major* speed issues...

Maria, thank you for the message. While I was waiting for your response, I did the following: 1) Removed Parallels Desktop.app from the Mac's Applications folder. 2) Reinstalled Parallels Desktop 15 from an installer downloaded from parallels.com. 3) Went to the Mac's...

Some additional information for my question: If I try to launch Parallels Desktop, a box appears that reads: Parallels Desktop Starting ... But nothing further happens after many minutes. The MacBook's fan starts fairly soon after attempting to launch it. If I move the "Windows 10.pvm" file...

Today I was running Windows 10 in Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac. After attempting to access an unusually large directory, Windows hung for an unusually long time. The only way I found to exit was to use macOS's Force Quit on Parallels. After rebooting the Mac, I now find that Parallels Desktop...

Thank you, technical report 291762150 just sent.

I noticed in Parallels Desktop 14 that when I selected the menu item to create a Mint 19 virtual machine, it automatically gave the root user the name "Parallels" without asking me for input. I need to give the root account a different name. Is there a way to do this as part of the install...

Looks like that fixed it. Thanks!

I'm running Windows 10 under Parallels Desktop 14 in macOS Mojave. In Windows 10, when I select the menu option to Shut Down, it actually restarts and a notification box with the Parallels logo appears that says, "'Windows 10' was restarted. The virtual machine processor was reset by the...

In this case, there is no CD-rom permanently installed on the Mac, only one that I connect by USB. The .iso image I used to install DOS 5.0 under Parallels was not loaded off a CD-rom, but rather was in the Mac file system. The only things in config.sys are device=himem.sys, dos=high and...

Thanks. I eventually got it sorted out and used "format c: /s" to format a C:\ drive. At this point I have two questions. 1) When I now start the DOS 5.0 VM, it opens at an A:\ prompt. I can also change drives to the C:\ drive that I partitioned and formatted. I understand that C:\ is a...
