I've contacted Parallels Support about this issue. The issue is linked to using a virtual Mac OS X machine on a USB 3.0 external hard drive, there are known issues with going to sleep using this scenario, according to Parallels Support. Cause & Solution: The issue is related to the VM Mac OS X...

Good day, My virtual machine of OS X won't properly complete the standby process and go into standby mode. It stops around 95% and causes the Mac to become unresponsive. Usually forcing the VM, then PD to terminate won't help the Mac from responding. A hard shut off by pressing the shutdown...

Please refer to this website, where I found the issue and have resolved it. Thank you

The second error (just for the completeness and since this thread is also linked to a Microsoft community support website)

Hello Brad, Thank you for your tip, I have not changed the startup disk to Boot Camp, so I went ahead and did that! It's a little annoying every try because I have to start the setup again and that takes a long time, then land at the blue screen and see the error above, followed by an error...

As others are expericing: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23426678#23426678 The error in german says: "PC must be repaired" - The required device is not connected or cannot be accessed. I assume that the setup cannot deal with the Mac setup. ... I am having problems updating to...

Thanks for the quick answer.

How can I prevent the monitor from going dark or into sleep when using Parallels Desktop? Thanks, Joe

Nope, I would like it to be included but not while I am using the VM. Not enough :D 2GB - 1GB for my VM and 1GB for my Mac. The problem I am having is the hard drive access, because it's doing backups while I am using my VM on the same harddrive and that slows my PC. When no backup is...

It slows down the virtual machine dramatically and the system overall. I have this VM on an external harddrive and when it backsup from this HD, because it slows down the VM. I did find a dashboard utility for easy access and turning on/off the TM but I was wondering if PD could be set to...

Is it possible to turn automatically turn off the time machine while any virtual machines are running?

Correction: No new drivers. Well silly me, those drivers are not the A97 version that Parallel Desktop requires. These drivers will work for the boot camp partition too but only when booted directly in it, so my suggestion is not to use them with PD, because they won't install and the driver...

New Sounds Drivers now available. Just to let you guys know, there are new sound drivers available for the Realtek HD driver. I will be trying these today and I will be posting my results later.

Thanks toonms for those tips, I am going to try disabling all those USB devices except the mouse and keyboard. I need those. In my case I did use the internal sound card though. I'm the only one when turning off smart mouse has no effect on the problem. I wish I had the same quality, it's not...

Go into options (configuration of virtual machine / bootcamp virtual machine), general and underneath the OS Name (or virtual machine name) choose the operating system type. Let me know what effect this has for you. I hope I got the names right correct above, I have Parallels Desktop in...

SmartMouse Thanks Shaddam for your message. I turned off smart mouse but unlike for you it had no effect on my PC. :-( I still the the crackles and sometimes even drop outs, so I am going to keep trying different things and also stay in touch with support and write back here if I find out...

Is it not under hardware when entering configuration in the virtual machine list? I am not at home so I can't try this to Monday evening but thanks for the tip. Shaddam if I disable the mouse integration then I can't use the mac mouse and need a seperate USB mouse or there is no mouse at all?

Getting there... :-) Thanks Shaddam, the suggestion helped me too, likewise I have much improved sound, however not satisfactory. If you play games the sound might not need to be as perfect as when you're listening to music, especially music at quiet parts is ruined by crackles. Windows should...

I am trying to get am older game to work; Age of Empires II. I installed the two available updates. I can get it working but not well. It's slow, colors are wrong, red dots everywhere and there is a black square around the mouse. Also a strange thing is when I launch the game the first time I...

Things I Tried Hi Peter - correct, that is the same driver that is on my PC. AC '97. Boot Camp When I boot directly into the Windows 7 Boot Camp parition however the PC uses the "Realtek HD Drivers" and the quality is much better but I never had issues if I booted directly into Windows. I...
