Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3094 Beta 2 is available for download.

yeah, post a torrent please. i wish parallels would torrent their files, much more efficient and scalable!!

download page has been dugg. digg.com is the culprit.
 
I'm still getting a BSOD 0x0000007B when starting Windows in Parallels. :( In addition, I can't even boot with Boot Camp. After the progress bar, the screen just remains black.

I wish I at least knew why this is so... as of now, Parallels is completely unusable to me and a few others, while most other people have it working.

Wingdo,

Tools for Boot Camp are not needed anymore. If you have them installed, please deinstall prior to first boot via Parallels Desktop.

do we need to uninstall boot camp within the windows environment? if so, can do, just wanted to check because it'll involve two more activations. one to get into bootcamp, one to get back. :)

The select all worked once, but now none of the command+keystrokes are working afer a restart. I did update the tools.

Looks good so far. Was pretty shocked to see my Visual Studio icons in the OS X dock. Then I quickly turned that feature off. With 3 dev VMs open all the time, thats too many icons for my dock.

And I'm depressed to see the Parallel's dock icons still all named the same thing. Oh well, the rest of the app is very solid.

I might even try my TomTom under Windows with USB 2...

Canon MF4150 USB 2.0 scanner works!

Nice job!

My Canon multifunction device did not work with any of the previous releases, but works like a charm with this one. I continue to be amazed by Parallels.
 
Arrgghhh. Full screen mode is completely broken on multiple displays.

I run without coherency (I have 3 VMs running). If I set a VM to full screen, it now ALWAYS grabs my primary display. In the past it would grab the display where the window lived when I pushed the full screen button. Now I can't get the VM on the display i want.
 
It's not working...

I'm still unable to boot off of my fat32 partition with the latest build. Same error as last build "Unable to open disk image Boot Camp!"

We have this same problem.

Used to use Parallels on 2nd monitor, now it always grabs the primary display when we go to full screen.

Definately a bug.
 
I feel I owe it to the developers and the other members of this forum to report that I had an unbelievably successful initial install of this version of the beta using my Boot Camp partition. The VM came up immediately, and automatically installed the Parallels Tools on the Boot Camp disk. You have no mouse or keyboard control during that time, but the process is automatic, including a reboot. You have to be very patient, as it took several minutes to complete on my MB Pro 2.16 Core Duo. Once the reboot is finished, you have mouse and keyboard, including any keyboard mappings modified to do Ctrl-Alt-Del in Boot Camp. That was excellent. I did a reactivation of my off-the-shelf Win XP when prompted, and so far so good. I tried out all my usual software and works fine. The coherency mode makes it seem like a dual OS desktop, as intended. I am now VERY impressed with Parallels. Thanks for getting Boot Camp disk utilization right, Parallels team.

I still cannot HOTSYNC my PALM TREO. Same bug as in the latest beta. Worked fine in 1970!!!
Not only can I not HotSync my Tungsten T3, but the hack I used successfully in build 3036, typing "sudo kextunload -b com.parallels.kext.ConnectUSB" in the terminal" no longer works.
 
I still can't use boot camp, on the BIOS loading screen I get "Boot from hard drive... Error loading operating system"
 
Coherence is disabled and won't allow enabling. Tried uninstalling the tools and reinstalling...still no dice. Arrgh. Mac Mini, core duo, 10.4.8 w/ XP Pro on parallels.
