Problem 1: Skype is showing a broken login screen:
- After starting Skype i get a window with a cyan to green fade In the upper half and black in the lower half but no text.
- I found in this post ( https://forum.parallels.com/threads/macosx-high-sierra-guest-graphics-issues.344640/#post-865475 ) that adding --disable-gpu as parameter to the command in the terminal might help. That solved the problem for the login screen.
- Is there a possibility to start Skype with that parameter without needing the terminal?
Problem 2: Adobe shows a error message after start then a big grey box and can neither used nor stopped.
- Adobe starts and i can see the main window with last files. After some seconds an error message box occurs with the message: "Adobe has encountered a problem. Some features may not work as expected.". After pressing "OK" a big grey box occurs and nothing is clickable in the Adobe window. The menu entry "Quit Adobe Acrobat Reader" is not clickable.
- Same try as for Skype above: The main window is useable. After clicking on the "Welcome"-PDF to edit it the again the message from above. A greyish window is above the viewed PDF (this time with window decoration). After closing that same message again. OK -> greyish window without window decoration (not close able). Again the menu entry "Quit Adobe Acrobat Reader" is not clickable.
- Tried reinstallation -> same results.
- Any ideas?
Problem 3: Shared folder from host is sometimes not available from guest.
- Via "System Settings > General > File Sharing" i shared a folder from host to the guest.
- Usually the guest finds the host and the shared folder is available in the guest. Sometimes the host is not reachable from the guest.
- If i am logged in to a WIFI network with the host it seems to work often.
- If WIFI is disabled accessing the host from the guest fails often.
- The Mac will be used in a setting where in the most cases the network is not provided over WLAN. So this might be a problem.
