Hi, I'm using Parallels Workstation 2.2 Beta on Windows XP host. Inside the VM runs Windows 98SE. I've installed the Parallels Tools and noticed a few things: First of all the Video Driver status is unknown instead of enabled. How can I enable this support. The display settings in control panel, however claims,that I'm using "Parallels Video Adpater, 2.0". Second - I'm missing the Mouse Synchronization in the status panel of Parallel Tools. The User Guide shows me a picture where this driver is enabled - why not in my case. I digged a little deeper in the VMTools.iso and found that there is no such driver for Win98 - is this correct? The mouse cursor, however, is sometimes very slow or sticks w/o moving. Third - the Network Driver status is missing, however I can access the network! The next one is the missing Shared Folder Tool. This entry is not listed either. Ah, yes, the configuration of the VM says it already: it's not available for this kind of guest My next problem is the missing sound although the status bar icon is flashing while playing some sound files in Win98, I cannot hear anything. BTW running AMD 3700+ with 2Gig RAM.
No hints or statements from official side for any of those issues? I will try the latest (stable) of Parallels Workstation and see if it worked this way. Report follows. You ask why I need Win98 today, the answer is simple: the kids are playing some old games which cannot be installed in WinXP anymore... BTW a mouse driver for Win98 would be a big improvement to avoid those sticking on the screen!
