Firmware improvements & fixes for a single OS on

Dear Creative Labs,
it is to me, personally, a strange behaviour to recognize
that you decided to only apply firmware improvements
and bug fixes on your device (Zen Touch) for a single
OS version, namely Windows XP.
I understand all the implications of subscription
services etc. BUT all I want as _your_ customer is my
Zen Touch having fixes and improved funcionality,
deli'vering on the promise of the product. I don't want
to be forced to buy a new OS to be able to run your product.
Maybe that sounds strange to you, too. But having watched
the forum for quite some while now, I believe I'm not far
off what your customers are asking for.
So please start listen to your customers and release
firmware versions, that possibly may not add new features
(subscription service, MTP) but will improve and fix bugs.
Regards
Zen Touch Firmware .0.03

gPhoto coders are making attempts to support the "strange" MTP dialect spoken by eg Zen Touch or Micro.
There may be a version in the future that allows you to use Zens with MTP on linux.

Fix for RAM removable Open Firmware Password?

Hello people from Apple Discussions,
I have a burning question that has been tormenting me for years.
Mac OSX is branded as supposedly the safest operating system around today.
What completely astounds me though is that any user password can be quickly hacked, by booting into the Single User Mode where you immediately gain root access.
In my search for a fix I have come across semi-solutions like:
"install an open firmware password!"
I felt relieved, reassured and assumed my problem was solved.
Unfortunately this is bloody useless because one could remove a RAM module and voila! Gone is the Open Firmware Password.
What alternative (other than to permanently glue to ram module in place) is there to this security hole that exists today?
Thank you all very much for reading.
I hope this gets fixed, for the sake of all mac users.
Very Kind regards,
Luuc.

I don't believe Open Firmware passwords are stored in RAM. I believe it's an electrically programmable EAROM. Pulling a RAM module shouldn't affect the security of the computer.
You can take it to ridiculous levels. What's to stop someone from just removing the disk drives? If someone has physical access to your computer then they can get into it and see anything that's not encrypted.

Fix for Thunderbolt OTA firmware update , when receiving an error message

Hi, my name is Lou, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post a solution or fix for Thunderbolt users that are unable to get their firmware update OTA..
For the last 2 weeks, when i got word that the (OTA) Over The Air firmware update should be coming out, i started going on my phones setting to check for new updates and started to receive an Error message, stating to check back when service was available, well Verizons attempt at fixing the issue was to to a hard factory reset, which didn't work, they also had me go to the local Verizon Wireless store and switch out my SIM card, and that didnt work, and they also tried Forcing the update to y phone, and again No resolve.. There last solution was to send me a refurbished phone, which I am strongly against, cuz I dont want a used piece of equipment, ... well anyways, I found the solution for the fix of getting the update downloaded to your phone, from www.thunderboltforums.com ,
You first need to downlaod an app from the market titled LTE On/Off app, install it. Once installed, I turned of my WiFi on the phone, then opened the LTE On/Off app, and rememer the original setting that its on, bcuz thats the setting u will have to set it at, when your update begins... Select the CDMA mode, not the CDMA(PRL) mode... then exit the app.... By selecting the CDMA mode only, this should make your either 3G or 4G signal switch to a 1X symbol.. then, i restarted my phone, .... i dont think restarting is necessary, but i did it anyways... when it restarted, the signal setting was still at 1X, then I went to setting, aSoftware Update, then Check Now, and within a minute or so, the Download option appeared. once I started the downlaod, I let about a minute pass by, then I went and opened one last time, the LTE On/Off app, and switched the setting to its default setting, and mine was the 4G option and the 4G signal kicked in, and the 78Mb download completed within 3 minutes... hopes this helps... It helped me...

I could be wrong but I believe this has been covered but thanks for sharing still...

I Use the last FCX but I have a prob when I export (share) to dvd the result is over 4GB for a single DVD is about 6 to 9 Gb for a short film of 1h so what can I do to fix this

I Use the last FCX but I have a prob when I export (share) to dvd the result is over 4GB for a single DVD is about 6 to 9 Gb for a short film of 1h so what can I do to fix this thnks

These "Share" files are accessed and used by the Create Disc app.
Create Disc is buried in the FCP X package.
Applications>FCP X>Show Package Contents>Contents>Plugins>Compressor>Compressor Kit.bundle>Show Package Contents>Embedded Apps>Create Disc
I'm wondering if having the Compressor Application on a Mac makes a difference to having just FCP X on a Mac and the use of the Sharing feature.
I have Compressor loaded and find that DVD and Bluray burns from Share without any glitches as some are experiencing.

Why new firmware may be a good fix for screen problems

When I read on the Internet Thursday that some people had reported that the firmware had fixed their dark screen problems, I wondered if this was possible, and was this a good fix. I had taken my Touch to the Apple store earlier, and had the screen problem confirmed, but no exchange was possible at the moment, because the Touch was out of stock.
Where I work we have a number of small LCD screens that have a narrow viewing angle like the Touch, but being commercial monitors, also have knobs to control brightness and most importantly contrast. I started playing with the contrast and was surprised that I was able to exactly duplicate the problem my Touch had, just with contrast. The contrast adjustment on this narrow view LCD controlled viewing angle, and I could duplicate the negative image thing perfectly. I now had great hope that the firmware would in fact fix my Touch.
When I got home from work, I installed the firmware update to my week 36 Touch, and was thrilled to see all video issues gone. We need to remember that Apple has a lot more control over the LCD display through software than we have. We only have brightness! I mean if you had to adjust the contrast knob on your new computer monitor would you label the monitor as defective?
I believe that Apple knew by serial number which Touches needed adjustment to the video based on LCD origin, and applied them with this software. They merely tuned the contrast knob, and some other video settings that we don't have! (It would be nice if they added a contrast slider, and maybe color saturation level, to the brightness level already included!)
I have no intention of returning my Touch now for exchange, will count myself as lucky that my video got tweaked to perfection, and I have no dead pixels in my week 36 Touch. I understand that some people are never going to be happy with all of this, that in a perfect world everything would be great right out of the gate, all the time. But...
Enjoying my Touch a lot. A great gadget.
Now if we could only have those 3rd party applications!

This is true. With any LCD screen you can adjust contrast and color temperature which seem to be the combination working against week 36 and 37 owners. It makes sense Apple could control these settings through a software update. I suspect as you have stated, the 1.1.1 firmware upgrade does a serial check and selectively alters certain settings to compensate for the difference in the screens.
I say this because I still strongly suspect that Apple did change screens, screen coating or something in the hardware betweent he 37 and 38 lines (or early on in the 38 line) because there are reports with screen shots to confirm inconsistency int he effect of the 1.1.1 firmware update fixing the problem.
If the firmware update works for you, fantastic! If it does not then I would return it. If I recieved a week 36 and week 37 device from an on-line order I would return unopened to the nearest Apple store to avoid a restocking fee. If I didn't have an Apple store I would do the return through whoever I did the on-line order with.
The reason I would do this is that I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to displays. I feel like if I'm paying $300-$400 for one of these devices my desire to have the best screen would take priority over my need to own the device quickly, but that's just me.

A FIX for iPhoto 11 opening older libraries

Had the same problem everyone else has had. Then I was thunk in the forehead by an obvious trick. I use iPhoto Library manager. I opened IPLM and and clicked on the icon for creating a NEW LIBRARY (upper left corner of IPLM screen). I named it TestLibrary. I then launched this new file from within IPLM -- and iPhoto 11 (v 9.1) opened! That is, the app opened with a new library that contained no pictures. I dragged a couple of test jpg's into the library. Then I quit and reopened TestLibrary several times, to make sure I wasn't counting my chickens too soon. TestLibrary opened fine each time. I then quit IPLM and went directly to my picture libraries in the Pictures folder and launched them from the finder. EACH AND EVERYONE OPENED! They not only opened but iPhoto 11 performed the "update" function very quickly, even on the larger libraries. Again, I quit and reopened the files several times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
I suspect the IPLM manager may be partially culpable. I note that many people who posted this problem also use IPLM.
FYI: I figured out this fix while standing here at a counter in my local Apple Store (Leawood, KS). The floor sales rep who tried to help me earlier -- a cute and very friendly blonde with a killer smile -- had no idea about the iPhoto problem. But she was very kind and took my emil address and set me up for a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow. I'm looking all over the store now for her. nowto share my success -- but she has wandered off. Rats. She really is cute; I'm single. Which is none of your business. Where was I? Oh yeah. Before Ms. Cute saleswoman wandered off and aftyr my heart rate returned to normal, I decided to experiment a little more. That's when I came up with the idea of using IPLM to create a blank new file. Getting ready to leave now. ..... NEW UPDATE: I finally spotted the very nice (and very cute) Apple saleswoman who had been helping me. Some other customer was flirting with her, pretending that he didn't know a thing about his new laptop. Rightttttt... I interrupted and asked her for a dance. Just kidding. I told her I had fixed my iPhoto libraries. She smiled, nodded, said "GREAT!" I melted. I offered to hang around a few minutes in case she wanted to come over and see how I fixed iPhoto. While waiting for her I thought I should type this and post it on the Forum. The very nice (and BEYOND cute) saleswoman still hasn't stopped by yet. I will wait a few more minutes. I'm in love. But the store is very busy. I will wait a few more minutes. I am realllly in love. Did I mention she was cute and very polite? Gotta go now. Perhaps Ms. Cuteness and I will meet in another time, place or dimension. After all, she has my name an email address. Maybe she'll send an email later and ask me for a date — strictly for professional and technical information purposes, of course; to find out how I fixed the iPhoto problem so that she can share it with other staff and customers. She probably won't, which means other Mac owners who wander in today with the same iPhoto problem will also fall in love with Ms. Cute but they won't learn a darn thing about my iPhoto fix. That kind of customer relations conduct would normally make me very angry. But nothing is normal anymore. It's hard to be angry when you're madly in love. -- David

iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -
Update 10/24: I released a quick 3.5.8 update yesterday, which doesn’t yet provide full iPhoto ‘11 compatibility, but does provide a couple improvements for iPhoto ‘11 users, including a fix for those experiencing the issue of being unable to reopen a library after upgrading it to the new iPhoto version. If you have such a library, simply open the library up via iPLM, and you should be prompted by iPhoto to upgrade the library again. Once it’s complete, you should then be able to close and reopen the library normally.

Fix for "your computer's system firewall settings will prevent you...?"

I finally did the dreaded feat and performed an update - had all kinds of problems afterwards (repeating Network settings message error, unknown error -3256 error, etc.) that I have (I think) successfully fixed thanks to these fabulous forums. After getting the -3256 error I updated the firmware and software for my AE and applied the Apple support fix for -3256. Then I started getting a new issue - being the following message after opening my new i-tunes version 8.0.2 "your computer's system firewall settings will prevent you from using Airtunes". After going into the firewall settings and trying to modify the port number (which I found suggested here) that i-tunes would use to stream to my airport express in the edit pane for 'i-tunes music sharing'. I ended up creating a new port specification, which I called i-tunes 1 with ports 5000 - 6000 specified. Tried opening i-tunes again - but no luck, same error. Thinking that I'd done nothing to improve the situation, I deleted my new port specification in the allow pane under firewall - I noticed that the original spec was gone (because I had edited it?). Anyway, as soon as I deleted the spec that I had edited, airtunes started working beautifully! To check things - I closed i-tunes and re-started, then, got the same message ""your computer's system firewall settings will prevent you from using Airtunes" with the option to check my firewall settings - which I did. This time, I noticed that 'i-tunes music streaming' was again listed as an option under allow in my firewall. I selected and deleted it - then again, my Airtunes works perfectly.
I really have no idea what exactly occurs 'behind the scenes' so to speak when you delete this from the list - but - it seems to have fixed my problem. I'm guessing that I'll have to do that each time I open i-tunes. At least I got my airtunes back. I guess I'm a little worried that deleting this item presents some sort of risk or could lead to another problem and so if anyone can comment on this I would really appreciate it. Alternatively, if anyone has a solution that won't require me deleting this item each time I open i-tunes, I'd be glad to hear it.
Thanks!
Leigh-Ann

Leigh-Ann, you didn't say that Airtunes didn't work, only that you got that error. I, too, am getting the "Your computer's system firewall settings will prevent you from using Airtunes" message, but when I click "Ignore" I find that Airtunes works just fine.

[Athlon64] Possibly THE fix for the RS480M2!

No, not a joke about liberal use of a sledgehammer here...
Okay, I think, after literally about two dozen reinstallations of Windows, that I have narrowed the problem (all of them - Depending on other settings, I can reproduce just about all of the complaints I've seen here, but this one seems to cause the actual underlying flaw that the rest simply modify) down to a single BIOS (v3.3) setting:
Set your MPS mode to 1.1 (this requires turning APIC on first, and you should then leave it on). You might want to clear CMOS first (note that neither of the "official" methods actually do a full clear, you must unplug the system and take the battery out for a few hours.
As I understand it, this should have no real meaning on a single-processor board, but it makes a world of difference. I had commented about a week ago that turning off APIC seemed to help, but not entirely. I now see that I should have explored that partial fix just a little bit further. Well, at least I finally got it right.
If anyone can confirm this on their own box with a similar setup to my own, it would probably help a LOT of people out.
Note that I have not tried the 3.4 BIOS, and since I finally have this miserable board working, I probably won't flash the BIOS again until/unless I absolutely need to for dual core support (if MSI even decides to support them on the RS480M2 line).
As a warning, you will need to reinstall windows after changing this - at the very least, a repair install - in order to fully benefit from it (and quite likely, Windows won't even boot anymore after changing this, until you reinstall). With XP pro (SP2 slipstreamed), you should only need the MSI drivers for the audio, video, and SMBus (and I installed AMD's Athlon 64 drivers for XP as well, though you don't totally need to, unless you want C&Q to work correctly).
If a couple people post negative responses, I'll post my full BIOS settings some someone to try. But, I think I reduced the problem to this one setting.

@pla
I'm all for tweaks that stablize the ATI motherboard. On the surface I don't see how changing the MPS from version 1.4 to 1.1 will do anything. MPS version relates to Multi-Processor Specification. It should only affect multi processor boards. I would be surprised if it actually did anything on the RS480M2. Especially since it is such a legacy setting that only affected operating systems prior to Windows NT.
That being said, I'm game to try other settings and there is the remote chance that this change could affect how IRQs are handled by the board. The following is a quote from Intel about the differences in MPS 1.1 vs 1.4.
"MPS version 1.4 added extended configuration tables to improve support for multiple PCI bus configurations"
I still have a PCI TV Tuner problem that I think is related to IRQ conflicts with the onboard NIC. I'll try it and see if it does anything for me.

Is there a fix for modal dialogs opening behind palettes -cs6 -osx 10.6.8

Is there a fix for modal dialogs open behind palettes in
Photoshop cs6 13.0 (createive cloud update) + OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro?
( I am using 2 monitors where the second monitor is set to be the menu display. cs4 does not exhibit this bug. )
Toggling the Application Frame off improves the hiding 'feature' but this does not include the desired continuous floating in front of palettes in all circumstances.
An example is Blending Options, then chose Stroke, then chose the Color Picker. After clicking OK, the Blending Options dialog now sits behind the palettes. One trick is to click on another app, then back to cs6 to force a window redraw.
It sure would help me if this could be solved. I am preparing educational videos and this display bug makes things very troublesome.
Thanks for any help. If I find a solution, I will post to this thread so everyone can benefit.

The setting for the graphics check box Does Not make a difference. If I have a new document window open, then add a layer, then open the blending options > drop shadow > edit the color > the chooser dialog opens, and immediately both dialog windows drop behind the palettes AND any document windows.
The same behavior for the Preferences dialog > guides > color.
The quick workaround is to click another app, then back to CS6. A real pain, of course.
It is only a factor when opening a second (child) dialog box.
Other CS6 apps do work correctly (eg. FW AE)
I have yet to get a handle on this. Mac OSX 10.6.8 CS6 13.0 x64
Thanks for your replies, and the long reply time for me was a vaction away from the office.

I agree.
SELECT ticket_no,name_of_the_passenger..
FROM ticket_master
WHERE ticket_no NOT IN
(SELECT Ticket_no
FROM ticket_cancellations
WHERE trip_id = my_trip_id);
This involves creating a little temp table for each record in ticket_no. Then full scanning it.
Change it to
SELECT ticket_no,name_of_the_passenger..
FROM ticket_master B
WHERE ticket_no NOT EXISTS
(SELECT null
FROM ticket_cancellations A
WHERE A.ticket_no = B.ticket_no
AND trip_id = my_trip_id);
Then you get an index hit in both cases.

Change the SWF loading text for a single presentation

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Presenter/7.0/WS8815BC0A-5D22-4f29-87B9-D9047B5B57E4.html

Hi,
I have Adobe Presenter 7.0.5, in which with recently updating to 7.0.7 version.
When I tried the fix of this "Change the SWF loading text for a single presentation" workaround fix, I passed to have the error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ADOBE_PRESENTER not found on Pool_P75.Resource.UIText
But before this error comes, I see that the loading text is changes from the original 2Adobe Presenter" to the one defined by me on the UIText, as the fix said.
And what's happen is that the scrren with the loading text is not being changed by the learning first slide....
Is there any workaround to correct that error?
Many thanks in advance for any feedback from the adobe support team or from any other colleagues that are using Adobe Presenter (;-)).

Default credentials not being saved in Hyper-V Manager for a single VM

Greetings,
I have a Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard Hyper-V box running about 8 virtual machines on it. The machine is joined to a 2008 domain.
Recently, I moved the .VHD file for a single machine from one folder to another folder. After doing so, when I connect to ONLY that specific machine via Hyper-V manager, I receive the error: "Your credentials did not work. Your system administrator
does not allow the use of default credentials to log on to the remote computer XXXXXX because its identity is not fully verified. Please enter new credentials."
I have the "Use default credentials automatically (no prompt)" option checked in the Hyper-V settings, and I have tried checking and unchecking this box and saving multiple times. I have also deleted the saved credentials and the system reports no
saved credentials.
I have attempted to change settings in the group policy (gpedit.msc) regarding enabling the Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Credentials Delegation > Allow Delegating Saved Credentials with
NTLM-only Server Authenticaton setting, something I found in older blog posts here in the Hyper-V forum and on other websites, and it has not made any difference.
At this point, I can only assume this must be some sort of bug because I cannot identify any other possible solution for getting rid of this annoying Windows Security pop-up box. There are no entries in the Windows event log that indicate anything
odd. When I enter the correct username/password, I can still access the VM, but the credentials are never remembered, and ONLY for this single VM.
Does anybody have any knowledge of how to fix this issue? I can't believe that just moving a VHD caused all these problems.
Thanks!

Ah, finally found a solution! I cannot explain why this suddenly got changed other than to assume it must have had something to do with a recent Windows Update or me trying to install Remote Desktop Services and Network Policy and Access Services.
I roughly followed the directions from
KB954357 or this
older post on the Hyper-V forum.
FIX:
1) Run gpedit.msc on the Hyper-V host that exhibits the problem.
2) Enable the policy setting Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Credentials Delegation > Allow Delegating Default Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication. Click the Show... button
next to "Add Servers to the list", and add the value "Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" without the double quotes. Click OK. Click OK again to exit the dialog box.
3) Run a command prompt and execute gpupdate /force to refresh the group policy.
4) Now try to log into a machine in Hyper-V manager with default credentials enabled, and note that you are not prompted.
Again, I don't know why I had to do this, but it's working fine now.

Fix for System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts crash

This is not a question, but a solution to a problem that proved difficult to identify and fix for me and three Apple Support personnel, so I thought I should post it here in case others encounter the same issue. I spent a lot of time searching the web and Apple Discussions for this and related issues did not come up with any solutions.
After migrating from Snow Leopard on 2009 MacBook Pro to Yosemite on a new MBP using the Migration Assistant, things went surprisingly smoothly for the most part, until I opened the Keyboard pane of System Preferences. Then, clicking on the Shortcuts tab immediately caused System Preferences to crash, reproducibly.
Crash Reporter pointed loosely to a keyboard-related preference setting. But "com.apple.preference.keyboard" is the name of an OS process, not a .plist file. I searched the web to try to find out where Keyboard Shortcut settings are stored in Yosemite, and also for a possible way to reset the settings to default in Terminal (e.g. using the "defaults" routine), without success. (Apple Support was not happy that I had Terminal open when they shared my screen, and seemed never to have heard of this routine).
Process: System Preferences [948]
Application Specific Information:
objc_msgSend() selector name: retain
com.apple.preference.keyboard v.14.0 (Keyboard)
objc[948]: GC: forcing GC OFF because OBJC_DISABLE_GC is set
Repairing disk permissions, rebooting in Safe Mode, zapping the PRAM, and trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences, some keyboard-related .plist files, and the system prefs and International prefs caches did not fix the problem. With Apple Support, we isolated the problem to my user account, as the same crash did not occur in a test account, or in another account migrated at the same time. Nevertheless, Apple's techs had me removing various menu items and programs also running in these accounts that I had deactivated (Sophos AntiVirus, Little Snitch, etc), and downloading and reinstalling Yosemite, which seemed unlikely to address the cause, given that my main user account was the only one affected.
Apple never had me check 3rd party preference panes (which I should have thought to do earlier myself). Opening and closing an older version of Default App ((RCDefaultApp 2.0.1), a free 3rd party utility, in the Preferences pane, transiently solved the problem. However, it recurred on removing it, and was not fixed by installing the latest release of this preference pane, nor did removing three other 3rd party preferences panes (MacFUSE, a Citrix app, and Flash Player).
Finally I went back to ~/Library/Preferences and looked for any files that had been modified around the time the problem transiently disappeared, and stumbled upon com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist. After viewing its contents with Property List Editor and finding this article, I thought that this file was likely the problem.
I logged into my root account, verified that Shortcuts worked fine there, and that this file changed with a change in Shortcut settings, and (after renaming the offender to save it as a backup), replaced the file in my main user account with a copy of the one from the root account.
I repaired permissions in the offending account, rebooted, and voilà - problem solved!
NB If you are in a similar situation, before trying this fix (at your own risk!), I strongly advise backing up your computer first, and saving a copy of the presumed offending file in case you have to put it back because of unforeseen consequences. You do not need to enable and use the root account; instead you could log in to a new administrator account, or another user account, verify that Shortcuts works fine there (it would not be a bad idea to set up any user-defined App Shortcuts you want there); and copy the file to a shared folder.
Then switch back into the offending account, go to your user Library/Preferences folder (~/Library/Preferences using Go To Folder in Finder), and replace com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist in that account with the one from the shared folder. You should then repair disk permissions afterwards and restart.
If it works, Shortcuts should open fine. Be sure to check each category in the left-hand panel of the Shortcuts panel (e.g. LaunchPad & Dock, Mission Control, etc.) for conflicts, and resolve those by disabling the offending duplicate key combination assignments (I had two, marked by yellow triangle alerts).

no it's not. it's treated differently.
In Leopard, Menu Master let me assign Command+Enter to Address Book > Edit Card. When I attempt the same using Keyboard Shortcuts, both Command+Return and Command+Enter are displayed as Command plus a "return arrow." After that, in Address Book, both Command+Return and Command+Enter invoke the "Edit Card" menu action.
not for me.
if you want to use those keys in the shortcuts use one of the many 3rd party app launchers. any one of them will let you do this: Qucisilver, Butler, Spark, Launchbar, ikeys, quickeys etc.
I've been using QuicKeys since the beginning of time, and I have some experience with Butler and LaunchBar. They're useful for what they do. But, as far as I know, none add keyboard shortcuts that are displayed directly in the menus. That display feature is what makes Menu Master and Systems Prefs > Keyboard Shortcuts so attractive.
that's because Menu Master is a haxie. none of the other programs mentioned are. you want such functionality you are going have to use a haxie. personally - i stay away from them as they destabilize the system.
When I'm considering new shortcuts, I use KeyCue to display all current shortcuts in a single display. KeyCue now displays QuicKeys shortcuts in the same display, which is a big help.

Any fix for touch pad issue in mac book pro on windows 7?

Hi, I've recently installed windows 7 and parallels in my mac book pro. While i run windows with the parallels track pad, scrolling and right click are functioning properly. But when i logon to windows directly none of them are functioning.
Pls lemme know if there is any fix for this.
Thanks

Running Windows in parallels from the BootCamp partition messes the original installation. My experience. You will have to remove the parallels virtual machine from mac and did a complete reinstall of Windows later.It is better to keep your virtual machine separately.
This is not true. Running Bootcamped Windows from Parallels or Fusion does not impact the Bootcamp installation of Windows. It just provides a different access to the single Windows installation. Both Parallels and Fusion support this configuration and instructions for how to use Bootcamped Windows as the virtual machine's tartget operating system is included on each virtual machines's respective site.
