Parallel for MAC ejects Windows frequently

I have Windows XP in my MacPro thanks to Parallel. But frequently, when I am in Windows, either running an excel file, or a Word document or scrolling through Internet using Explorer, I am suddenly ejected from Parallel (and thus Windows)with no warning. I have a colleague with a MacBookPro with also Parallel to install Windows, and she faces the same problems me.
Has anybody also experienced this problem ? And if yes how was it solved?

*"Has anybody also experienced this problem ?"*
If anyone has, you'll probably find them over in the Parallels forums: http://forums.parallels.com

HP Photosmart 6510 cannot print in Parallels for Mac using Windows 7

I currently use the above model of printer with my Macbook (OSX Mountain Lion) and have no problems printing with the MAC.
The problem is when I am in virtual machine mode (Parallels Desktop 8) and trying to print from Windows 7.
Although it seems to be recognising the printer, it is telling me the printer is 'offline: 1 document waiting'.
The Parallels support pages say that printers should work automatically.
Can anyone help?

Sounds like a bit of a mixed setup here, where you are using a Macintosh with Windows loaded onto the system. My first question is on the profile you are working with have you loaded the appropriate drivers from the website for the Windows machine? Here is a link for that :

I would also run this diagnostic test too :

Let me know, and I will do what I can to help!
Have a great day!

How to install "turbotaxdeluxe2010"for mac or window on linux?

I bought "turbotaxddeluxe2010" for Mac or Windows by mistake and would like to insstall it in"ubuntu"(linux}. Is it possible?
turbotax2020 website said it could be done if it is downloaded online from mozilla fire fox

Download MS Office for Mac 2011 from Microsoft, use it for 30 days, and if you like it purchase a product key. Alternately you can buy a disc with the activation code from Amazon, MacMall, or a number of other online retailers (generally for $30-50 less than what Microsoft charges).

I have a Samsung Chromebook; which do I download -- for Mac or Windows?

I have a Samsung Chromebook; which do I download -- for Mac or Windows?

From what I have read, you can use neither of those option. Google Chrome OS is a completely different animal and you would need to check on the chrome website for apps that are available for use with it.

Need AV or IS Software for Mac with Windows apps?

I would like to know if it is advisable to install anti-virus or Internet security software on a Mac if you run both Mac and Windows applications. I ask this question because I understand that those programs may not as necessary for Mac applications only but I wonder if the Windows applications that I installed under Parallels Desktop 7 will cause the computer to be vulnerable. I also wonder whether in installation of the AV or IS software will protect both the Mac and Windows virtual machines. Thanks

Antivirus software for OS X is not necessary. However if you run MS Windows in any fashion meaning via Boot Camp or virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion then you should treat the MS Windows installation as you would ANY MS Windows installation, in other words install antivirus software for MS Windows! The good news is even if your MS Windows becomes totally diseased this will in no way affect the OS X installation.
In your case because you have installed Windows in Parallels then get yourself some antivirus software for MS Windows and install away. You can resist the urge for antivirus software for OS X though for many reasons, first an foremost is there are zero (none, nada, zip) viruses for OS X. While there are some trojans out there for OS X they are few and far between. The primary difference between a Trojan and virus is that Trojans must be downloaded and installed by the user. The lesson to learn here is only download from trusted sites and any site that tells you to download something should be approached with a great deal of caution. In other words if you aren't sure don't do it and come to a these forums and ask. The next reason OS X doesn't need antivirus software is most take up a lot resources on your computer and slow it down, and finally many tend to create more problems than they solve. If you still aren't convinced then download ClamXav, it's free, unobtrusive and kept up-to-date.

Sim City 4 For Mac or Windows?

I just ordered my new Intel Macbook and was wondering will Sim City 4 for PC work on it or will I have to buy the Mac version? I dont want to use bootcamp or parallels. The salesman at my local Apple store said that the PC version should work on the mac without bootcamp or parallels since the new macs have intel chipsets and Sim City 4 was designed for Intel chips. Just wanting to make sure that this was the truth before buying the game. Also does the Mac version run slower because of Rosetta or does it run fine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sim City 4 for Windows will not work on any Mac without Bootcamp or Parallels. The salesman at the Apple store is misinformed. Anything for Windows will not work on a Mac unless you run it on Windows with Bootcamp or Parallels.
As for Sim City 4 for Mac, it will run slower, both because of the limited graphics capabilities of the MacBook and because it will have to run under Rosetta. Although, looking in your signature and seeing you have 2GB RAM, it won't be too bad.

Dreamweaver for Mac or Windows?

Can I get some advice? I'm trying to decide whether to get
Adobe Creative Suite 3 for Mac, or for Windows. What are the
pros/cons of Dreamweaver, Mac version, versus Dreamweaver, Windows
version? Has anyone used both? If so, which one do you prefer? And
why?
I tried asking Adobe's sales people about this but they had
no clue. Apparently Adobe doesn't have any documentation or do
benchmarks to compare the two versions.
Thanks,
Lisa

Well, what is your "comfort zone" of your hands-on experience
with either one of those mentioned system architecture.
I use Macs for years and I find that very useful and
reliable. However I am being so overly baised aganist Window system
architecture. You'll have to deal with it yourself and you decide,
because I don't know you.
You have to weigh on several options... and your short-term
and long-term, and cost-wise to operate these system architecture
and types of physical equipment such as Mac or PC platform.
The thing about Mac, as you already know, the cost is very
expensive. But there is a huge trade-off... very very low
maintenance cost on side of Macs. Easy to add different kind of
devices, say printers, digital cameras, external backup drives,
external double layers DVD drive, scanners, list goes on... you
find that very easy to plug them in and ready to use on Mac. As for
Windows, it depends. You will have to add drivers every time when
you add devices manually. Mac does the rest for you.
When people tell you that there are lots of Windows
applications are avaliable for Windows than on Macs. It is simply
not true. Because you can run Windows on top of Mac by using
Parallel (specical software acts like Windows emulator).
As for CS3 on Mac or Windows, it is matter of your comfort
zone. you need to sit down and take a hard look at those systems
that works best for you. I can't decide for you. You have to make
the decision yourself. Adobe cannot make decision for you. That is
why customer service reluclantly tell you.
Hope that helps.
Good luck with your decision.
Cheers, Brian

Adobe CS4 for Mac v Windows

I am starting out as a Freelance video editor. My sister is in fashion design. Due to our tight budget we plan on sharing the Adobe CS4.
I use a MacbookPro while my sister an HP laptop.
As a solution I thought of buying the Windows version of CS4 which I will run using Parallels.
Does it make sense? I had heard that there are significant performance impact when using a "virtual" machine than running it "native" on OS X. But then lately people have been telling Parallels is really good?
I am not too keen on having a CS4 Master for Windows instead of a Production Premium for Mac only. But if you people think there is no harm in it then it would save me a lot of money by buying one copy of multi-license Windows only.

As X says, you'll get better info from Adobe discussions. However - good though Parallels is, you will get something of a performance hit, especially when it comes to graphic-intensive applications. There is something of an overhead to virtualisation, although nothing like as bad as it used to be.
You could get round it by using Bootcamp if you don't mind the rebooting.
But go to the Adobe groups and ask someone who knows.
