Parallels Desktop 4  - 32 or 64 bit version of Vista?

Hello Folks!
Anyone using Parallels Desktop 4 with Vista? What have you experienced with Vista and Parallels 4?
QUESTION:
Should I install the 32 or 64 bit version of Vista?
I am on a new MacPro computer under OSX 10.5.6

Their help files state that to install a 64 bit guest OS you need to have a intel core 2 processor.
also in the help files it state that Windows Vista® (Business SP1, Enterprise SP1, Ultimate SP1 editions) are supported.
The entry level of windows vista is not supported I guess because microsoft have forbidden its use in a virtual machine.

  • Lenovo Provides 32 bit and 64 bit versions of VISTA & 7 by recovery media for FREE BUT HOW???

    Lenovo advertises this title:
    When is it possible to switch between 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Operating Systems by using recovery media?
    In this page:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-74752.html
    BUT
    Doesn’t give any info that how??? I
    How do I contact a Lenovo Support Centre to place an order. Link brings you to contact numbers for Lenovo and after I call them they say these numbers are for IBM and it is only for hardware support.
    I am wondering got know how on earth they accept orders for this type of complex issue by phone???
    Specially that I am dealing with so special situation and I need some e-mail address to describe it Lenovo and wait for the answer...
    I appreciate it if somebody could help me with this...
    Thanks in advance for your help guys...

    Awesome dude,
    Thanks for well described reply. I enjoyed it specially when I found out you don't work for Lenovo.
    I am curious to know something. I could buy Windows 7 Bit for a very good price form Microsoft offers for university students that it probably cost me the same price as recovery media. Do you think it is a good idea to install a totally fresh windows 7 (NOT from the recovery media) on my t400s?
    I am asking this because when you install operation system with provided recovery Media it builds another partition
    with this name SERVICEV003 that is about 2 Gb and contains system files and stuff related to my laptop. I am afraid if I install windows without using recovery media but using Microsoft original DVDs then my laptop doesn't function properly?
    What is your idea about this issue,
    Thanks again for all your help, I appreciate it,
    Cheers,

  • Is there a version of Bonjour available for 32-bit versions of Vista?

    I can't get a laptop PC to see my Airport Extreme. When I tried to download Bonjour I got an error message to check if the PC is 64-bit, which it isn't. Any ideas on where to go?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Says updater, but it seems to install Bonjour. I just used it to install on my wife's computer.

  • Nathan C Says 7.6 Works With 64 Bit Versions Of Vista!

    "iTunes 7.6 or later is supported with any 64-bit edition of Windows Vista. The installer for 64-bit Vista is named iTunes64Setup.exe instead of iTunesSetup.exe. For more information see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301"
    So now you iPod Touches will work! No more returning them to Apple!

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 activation issue on MAC running Parallels Desktop for Windows 7

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop running both OSX and Windows 7 (using Parallels Desktop). I installed the MAC version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 when I booted in the MAC OSX mode. I also Installed Adobe Photoshop 10 in the Windows 7 mode (running as a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop). Both programs indicate that they are activated. If I boot the computer in the Windows 7 mode (not using Parallels Desktop) and start the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 program it indicates that it is NOT activated and that I "already have two copies activated".
    Question: Since I only actually have two copies activated how do I get the program activated for the Windows 7 boot operating mode?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Upgraded to lion but now can not run parallel desktop.

    upgraded to lion but now can not run parallel desktop. The message show can not load parallel drivers.
    Anyone can solve it?

    Do you have Parallels Desktop 6?  That is the version you need to have it run under Lion.

  • Windows 8 installation of VPN Client Software (x86 64-bit version) results in "Icon09DB8A851.exe" on startup task

    I've just installed a VPN Client Software for x86 64-bit version of Vista and Windows 7 (vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0440-k9.exe) to Windows 8.  It's working without problem except that it seems to add an entry "c:\Windows\Installer\{5FDC06BF-3D3D-4367-8FFB-4FAFCB61972D}\Icon09DB8A851.exe" onto startup task. I suspect the installer program (InstallShield) is not working properly.  I'd like to know if anyone has same issue or my computer got infected in malware.

    Hi I have installed and config to my client a ASA 5515 and everything is fine but. When I config L2TP/IPSEC VPN for the remote work bang I have a problem. When I config L2TP/IPSEC VPN to Windows 7 with native client on Windows everything is fine, but in Windows 8.1 is bad on 1 hour after VPN connection Windows 8.1 tries to renegotiate the connection and something happens and the connection is disconnected.

  • "Please connect iPhone to a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows XP

    Anyone! Please, anyone! I just got an iPhone and plugged it in to my existing iTunes and it required for me to update to a new version of iTunes in which I did, which is now 7.4.3.1. When I plug the iPhone in, an error message displays and it says "Please connect iPhone to a conputer running a 32-bit version of Windows XP (SP2) or Windows Vista. I have a Windows Vista and re-checked compatability it everything is fine. I've even re-installed iTunes,and restarted my computer but no success! I still keep getting the same error message. Oh, by the way, I've tried all USB ports as well. =(

    It isn't compatible with the 64 bit version of vista. If you search the threads you might find some workarounds that might work. I believe the installer doesn't put the files in the correct directory.
    Good luck...

  • 64-BIT VERSION OF ITUNES STOPS WORKING WHEN OPTIMIZING ON MY NOTEPAD LENOVO G570.WINDOWS7HOME PREMIUM CONSTANTLY  CLOSES ITUNES  PROGRAM WHILE OPTIMATION. WHEN TROUBLESHOOTIING WORKS ON IT, IT SAYS APPLICATION IS INCOMPATIBLE, BUT THIS IS THE VERSION THAT

    64-bit itunes version stops sync when optimizing on my 5 days old notepad LENOVO G570.
    windows 7home premiun constantly closes itunes during this optimization.
    When i did troubleshooting it said application is incompatible, but this is the version that is supposed to work with my system.
    I have made several attemps to make it sync properly and complete it by changing settings but none work, I do not know what else to do, also i phone3GS now starting to slow itself....guess it is due to uncompleted sync?
    please give me advice on what to do !!
    thanks

    Yeah I am not disputing that it is doing what it is supposed to. I am just disputing that it is misleading. I think it should be very clear and state that this is a 32 bit version of iTunes specific for installing on 64 bit versions of Vista.

  • I just purchase T400 how do I have Lenovo install the Home version of Vista 64-bit on my system.

    The T400 I ordered comes with P8400 a 64-bit processor and 4 gigs of ram and I would like my system to take advantage of these two items by going with a 64-bit OS.
    I called and they transfered me to Sales department so they could help.  The sales rep told me that the Home Premium 64-bit version of Vista didn't exist.   I know you can order the Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 - 40512YU with Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium 64 as the default standard.
    Does anybody know how to have Lenovo install Home Premium 64-bit or send me the disc with it?
    Thank you for any help.

  • I'm a bit confused, do I purchase Windows 7 full version, or Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac? I am currently running on OS X Mountain Lion.

    I'm new to using Mac, however my new job requires me to work on Windows...Go figure, right after I JUST buy my new iMac...anyways, I was told to use bootcamp, however I'm getting different opinions as to what I'm supposed to purchase...Do I just buy Windows 7 or the Parallel Desktop for Mac?
    Thanks in advanced!

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
    A Windows 7 installer disc is a requirement for Boot Camp and the virualization software.

  • Running 32-bit windows via Parallel desktop in 64-bit Mac OSX?

    Hi all. I am thinking about running 32-bit version of windows XP in the Parallel Desktop 9, while the macbook itself runs 64-bit Mac OS X Mavericks. Please tell me what you think and what you know about this. Thank you in advance.

    You can run any operating system supported by Parallels in Parallels. Go to the Parallels site to see what operating systems are supported. I believe XP is supported. Whether your Mac is 64 bit or 32 bit has no bearing on what you want to do.

  • Using Apple Magic Mouse With Windows 7 64 bit and Parallels Desktop 8 questions

    I will be getting an iMac in the coming months and installing Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 64 bit.
    I was wondering if I would have the functions of been able to left click, right click, scroll (preferably vertically but also occasionally horizontally) with the Apple Magic Mouse when I'm running Windows 7 through Parallels Desktop 8?
    I just wondered if anyone has installed Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 and have you been able to do what i mentioned above and also have you come across any other issues, problems whilst using the Apple Magic Mouse on the Windows side?
    If there is any problems/issues with doing the above, is there anything I will need to do to get the above functionality to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    - leftclick and rightclick is working
    - i miss the middle button in my cad-software
    The same with the trackpad!
    Sometimes scrolling is a bit too fast, becuase Win 7 isn't made to use with the Magicmouse or trackpad.
    The only thing i miss / doesn't work ist the middle mouse button!
    Thanks very much for the help stz-42 its much appreciated.
    Providing I can left click, right click, scroll, then that's OK for me as I will be spending the vast amount of my time on the Mac side.
    Are you able to scroll both horizontally and vertically when using Parallels 8 Win 7 64 bit on your iMac?
