Parallels For Mac Display Problems

Active3 years, 5 months ago

My Mac is a 15inch Macbook Pro, Sreen resolution is 2880x1800, Intel Iris ProGraphics 5200 margaret (Margaret Becker) 2014-02-14 22:13:01 UTC #2 Graphics display problems and speed are the reasons why running Rhino using Parallels is not supported.

I got an error whilst installing Windows 10 from .iso file as virtual machine via Parallels 9 on OSX 10.10 which read something like: Media driver missing. It leaves you in a loop which requires you to add the drivers. But you cannot install any cause there are no suggestions.

Now the main issue seemed that the iso wasn't on a bootable device which is what most sources say you need to do. Obviously that seemed like an unneeded step and i got the installation going. Mostly because you were already inside the installation that had been booted in the first place.

Software i use:OSX 10.10 (latest)Parallels 9 (latest updates, i know Parallels 10 is out)Windows 10 iso from http://preview.windows.comVM setup with iso from external HD (NTFS) and locally stored.

So what to do?

What you can do is shut down your virtual machine (close out the installation first to make sure). Go to the settings of the parallels by clicking:

Running Parallels On Mac

-> Menubar: Virtual Machine

->Configure

->Hardware tab

->CD/DVD 1 (where your image is inserted)

->Location dropdown

-> Select IDE 0:1 (instead of SATA 0:1)

-> Restart VM

Done!

Installation will continue normally and you can start trying Windows 10 from Parallels 9 on your Mac.

I'm not sure if this works for Parallels 10 (i think so) and i'm also not sure if this will work for other (older) Windows installations. But to remove the steps required for making a bootable disk is good enough for me.

You can tell to parallels to install it as windows xp and it will work fine.

This issue occurs, also, when you have a MacBook Pro (10,2 or similar) without a DVD drive, while installing Windows 10 via USB.
So, during the Parallels 10 or 11 Guest setup, choose to configure using an ISO instead.

Additionally, Parallels has partnered with Blizzard to provide specific support for the hit game Overwatch.
Version 12 also includes 90 percent faster snapshot creation, 60 percent faster suspension of VMs, 25 percent faster shared folder performance, 25 percent faster compilation of Visual Studio projects, and up to 10 percent in battery life improvements for 'certain environments.'
The company is also touting a new standalone app called Parallels Toolbox. The Toolbox places a drop-down menu in the Mac's menu bar, allowing users to do certain tasks more quickly. Tasks include the ability to record the screen, take screenshots, record audio, archive files, convert and download video, lock the screen and more.
