- I've installed Windows XP on my Mac Pro (OSX) using parallels. I'm having trouble accessing internet sites using Explorer on the Virtual Machine. I'm on a home network using a cable modem. I can confirm that the connection is working because i can get results of a google search (my start page is.
I have had problems with the version upgrades every time new Parallels software is released (been a user since version1 was released). Each time, I'd be forced to reimport my old VHD image, reactivate and reinstall everything.
Parallels For Mac
After successfully uninstalling Bootcamp and Windows XP, I bought Parallels for Mac and did okay on a clean install. The only problem is, everytime I plug in 'ANY' USB device, I get a message (something to the effect) 'Device being used by another process'. When I attempt to 'eject' that device, I still get that same message. Is there ANYTHING I can try??? I was hoping to either connect a flash drive with music and documents, or my 100 gig external USB hard drive, but Windows XP via Parallels does not recognize any external devices. By the way, I even went as far as installing the Mac drivers that Bootcamp requires. That did help with a few other 'devices' (such as PCI devices, etc), but I cannot get Windows to recognize any other USB devices.
Your help, opinions and advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
