Some Googling and tweaks to the VM settings and everything has been fine ever since.<BR/><BR/>Startup time is quick, overall performance has always been excellent, no printing issues and I've tried both locally attached as well as network printers and the networking is fine. I often run with two separate Internet connections simultaneously; Parallels uses the Ethernet port when I'm at a client site and Mac OS X uses an AT&T Wireless USB Dongle. Runs like a champ. <BR/><BR/>I've already pre-ordered the new MacBook Pro 17" model and will be doing some research on Parallels 4.0 vs VMWare 2.0 to see which I should use going forwards.craig iskowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428009507689607350noreply@blogger.com
