Parallels WorkStation 2.2, 25-49u, ESD, Edu, IT WWL2XL-A03-IT Benutzerhandbuch

You interact with a running virtual machine via its console which is opened when you start the 
virtual machine (on page 149). If you have a guest operating system installed it will be 
displayed on the console exactly as the primary OS is displayed on a real monitor.  

During guest OS execution all toolbar buttons and many of the menu commands become active. 

When a guest operating system is running, you can switch between the console and the property 
page. To switch to the property page while in the console view, do one of the following: 

ƒ  click Property Page View 

 on the toolbar, 

ƒ  select Console View in the View menu.  

To return to console view while in the property page, do one of the following: 

ƒ  click Console View 

 button, 

ƒ  select Console View in the View menu.  

Guest operating systems can be executed in fullscreen mode, making the Parallels Workstation 
menu, toolbar, and status bar become hidden. For detailed information see Switching Virtual 
Machine to Fullscreen Mode (on page 152). 

You can make screenshots of the console while the virtual machine is active. See Making 
Screenshots (on page 56) for details. 

 

The status bar displays information when virtual machine is running. Left part of the status bar 
displays prompt on the menu entry currently pointed by cursor. 

Each device (except memory) connected to the virtual machine is presented as an icon on the 
right of the status bar.
