Parallels Workstation 2.2, 100-249u, IT, MNT WWL2XM-05-IT Benutzerhandbuch

If you run Parallels Workstation simultaneously with Compuware SoftICE debugger from 
Compuware Driver Studio, keyboard problems may arise. Problems usually occur when starting 
SoftICE from the Windows command line while Parallels Workstation is already running. 

Note. Since SoftICE is a Windows application this issue may appear in Windows primary OS 
only. 

To fix the problem: 

1  Open SoftICE Settings, select Troubleshooting part. Check Do not patch keyboard driver 

option. 

2  Restart your computer. 

 

If you receive the "Unable to initialize swap file" message when starting a 
virtual machine, follow the steps: 

1  Do either: 

ƒ  In the property page, click Memory and decrease memory size used by virtual machine. 

ƒ  In the menu, select Edit/Preferences/Common and specify a different default directory 

for virtual machines. This folder should be located on your local hard drive that has 
enough free space. 

2  Try to start the virtual machine again. 

Appearing of this problem indicates lack of disk space on the volume where virtual machine 
configuration is stored.
