Auto snapshots are taken on a scheduled basis as a way of protecting your machine whether you remember to take a snapshot or not. In this release, both vendors have added auto snapshots. Both now also allow you to store multiple snapshots, although Parallels still has the advantage here in terms of user interface.

Both packages make installing the guest tools easy for Windows users and doable for Linux users.īoth Fusion and Parallels have long had the ability to take snapshots of the state of the machine and undo any changes later. Much of the integrated experience, not to mention nice features - such as being able to resize the screen and cut and paste between the guest and your Mac - depend on them.

These tools are a set of device drivers that let the guest OS talk to the virtualized hardware presented by the hypervisor.

Whether you choose Fusion or Parallels, you won't have a seamless dual-OS experience unless you install the guest tools in the guest system. In the case of my review, Parallels and Fusion both offered Word 2007 on the "Open with…" menu when I right-clicked the file. Both environments provide a way to get to applications on the guest (the virtual machine) from the Mac desktop. You'll also need plenty of disk space, since each virtual guest machine you create takes multiple gigabytes of disk space.īecause the integrated experience is an important selling point of Fusion and Parallels, I wrote this review with both Office 2007 on Windows and Office 2008 on the Mac using a single document and shared folders, using both Parallels and Fusion. I have 4GB of memory - abundant RAM is a must-have for a good experience with either product.

I tested both packages on my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running OS X 10.5.5). Fusion sports a completely redesigned, Cocoa-native interface and preference pane that makes it a more natural fit in the Mac environment. Parallels now supports SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) and 64-bit operating systems. The biggest change in these platforms since my last review is that both vendors have filled in glaring holes. That said, there are differences between them, and depending on your exact needs, you might find one a better choice than the other. Both systems offer easy Windows install, and both support even the most taxing Windows applications with aplomb. The most important thing about both of these products is what hasn't changed: Pick either one, and you'll get a solid performer that lets you run Windows or Linux on your Mac. They provide what's called a hypervisor, which can host multiple guest OSes running at the same time. Both Fusion, now in Version 2.0.1, and Parallels, in Version 4.0, allow you to run another OS - Windows, Linux, and others - on your Mac as a guest of OS X. Since then, both products have undergone major revisions, so I thought I'd see how this horse race is coming along.

The issue you described is the exact one I had and the above process did resolve it.A little more than a year ago, I reviewed VMware's Fusion 1.0 and Parallels Desktop 3.0 to see how they stacked up. The issue you described is the exact one I had and the above process did resolve it. This worked for me, but there were bumps and points of confusion - I highly recommend that you open a support ticket with VMware, so they can help you avoid any pitfalls. Turn Sharing off and again restart Windows.Open the Services application and stop VMWare Tools and there's one regarding physical disk which I also stopped. Delete the VMware Tools folder from C:\Program Files\VMware - if you can't do this, there's probably a service you need to stop.

You can hide items again, once you've done that.

Show Hidden items and find C:\ProgramData\VMWare\VMware Tools - delete the VMware Tools folder.

The only reference necessary to remove (at least in my case) was HKCU\Software\VMWare, Inc.\VMware Tools (I deleted the entire VMware Tools folder).

Use Regedit to remove references to VMWare Tools (not for the faint of heart if you are not comfy with Regedit - I'd recommend VMware's help).

Uninstall Tools (although Fusion said I "needed Tools" to get Sharing to work, technically it was installed - but was a corrupted installation) - use the "Programs" feature in Windows 10 to remove it.

I fixed this on my own, but unless you're comfortable with technical trouble-shooting of Windows, you should open a support ticket and get help from VMware. What do you see when you check "Sharing/Sharing Settings" under the Virtual Machine menu? If you see a message which says something like "Sharing requires Tools" (I don't recall the exact wording), then you probably have a corrupt installation of Tools.
