Resolved Hardware Virtualization Error (Parallels)

After doing some research, all signs pointed to a Parallels desktop update, but after downloading Parallels again today, I'm still having the same issue.

When I open Parallels, it opens, but disappears. When I go to mission control, it will find it, but when I click on it, the window disappears again. However, when I shift desktops, it pops back up in front of the windows (see screen shot)

Before updating Parallels, I got an error telling me to enable hardware virtualization support in my Mac's firmware.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Did you try a different VM product like vmware or virtualbox? Getting that type of error in those programs would then point to a hardware issue over a bug in parallels.

Virtualbox is free and Vmware fusion offers a 30 day.

If it's hardware, I'm going to be pissed. Nothing else seems to be wrong. Here's to hoping it isn't.

I had the very same problem. I fixed it by going into mission control and deleting all the desktops. It then works fine. You can add desktops in again and it will still work. Seems to be an issue from updating to from snow leapord.

I will give that a shot.

Thanks!
