Trouble Using Fox Running Under Parallels Desktop

Post by goddess »

I looked for a Fox Forum, but did not find one so I am posting this here. I hope it is okay.

I posted about this problem on the Facebook Go Group, and it was suggested that I post here.

I created a blog post to describe my problem because it allowed me to describe it in detail and add images to illustrate the problem.

If anyone who is running Fox under Parallels Desktop can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

I can't help with this but I noticed that you also mention in your blog that there is a problem running Katrain in parallels but Katrain (I may be wrong here) should have support for mac.

I run Fox in Windows 10 running inside Parallels Desktop on macOS. Current versions are Windows 10 21H1, Parallels Desktop 17.1.0, macOS 10.15.7, but I've had this setup for over a year with multiple versions of each component. I just now ran Fox for the first time in a few months and it updated itself with no issue and then ran as normal. I also am able to download games to my machine with no problem. I wonder if there is some setting in your Parallels Desktop setup that is preventing Fox from performing downloads, but I don't think I ever did anything special to permit it. I don't really have any further suggestions, sorry, just providing a data point that it is possible for Fox to run successfully under Parallels.
