Parallels Desktop 7 Update Fixes File Fault & Full Disk Encryption Problems – Get It Now!

Late yesterday I reported that Parallels Desktop 7 users were experiencing a mysterious problem that required them to log into and restart their Mac notebooks twice before being able to use the Finder Desktop. Parallels has released an update that resolves this really annoying problem. So if you haven’t installed it yet launch Parallels Desktop 7 and run a Check for Updates from the Parallels apps menu. Install the update and you will be good to go – no reason to log in twice now!

The update resolved the problem for my MacBook Air and the problem may have been present in Parallels Desktop 6 too. So if you are using that version of Parallels still please chime in by leaving a comment about your status.

Here’s what the update does for Parallels Desktop 7 users per Parallels:
