RH 8 running on W7 via Parallels on Mac

Report · Nov 19, 2010

Have a new MacBook Pro (i7 - 4GB RAM) and have W7 working as a virtual machine via Parallels with 1GB RAM assigned to the VM. I've had no issues with this, until I needed to look at a RoboHelp project.

Adding books or pages to the TOC, changing any of the SSL output settings, editing the HTML is so slow as to make RH impossible to use. All other members of TCS 2 work ok.

I know someone else who has had the same issues. Is there any way around this?

I am no hardware expert but if that means RoboHelp only has access to 1gb of memory, I'm not surprised it is running slowly. Whilst it is the minimum spec, minimum is just that.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for that. Looks like I'll have to upgrade the Mac memory then, as I've tried with 1.5GB RAM with no difference. Parallels doesnt recommend much over that with my current setup.
