I upgraded to the latest Parallels desktop a few days ago and have been having performance issues with Storyline since. I have not been able to get any work done over the last 3 days. It takes approx 20 mins to publish a course to html 5 and when it finally does there are missing files. Is anyone else having performance issues with Parallel? How did you fix it. I don't want to hav to go out and buy a PC now:(
I have an unfortunate habit of updating to latest versions of things and then regretting it.
I was stuck with a beta for OSX once that meant I could not work so feel your pain. All that said I have updated to parallels 15 and have not had a problem at all, I do have a really powerful machine so maybe I didn't hit any performance issues, I would try creating a new VM, or perhaps your current VM is short of disk space, I would also look at installing storyline again.
In windows run disk cleanup and use clean system files, you should get some space back. I also periodically open explorer click on the C: drive and search for *.tmp files when I see one that is named similar to a course I have created I right click and choose show in finder and then select all the tmp files and delete them, seems like storyline never cleans up after itself.
I would sort out the disk space first that should fix it.

Thanks Phil. I do believe the VM is out of disk space. Do you still think I need to uninstall and reinstall Storyline for it to work again? Thanks!
That will make it run badly.
I run a couple of maintenance tasks.

Thanks for the advice Phil. That was really painful. After three days I'm able to publish my files again. I do need to create more disc space.
