For someone used to older versions of VMWare (PC on PC), Parallels is pretty darn cool. Macbook Pro running OS X 10.5.4 Parallels 3.0 Build 5608 XPSP2 My paste works for a while, then stops working during the day. The machine does not go to sleep during the day, but the screensaver is activated using a HotSpot. I use <Ctrl>-<keys> and <Command>-<Keys> as well as r-clicking to get between both. I've tried killing and restarting the Parallels tool in the Windows instance, but this does not always work (and is a workaround, not a solution). Sometimes Parallel Tools gets itself killed and I have to restart it. I have also locked up Parallels doing fast cut/pastes between MS apps. Cut/alt-tab/paste/alt-tab/arrow-down/copy/paste.... I'm willing to bet if I turned off the parallel tools clipboard feature, this would not occur. Text sizes were Rebooting the guest OS (XP) generally does resolve the issue (had to reboot the Mac once), but this is also a workaround, not a solution. Thanks for listening!!
We are trying to solve this in PD 4, and at the same time in PD 3, It seems to me problem is due to some USB devices connected to VM
