    I'm at build 5608. Parallels works but for the life
    of me Tools will not install. I get about three
    green progress bars from the install wizard.
    After that the install stalls and i have to re-start
    windows.

    I have done this so many times and have followed
    many suggestions but nothing has worked.

    I'm asking again because i thought the latest build
    would solve the install problem but it hasen't.

    Anybody got any suggestions that will fix this problem?

    Don't know about anti virus....
    And don't know anything about What is in System and
    Applications log, on Windows side.

    Not sure if this is what you want but.............

    I did type in System and Applications log"
    In the search companion and nothing came up

    I also looked up the security center and it
    said "Windows did not find any antivirus software
    on this computer.

    I also used "eventvwr" in the run field and
    came up with the event window but way too much
    info in there.

    I started the tools install at 4:00PM. When i restarted Windows and accessed the files you ask for I found 20 files listed in the event viewer under system after 4:00PM. Which one would you like?

    Under Application there are only three files after that date and time. No system errors were found
