    hi,

    i am having problem with Parallels Desktop 8 in lion

    i want to Import windows xp from Parallels Desktop 5 in leopard to Parallels Desktop 8 in lion

    then i try the manual p34 Import from an Earlier Parallels Desktop or Other Virtualization Application

    Parallels Desktop 5 reinstall Parallels Tools nothing happens after windows restart there is no onscreen instructions ?!

    please help me to fix this problem

    Import from an Earlier Parallels Desktop or Other Virtualization Application


    With Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac you can use Windows that you set up using earlier versions of Parallels Desktop, as well as VMware Fusion, Microsoft Virtual PC, and Virtualbox:
    1 Open Parallels Desktop (in the Applications folder) and choose File > Open.
    2 Select the Windows data file you want to import, then click Open.
    • ParallelsDesktopdatafilesendwith.pvm.
    • VMwarefilesendwith.vmx.
    • VirtualPCfilesendwith.vmc.
    • VirtualBoxfilesendwith.xmlor.vbox.
    You can also simply drag a Parallels .pvm file to the Parallels Virtual Machines list to add it to Parallels Desktop.
    3 Start Windows (p. 36).
    4 Choose Virtual Machine > Install Parallels Tools and follow the onscreen instructions.

    Your problem is that when you try to reinstall Parallels Tools you don't get onscreen instructions? Just uninstall the Tools from control Panel add/Remove programs, restart, and the Install Parallels Tools.

    the problem solved with this work around

    downloading this file ( for real windows pc ) to windows xp in Parallels Desktop 5 worked for me

    http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v8/update1.hotfix5/ParallelsTransporterAgent-18494.886912.exe

    & transfer to usb external storage ( take 5 hours ) then to transfer to macbook pro lion Parallels Desktop 8

    i got the windows activation key problem in parallels 8 it had to be activated in 3 days ! ( not 30 days ) i did by internet

    ---------------------------------


    i have Parallels Desktop 3 didn't work with some high spec. macbook 13 white then try it in low spec. macbook white 13 & it work , i post the problem here with no help

    then i have to buy another parallels Desktop v5 to the high spec. macbook white & it worked but when i try to transfer i had this problem with miner problems in parallels

    and god knows what i will have to deal with in parallels Desktop v8

    i am 4 years user , i am an owner of 3 ver. ( 3 , 5 , 8 )

    it is frustrating to me to get this problems with high priced app

    not a good app & no good manual no good help her from parallels team it is shameful

    i get more from free Virtual app then this high price app
