Hi Xenos, Nearly a month and not a single posting! Things have gone very quiet, but sadly my problems remain - and are as confusing as ever: sometimes working, then part working, then not working at all! Am I the only one for whom this unfortunate chapter of events remains unresolved? I...

Just a bit more from me to cast further light (or is it darkness) on my problem ... If I clear the VM clipboard and then copy some text in the Host, I have just found that the VM clipboard remains empty, but the Tool Centre shows the correct text waiting to be pasted. The problem seems to...

Correction - my rotten typing again! Second para in last post: However, what happens on pasting is that the previous copy rather than current copy is pasted. To paste the correct text I have to bring the clipboard up in the VM and then select from the various copied entries the last one to...

Hi Xenos, Thanks for your further efforts to help me. I have re-started the Tools Centre, as instructed, and, on opening it have in the left pane all the various synchronisation tools ticked as enabled; on the right, in the options pane, status ticks as enabled, and the window on clipboard...

Xenos, For unconnected reasons I did a Registry repair and then found that cut-n-paste seemed to work - for a short while! It's more likely, however, to have been the fact that a full reboot of the VM took place and the various bits of software I was working with at the time all had a fresh...

Xenos, I regret that my 'cautiously optimistic' posting was premature. Cut-n-paste worked briefly and then I have annoyingly had the 'clipboard is busy' messages and an inability to cut-n-paste either from Host to VM or from VM to VM. The first operation works OK after starting up...

Press22day, I sympathise with your frustrations. Some contributors to this stream clearly know a lot more IT than you or I! Mid-way down page 7 of this stream there is an entry from Xenos which includes the link you need to get 5584. Having installed it you will probably need to put in...

Xenos, I am cautiously optimistic that your suggestion to install MacFuse may have solved my cut-n-paste problem. In the limited usage I have put my system to since applying MacFuse I have had flawless functionality. I hope I'm not being over optimistic! Thank you!

Ignatius, Although there is a danger of 'the blind leading the blind' here, what worked for me was that I out in the version 3 activation code, but then got another box asking for the original activation key, and at that point put in the original 2.5 activation key - and, to my relief, saw...

Xenos, I had two activation keys and found that I needed both - the one that I received when I bought the upgrade to 3.0; but then I was asked for the original key, the one I was given when I first bought the product. This worked and my version of Parallels is reactivated. But I am very...

Xenos, I have been too busy to apply the fix you suggested to me some time ago - uninstall Parallels and then reinstall build 5584 - until now. All appears to have gone OK with the uninstall and reinstall except that my attempt to run it results in a request for an activation key - help...

Unlike others who are justifiably jubilant at having their cut-n-paste glitch fixed, I am still having problems. My OS is Leopard 10.5.1 and (now) my Parallels build is 5584 (16 Jan 2008), running Win XP as VM. Installing the fix via the link in this thread went smoothly, but now that I have...

Thank you Xenos for all you and your colleagues are doing to fix this troubling bug as speedily as possible. Just a further observation as to its many aspects - I had suspected this, but today have confirmed it: When working in Windows (Publisher) and using other Windows applications...

Forrestgump2000 has a point, but Hugh Watkins' and my "me too" posts were key to a full understanding of this problem because they confirm that upgrading from Tiger 10.4 to Leopard 10.5 is not a solution and that both Leopard and Tiger need to be looked at to find a fix. They clearly both share...

It does! I've upgraded to Leopard and still have the cut-n-paste problem.

I too have had this problem running Tiger with the latest (and seemingly offending) security patch. I upgraded to Leopard and find that the same problem is still present. Help!
