This doesn't work for me. I still get the same error: "Your security privileges cannot allow you to compact volume C:\" I had posted about this a while back here: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?p=52310 Any ideas?

I am still having this with the final release 3186 too. I have even tried going to C:\Program Files\Parallels\Parallels Tools\ and right-clicking on ParallelsToolsCenter.exe and selecting 'Run As Administrator' to make sure that it had enough privledges. Still no go though. Has anyone...

Thanks!!!! After about the tenth time of my download getting stopped from Parallels I was really starting to get mad!!

I know. I saw this too. I wonder why it would be 3168 though. I thought RC3 was 3170.

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, what version of Vista are you running? I'm running Business.

Thanks for the reply! Anyone else try running disk compactor in Vista?

I'm probably overlooking something obvious here but when I try and run 'Disk Compacting' from Parallels Tools Center I get this error message: "Your security privileges cannot allow you to compact volume C:\" I am logged in as an administrator so I should have the "privileges" to do this...

The Vista upgrade DVD within an XP VM? That will not work because lack of ACPI support. You need to create a new Vista VM and install a clean copy of Vista and the upgrade that. Just read this thread and you will figure out what you need to do.

Ok I did this and it allowed me to activate. So everything is fine. I justed deleted the c:\windows.old folder when I was done to get back some hard drive space.

No. When I go to activate I will try that though. Thanks!

Ok. That allowed me to do a full clean install. I have installed the Parallel Tools and everything seems to be working fine. I have not tried to activate yet because I want to play around a little before I do as I might reinstall again. If someone else activates please post your outcome...

So far so good. I am installing now at least. Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I'll post back and let everyone know if it works completely and lets me activate.

I hear you. I soooo wish they would fix this. I HATE REBOOTING MY MAC! :mad: :mad:

I thought it was too, until this morning. Once again I had to reboot my entire Macbook Pro. I really wish they would get this fixed.

me either... :/

Good point! I don't think that is enabled by default though, you would have to enable it in system preferences: SYSTEM PREFS --> KEYBOARD & MOUSE --> Enable 'Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click' Then you can just put both fingers on the trackpad and click to...

try holding down CONTROL and SHIFT and then clicking the mouse button.

I had started a thread on this a while back: http://forums.parallels.com/thread3985.html 1940 still does this for me. I will have to try the work around listed above the next time it does this. Hopefully that will work because I HATE rebooting my MacBook Pro! Please fix this Parallels!

I am having this same problem. I've rebooted the VM several times and the sound is still choppy. Anyone else getting this? I'm running RC1 but I had the same problems with Beta2.

Those are the same settings I have in Windows. Thanks for the reply! Can't wait to get the non-beta version to see if this is fixed.
