2.2 Parallels frequently shows Message

Hi,

using Win98SE as guest, I've installed the latest build(2092) of Parallels Tools inside the guest. The installation was fine and I rebooted.
Right after the reboot I got a message about a missing PCI Bridge driver (as reported by someone else here in this forum). OK that's not a problem, you can click it right away.

However I noticed sthg strange at this point and some minutes again (and again...).
After switching to the host OS (Windows XP btw), I suddendly got a message from Parallels, I should installed Parallels Tools. Eh? I did this right before! OK, of course I did not repeat the installation, but guess what? Some minutes later the reminder dialog appeared again!

What's wrong with my Parallels Workstation?

Sorry, but Parallels isn't complaining about a missing Parallels Tools installation but of an inconsistent installation of Parallels Tools, see image

On my laptop, I did a fresh install of Parallels Workstation 2.2. I then started up my Vista VM. Even after installing build 2092 of Parallel Tools inside my Vista VM, I was still seeing the "inconsistent" error message attached in the previous post. I chose to click the "Do not show this message again" check box because I did not want to get nagged about this.

Yes, of course I could do this either, but do I run the most current Parallels Tools version now? Who knows if all parts of it have been installed afterwards.
 
I'm running Suse10.1 as Host and Win xp as guest and tools installed just fine and I don't get that nag screen here.
