Bogus "Solve a problem with your virtual machine" message

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this minor issue and knows what to do about it.

I boot up my virtual Windows 7 machine, and the little flag icon in the tray always has a message saying "Solve a problem with your virtual machine." Clicking on this opens a window that tells me I need a driver, and provides a link ... clicking on this takes me to a help page with instructions on how to install Parallels Tools.

Except that I've already installed Parallels Tools. I chose "Reinstall Parallels Tools" from the Virtual Machine menu, just for kicks, but the "Solve a problem ..." message persists. I never have an option to "Update Parallels Tools" -- it's always "Reinstall" -- which I think means that I have the latest version of PT already installed.

I also am running the latest version of Parallels 6, and Windows 7 has already installed its latest updates.

I realize this is a minor issue, but it would be nice to not be notified of a problem when there isn't a problem.

I'm running Windows 7 inside Parallels 6 on Mac OS X Lion.

Thank you!
 
Of course right after I posted this message I found that in the Win 7 "Action Center" you can essentially ignore messages by archiving them. So that's a good enough solution for me! Ta da.
