Coherence doesnt work

The Coherence feature, as well as the drag and drop feature is not working for me on the latest build of Parallels. I have windows xp sp2 installed and everything else is fine. But when I click on the Coherence button, nothing happens. I've tried resetting the virtual machine, restarting etc. but no go. I'm using the bootcamp windows and I'm on a MBP C2D 2.16Ghz.

Any ideas?

Did you update Parallels Tools in XP after upgrading to the new build?
 
I didn't upgrade, that's the thing. It is my first parallels install. I'll reinstall the Tools in XP and see if that works...
 
Great, now I cannot boot into Windows via bootcamp at all - once the black screen loads I cant select anything - it seems not to be recognising the keyboard.
 
I had the same "non recognised keyboard strokes" issue, which seemed to be solved by tapping my arrow keys as soon as windows started booting. Looked like it "activated" my keyboard in time so that I could use it. It might just be random luck though, as I haven't tried it more than once.
