    Try reinstalling Parallels Tools and restarting the virtual machine.

    Same problem here. I did that, but no dice. :(

    Doing it again and will report back.

    Ok, reinstalled. Rebooted. Worked fine until I suspended my Windows XP Vm, and now Copy and Paste isn't functioning.

    Works in Bootcamp partition & not virtual HD

    I've got a bootcamp partition on a separate drive. Had lots of problems with that under Parallels 5, but now it's working (the good news) under 6. I had to install a virtual HD in order to use XP Pro while still in Mac land under 5. So, I've got two installs of XP pro (both completely up to date). When I upgraded to 6, I found I can cut and paste between the bootcamp partition and the mac, but not between the virtual HD and the mac.

    I've reloaded Parallel tools at least a dozen times. Played with the firewall in windoze, but nothing seems to solve the problem.

    Suggestions?
