    hi all,
    I have parallels 3 build 4560 installed on a macbook pro and am using it to run windows xp. when i first installed it i was able to copy (i.e. apple key + C) in a mac program and then paste into a windows program with no problems. i have also lost the ability to drag and drop from one os to the other. any ideas why these features have stopped working?

    Many thanks in advance for help.

    Jon

    no takers?
    i have tried a re-install but to no effect. so far as i can tell i have not changed anything.
    has no one else experienced this - even if they have not found a solution?
    Parallels has become an integral part of my work - a solution would be hugely helpful!

    Thanks,
    Jon

    Hello, Jon!

    Please reinstall Parallels Tools via Actions menu. Please note that Parallels Clipboard supports plain text only (without images and formats),

    Best regards,
    John
