    Hi,

    I'm trying to get mac shares to show up in my windows 7 virtual machine. This used to just work for me with windows XP, but I've reinstalled onto a new computer with a windows 7 VM and I have not been able to get it to work. I've checked "Share mac folders with windows", and various combinations everywhere from single folders to all drives. I've clicked the 'connect all' button, but the shares do not seem to show up anywhere. I'm currently in 'shared newtwork' mode, but this didn't seem to work in host-only or bridged either. Am I missing something really obvious here? I don't have a lot of windows 7 experience, so perhaps there is some strange windows security things going on, but I'm not sure how to check that. Anybody have similar experiences? Many thanks!

    -Will

    I fixed the problem suggested for fixing issues related to drag and drop, and uninstalled Parallel Tools using window's uninstall software feature. I then re-installed parallels tools and it all seems to be working again.

    Thanks. That fixed my problem, too.
