Hello shawn,

Please perform these steps:

1) Go to start->control panel->add/remove programs.
2) Remove the Parallels Tools.
3) It will reboot after uninstall.
4) Again go to Virtual Machine->Install Parallels Tools.
5) This will install Parallels Tools and reboot.
6) It should work fine.

Thank you.

Latest Desktop ver4.0.3848 is not compatible with coherence

Dear Shawn,

I had a same problem with you about starting with coherence mode in Windows XP SP3.
Please check your Paralles Desktop version. In my case, Desktop version 4.0.3848 was not compatible with coherence mode in virtual OS Windows XP SP3.
After uninstalling ver. 4.0.3848 and reinstalling ver. 4.0.3844, coherence mode was available. So you should ask Paralles to permit you to use old version 4.0.3844.

My enviroment:

MacBook2.1GHz,4GB)

System
1. OS10.5.8
2. Windows XP SP3

Best wishes,

Yas

Obtaining earlier Parallels version?

Yasuhiro,

How do you ask Parallels for the earlier Desktop version 4.0.3844? So you managed to do that for free? Thanks.
