Newbie Sorry

I have not had a mac in several years. I am using Parrallels 4.0.3522, and I am trying to install my copy (CD) of Win XP Pro. I have used this disc on my computer dozens of times. I have setup the virtual machine and am installing it, and it gets to a certain point, the same each time and stops and displays a message on the "status bar" stating "Parallels Tools are not installed." I try to install them from the Virtual Machine - Install Parallels Tools option, but nothing happens. From what I have read you have to have the Windows installed to install tools. Why won't my windows finish installing? Anything I can do? Also how to I remove a vm?

 

ajthornton,

First of all, get the latest 3810 build:

http://www.parallels.com/download/desktop/

This will hopefully fix the issue.

Virtual machines can be delted by having it's window open and have the virtual machine stopped, and then going to File -> Delete... There you can choose, if you want to remove the VM completely, or just from the list of VM's.

 

Will I have to buy a new key, or will the one that i work. I do not want to pay anymore.

 

ajthornton,

No need to pay, since you already purchased Parallels Desktop 4, and new builds are free updates.
