What exactly are steps 1-4?
Parallels:
Could you tell us what the 4 steps are exactly? It appears that step 2 is the installation of Parallels Tools, but what are the other three? I ask because although v. 4 appears to be working- after a few attempts at installing it- I don't know if it is operating as designed and/or at optimal efficiency. Perhaps if I know what all the steps are I would know what to look for in terms of correct operation.
Background: during my first attempt at installing v. 4 my computer went through step 1 fine, albeit slowly, then hung up on step 2. An attempt to install Parallels Tools manually at this point again brought up the "4 step" window and it again stalled at step 2, this time not allowing my input devices to work. I force-quit Parallels and reinstalled v.4 and this time, rather than going to "4 step" window, it just seemed to slowly open XP while asking for the location of various hardware drivers. I manually installed Parallels Tools, and now everything seems to work fine. Files and programs from v. 3 seem to open and operate correctly. It even stopped looking for drivers. The changes I see are very impressive! I just want to make sure everything is as it should be. Is there a way of verifying whether or not the installation is complete and correct?
