Parallels 6 and XP HID compliant mouse

[BoM]

Hi

upgraded to parallels 6 (wish I didn't)

My XP image cant upgrade to parallels 6 ... it requires the xp pro system disk for several drivers ... a disk that I do not have.
One of the files it requires is kuser.dll and another is HID compliant mouse drivers...

Why? and what to do. Don't answer "Buy a WIN XP" - please

You could try to disable USB keyboard and mouse at all adding the following boot flags for your VM using "Virtual Machine->Configure->Boot Order->Boot flags":

devices.usb.enable_mouse=0;devices.usb.enable_keyboard=0

Please let us know if this helps to you.

Fixes the mouse issue but not the dll issue. Tools cannot be installed.

Please fix asap.

Thanks

Still no good - ksuser.dll is required

Well - as Andy points out, it fixes the "HID compliant.." problem but NOT the ksuser.dll (see attached)

Please help!

is this a CD you have asked about?

Actually, the request for additional DLL seems strange. We have tested the install with standard WinXP SP3 and it was worked fine for us. What is XP are you using? SP2? SP3? How it has been created? Is this a VM installed from DVD or transported one?

Hi

XP with Service Pack 3.

And other way. You can locate system folder as source for this dll.
Try click Browse and select c:\windows\system32 path for 'Copy files from' field.

I found my XP SP3 cd and now it is up and running. It is just a pain that the CD is needed - my win 7 pro ticked through the parallels 6 update with no problems

Hello, seems like some "optimization" software delete C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\*.cab (for x32 version). This CAB's used to install drivers without installation media (CD/DVD).
