neither VM to Host either way
copy paste nor drag and drop work for now

and the program failed to close on shut down for the first time ever
which is how I know it exists

For someone used to older versions of VMWare (PC on PC), Parallels is pretty darn cool.

Macbook Pro running OS X 10.5.4
Parallels 3.0 Build 5608
XPSP2

My paste works for a while, then stops working during the day. The machine does not go to sleep during the day, but the screensaver is activated using a HotSpot.

I use <Ctrl>-<keys> and <Command>-<Keys> as well as r-clicking to get between both.

I've tried killing and restarting the Parallels tool in the Windows instance, but this does not always work (and is a workaround, not a solution).

Sometimes Parallel Tools gets itself killed and I have to restart it.

I have also locked up Parallels doing fast cut/pastes between MS apps. Cut/alt-tab/paste/alt-tab/arrow-down/copy/paste.... I'm willing to bet if I turned off the parallel tools clipboard feature, this would not occur. Text sizes were

Rebooting the guest OS (XP) generally does resolve the issue (had to reboot the Mac once), but this is also a workaround, not a solution.

Thanks for listening!!
