    I have a new MacBook Version 10.5.4 with 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo processor and 4 GB memory. I just installed Parallels 3.0 and a Windows XP virtual machine. When I try to install Parallels Tools, I get the message: "Parallels Tools require that your Windows is running under Virtual Machine. The installation will be stopped."
    I installed Windows using the Windows Express installation so I guess it should already have been installed but it clearly isn't.
    Thank you for any help you give me!

    Hi John,
    Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Actually, I just found that I needed to download the 5608 build update. Now Parallels Tools has installed just fine.
    cheers!
