"\\.psf is not accessible"

\\.psf is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. (...) The system cannot find the file specified."

- Using Windows Vista Home Ultimate
- Parallels 3.0, build 5160
- Parallels Tools is installed (and I can see the Parallels icon in the lower right corner of the bar and it also says in there that Shared Folders are enabled)
- I have enable Shared Folders for "All Mac disks"
- I am logged in as Admin under Windows and as normal user under Mac OS
- In Mac, I can see the Windows disk as a mounted image and I can read, but not write on it using the Finder.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
 
Hello,

let's try to install it manually.
1. Open Control Panel->Network and Sharing Center->Manage network connection.
2. Right click Parallels Network Adapter and choose properties.
3. Click Install.
4. Choose Add service.
5. Click Have disk, browse for C:\Program Files\Parallels\Parallels Tools\PrlNP.inf and install it.
I hope it will help.

Best regrds,
Stacey

Hi,

If reinstalling Parallels tools does not help then try completely removing Parallels form your MAc (will not affect your Windows VM - all data will still be there) according to the following article:

After that install Parallels Desktop, start Windows and install Parallels tools in it.
