    I upgraded from Parallels 3 to 4 on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.5.6.) I am running Windows XP as the guest OS. Since upgrading:

    - I can't put Parallels into coherence mode. I can only run Windows in a window
    - Kaspersky tools have not installed.
    - I have set up two shared folders to be mapped to drive letters. Neither appears in Windows, not in My Computer, not when I open the Parallels Shared folders icon on the Windows desktop.

    I suspect that the update didn't complete. A Parallels support person said to:
    * Locate the update file in your default download file location.
    * Double-click the update file.
    * Click Install, and follow the installation assistant.
    There is nothing in my downloads folder that looks anything like a Parallels update file. What now?

    Can't install 'em. When I click Install Parallels Tools in the Virtual Machines menu, nothing happens.
