Problem with shared folders

I have installed the newest version of Parallels, but am running into a problem with shared profiles. When I try to go to \\.psf, I am asked for a user/password. I tried the OSX login user/pass but it does not accept it.

I am running 10.5.3 and Windows XP. I have installed the newest version of parallels and desktop tools.

 

Are you using FileVault?
If not please try to disable and enable shared profile

 

What is file vault?

I have tried disabling shared profiles and re-enabling them with no help

No, I am not using FileVault

 

Please remove Parallels Shared Folders link from Desktop and from c:\program files\Parallels\Tools
Disconnect all network disk from My computer.
Stop VM, and remove all shared folders,
Start Stop VM
Add Shared folders back,

Also are shared folders mounting from some kind of wireless disk protected with password?

 

Tried and no go.

There is no wireless disks. I am trying to use the shared profiles on a iMac between the OSX system disk and the VM.

 

Hi,

This might be a problem with Parallels drivers. Try the following:
1. Unstinall parallels tools from windows vm from add/remove programs.
2. Reinstall Parallels Desktop according to recommendations from http://kb.parallels.com/en/4790
3. Install Parallels tools into your VM.

 

That got it. Thanks
