    Hi All,

    Just wondering how you download and install Parallels Tools - can't find it on the parallels site.

    Also, is there a link to these forums from the main Parallels site?

    Cheers

    Ben

    See the orange menu bar near the top of your screen. One says Download.
    I don't believe so.

    Thanks for the quick reply - I checked downloads but can't see a tools installer.

    Is this something I install under OSX or in my Windows guest OS?

    You install parallel tools from within the application in OS X, - its in the VM menu item

    Just to clarify,

    I have purchased and installed Parallels and have had my XP guest OS up and running for about 3 weeks.

    Was just wondering where the Parallels Tools software is...

    The manual says it's in the "System Tray". I took that to mean XP's control pannels but couldn't see it anywhere - a search also revealed nothing so I assumed it needs to be installed afterwards.
