Running Windows XP under Parallels, whenever open a document that is in a shared folder and then try to save that document, i get an "error disk is full" message. Cuirously, if I "save as" or create a new file in those shared folders, everything works. Is there something I'm missing, like a permissions setting under OSX or something? I'd really like to be able to seemlessly share files between OSX and the virtual machines.

same here
I have the same problem. I can save to a new file, but not to the file that I opened. Anyone know if this has been addressed in the new beta? I'm not eager to try a beta myself because I'm highly dependent upon Parallels now, spending most of my work day running Windows from OS X.

I just tried this, i created a document under notepad saved it, brought it up in wordpad copied a bunch of text in saved it no problem
I then opened a 500k tiff file in paint shop pro and saved it.
This got me curious because i used the shared for just passing back and forth not as a hold place
so this seems fine under beta, plus it is much faster

Saving Documents in Shared Folders
But was this in a shared folder, on the Mac side? Or in a Parallels folder on the Win side? If so, perhaps it is just some kinds of files?? I have the same problem described by others. I've downloaded the latest Beta, I think (build 1862). The beta has a 'network drive' that works wonderful, but the same save problem is there. I save all my documents on the Mac side of the computer, because I a) sometimes access pdf and .jpg files there and b) when I backup all my stuff it is all in one place. But I have to constantly 'save as' in Word Perfect or other programs as it gives me a 'cannot open file' error message - when I try to save the file on the Mac side. I emailed Parallels support but have not heard back....
