When using Parallels I have Windows XP as a virtual machine. MAC OS X 10.6.1 is the main OS. I am able to drag and drop from XP to OSX perfectly. Takes less than 1 second. But when I try to drag a simple 1KB text file from my Mac and drop it to the XP virtual machine, the copy will take over 90 seconds. That goes for any and every file. I do have drag and drop enabled. Here are the specs you'll ask for: Mac OSX 10.6.1 Build 10B504 Parallels 4.0 Build 4.0.3846 Yes, I have reinstalled Parallels Tools Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Parallels Tools. I have tried this in full screen, windowed, and coherence modes. I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
Hello, Please uninstall Parallels Tools completely and reinstall it. Please follow the article below to completely uninstall it and reinstall it: http://kb.parallels.com/en/5116
Would this apply to Windows 7? When I drag-n-drop more than one file from Win 7 to Mac OS X, to overwrite a file it gets stuck at "Preparing Copy" and it never stops.
