    Super Frustrated.

    Have Lion and Parallels 7 (fully updated) running Win7-64 Bit in the VM. Regardless of the tool chosen to do a screen capture to the clipboard, when I clip from the Mac side, I cannot paste back into the Win7 VM successfully. Read a few other postings here and noticed a thread to uninstall Parallels Tools and reinstall. I did this and it seemed to fix the problem UNTIL I entered Coherence. Once in Coherence mode (in Outlook 2010), it pastes the dreaded outlined box, saying it can't display the picture. If I go out of Coherence, it's still corrupted.

    Uninstalled Tools again, and same thing. Works flawlessly (using either Mac screenshot or Grabbit), UNTIL I enter Coherence. Then corrupted again.

    Parallels? What's up? Anyone else?

    How exactly are you doing the screen capture? You mention "regardless of tool chosen" but you don't mention what tools you've used and what you've tried.

    Capture

    Using Grabbit or just the Apple keyboard for a screenshot. Doesn't really make any difference which tool I use to do a screen capture copy to the clipboard.

    By default, screenshots are in .png format. Maybe what you're pasting into can't support that. Does pasting work OK on the Mac side?
