    I am using Parallels v6, OS 10 X Lion and the guest is Windows 7 Ultimate.

    My settings are as described in the manual (sharing isn't blocked, copy paste is enabled, etc.).

    Yet no matter what I try, I cannot copy something from my Mac (e.g. a URL in an email) and paste it to Windows (e.g. into IE or FireFox) using CNTRL+V or CMD+V (the key is mapped). Nothing happens.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    As always, your first troubleshooting technique should be to uninstall and reinstall the Parallels Tools in the VM.

    Thanks, Steve.

    That seems to have fixed the problem.
