Hi, after the upgrade to new build, on both my VM (Windows XP and Windows 8.1) I can't see the Mac Disks (local disk, usb disk, network unit) and shared folders. I've tried to disable/enable the options into the menu, but nothing changed. Could it be caused from the upgrade? Thanks -nt
Hi Nicola, Can you please try to reinstall Parallels Tools? Window/FullScreen mode - menu bar menu: Virtual Machine -> Reinstall Parallels tools...
Hi, problem solved on Windows 8, but still present on VM with Windows XP. I've tried to reinstall Parallels Tools twice, but I can't see the Mac Disks. Other ideas? Thanks
Hello, After build 23350 PD9, my Windows 7 does not shut down properly. It used to shutdown properly before build 23350. It mentions prl_cc.exe as holding up the shutdown. I then have to force quit that app and then the shutdown is normal. Is it possible to get the previous build? I do not see the dmg file anywhere on my Mac. I am on OSX10.9 Thanks for any help.
After upgrading to 23350 and updating Parallels Tools in Win 7 and Win XP VMs, not only Parallels Desktop freezes, it also caused OS X to freeze with garbled display or grey screen, and followed by 3-beep alarms (Apple's KB suggest that it's the hardware problem). It doesn't seem like a hardware problem because no other softwares would cause the same problem. Previous builds works pretty well but this build (23350) is a catastrophe. Please advice!
Hi, I am having the same problem, the Z: home drive is gone on Windows XP. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Parallels Tools, it didn't help.
I opened "Parallels Shared Folders" on Windows XP and Mapped a network drive to my shared home directory, it is back to the way it was now. It looks like just the drive mapping was lost, not the folder sharing.
Oh Dear Parallels ... no longer can I trust to update every time a new build comes along!! My Mac drives no longer accessible from Windows XP, although the Tools update went without error on 3 VMs and the VMs and Mac appear to work fine - except the lack of mapped drives!!! What has gone wrong? Why this drastic change and no mention of apology from Parallels???? Some of us use and depend on Parallels for business/work use - not just playing Solitaire!! Not good enough.
