    Hello,

    did you try to re-install Parallels Tools?

    Best regards,

    drag and drop

    Hello everybody.
    same PB as xtr3am. Only works from XP to Mac.
    (and yes, Stacey, I re-installed parallels tools.)
    For the moment I drag from "shared folders/the path to Mac desktop" to XP desktop.
    Not very handy.
    friendly, Ggebu.

    What is your Security level set at?
    What are the settings inside of Parallels Tools Center in Windows?

    Hello,

    unfortunately, drag and drop in 5582+Tiger is a known issue and we are already investigating it in-house. If drag and drop function is critical for you, the only way to solve it for now - to downgrade to 5160. I'm awfully sorry for the inconvenience.

    Best regards,
    Stacey

    Well, that "solution" does not work for me. I have the same drag and drop problem in 5160 or 5162 or 5582 (all German versions) with Tiger 10.4.11, even if I make a clean install of everything! Only 3214 works flawlessly. So, what is your advice for me?

    Happy New Year!

    Lower your security level to Medium and see what happens.

    NewSteffland, that's odd, it sounds like a Parallels program problem... Could there be anything conflicting from OS X?

    Yes, the bug has been confirmed by SWsoft. It has something to do with Apple's latest security patches around christmas. The guys form SWsoft are working hard on an update for January.

    This was also a problem for those of us still happily running OS 10.4.11. The new build 5584 of 16 January fixes the problem there too.
