    Hi,
    I can copy from my mac (osx 10.5) to vista but not back other way.
    I have the PSF folder on vista desktop and can see folders on the mac and I can copy across but nothing arrives after it has finished.
    I'm instructed that Offline is not available and offline staus is online.??
    Any ideas what is wrong?
    Regards,
    Simon Plant

    I have latest edition as advised I now have the following problem but no error messages....

    This is a new problem as well as the networking one I posted earlier..
    Parallels loads but now will not work ie I do not get the stop play pause etc buttons appearing.
    Can you please advise? I'm running imac 10.5 with vista through boot camp.
    Regards

    Hello,

    please, try to reinstall Parallels Desktop. Will it solve the issue with the disappeared buttons?
    Will the first issue still occur too?
    Anyway, please, tell me what Parallels Desktop build you are using at the moment? Thank you for you patience!

    Parallels 5584 latest edition.
    The control buttons on configuration panel (ones that where on rt side)have gone and I can't get them back are you saying to try and re install Parallels again?
    As I mentioned earlier I can drag files from my mac to vista but not back the other way.I do have a shared folder on vista desktop (not on mac) but I still cant seem to use this to send files to my mac.Can you please advise how to set this up?
    Regards,Simon

    Is it possible that the files I am dragging onto my mac desktop are hidden?
    I emailed myself 2 excel sheets and opened them on my mac desktop and it asked me if I wished to replace the two that where already there?
    I had this yesterday with another file too.

    Hello,

    yes, please, try to uninstall PD and install it again - will it solve the issue with buttons?

    As for that drag-and-drop issue, please, after you reinstall PD, try to reinstall MacFUSE too. You can download the latest version here.
