    Hi,

    using Win98SE as guest, I've installed the latest build(2092) of Parallels Tools inside the guest. The installation was fine and I rebooted.
    Right after the reboot I got a message about a missing PCI Bridge driver (as reported by someone else here in this forum). OK that's not a problem, you can click it right away.

    However I noticed sthg strange at this point and some minutes again (and again...).
    After switching to the host OS (Windows XP btw), I suddendly got a message from Parallels, I should installed Parallels Tools. Eh? I did this right before! OK, of course I did not repeat the installation, but guess what? Some minutes later the reminder dialog appeared again!

    What's wrong with my Parallels Workstation?

    Sorry, but Parallels isn't complaining about a missing Parallels Tools installation but of an inconsistent installation of Parallels Tools, see image

    On my laptop, I did a fresh install of Parallels Workstation 2.2. I then started up my Vista VM. Even after installing build 2092 of Parallel Tools inside my Vista VM, I was still seeing the "inconsistent" error message attached in the previous post. I chose to click the "Do not show this message again" check box because I did not want to get nagged about this.

    Yes, of course I could do this either, but do I run the most current Parallels Tools version now? Who knows if all parts of it have been installed afterwards.
