Hello: I have updated P4 to the latest build (3810) and have found a very significant improvement in overall load time and operability but one issue has persisted from the earlier builds and it relates to Parallels Tools. Once windows, in this case XP Pro, is loaded it takes anywhere from 30 to 50 seconds for Coherence Mode to appear as Tools loads itself. Since I have not been able to find anything in the knowledge base to indicate whether this is normal behavior, I have decided to query other users via this post. Thank you all in advance.
