    Hallo everyone,

    we've installed Parallels Desktop (Italian version) on two brand new iMac Intel (bought 2 weeks ago and updated with the last releases from Apple).

    Yesterday we've downloaded and installed the update of Parallels Desktop and every time we load the virtual machine (Windows XP), the OS runs the setup file for Parallels Tools.

    What's the matter? After the first run, the setup says that Parallels Tools has been installed properly, but if we stop and relaunch Windows XP, the setup runs again.

    We've tried to uninstall Parallels tools from Windows XP using the control panel in Windows XP and then re-install again, but it doesn't work: Parallels Tools asks to be reinstalled, then it reboots and the setup runs again...


    Please, help, since all our works need AutoCAD and the only way to run it is using Parallels and Windows XP...



    Best regards,

    Momus
