Hallo again, I've isolated the problem regarding the autorun of Parallels Tools setup at every reboot of Windows. Exploring the devices connected, seems that instead of the default CD/DVD of the Mac, Windows (or Parallels) loads this removable disc (it appears as "D:") qicht contains the Parallels Tools Setup and a autorun.inf file... It's like inserting a autoexecutable CD every time that Windows XP (and Vista, I've tried both) starts... Any idea on how to avoid this annoying problem? Regards, Momus
disable the cd drive as default ? or rename the .iso file in /Library/Parallels/Tools perhaps.. just throwing suggestions..
I'm having the same problem. Have tried the uninstall while in regular AND safe mode methods with no luck, and don't seem to have a way of ejecting, trashing or somehow disabling the Tools installer that sits on the root of the My Computer directory as drive D.
I found the fix for this in another topic that I didn't see when researching this issue earlier. Seems to have fixed the problem ---------------- Posted by SteveDemy: I had this problem. For some reason, the CD had become permanently attached to an .iso file that contains the Tools installation files. So each time Parallels was started, I would be re-invited to install (or remove) Parallels Tools. The solution was simple. Mouse over to the CD icon in the lower right corner of the Parallels application window. Select "Default CD/DVD-ROM" instead of the VM Tools .iso file. That restored normal operation for me. ------------------ After reboot, restart, sleep, suspension whatever the CD icon retains the Connect to Default CD/DVD-ROM option which stops the installer from firing up every time. It also gets rid of the Parallels Tools Installer in Drive D, and turns Drive D back into the CD Drive. Thanks for the fix Steve!!!!
