@ Jason Anderson Use the “prl-tools-other.iso”.

I too am having many problems post installation. I am unable to install parallel tools. I have tried all the ways provided. And I am also unable to see mac files in the network neighborhood. Is it because I am using Parallels v 6.0 ? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Sadly the Tools won’t work for me. If I connect the ISO manually and try to run the Autorun, it tells me “Needs Windows 2000 or higher”. Where can I get Windows 98 versions of the tools? And would they fix my display problem of only being able to use a slow refreshing 640×480 16 color screen?

Dear,
I have been trying to install Parallels Tools on my Win 98.
I got to sent the prl-tools-win.iso by Internet and let it explode in Win.
Unfortunately I get an error message.
I can send the image of it.

Someone can help me?

Thanks

Nick

I spent hours trying to install Windows 98 with Parallels 4: Forget it! It’s no problem with Vmware Fusion. Fusion rocks.

After installing Parallels Tools my windows 98 refuses to shut down properly. I receive a black window and I have to end Windows 98 by pressing the little red block. Starting up again, it takes a long time because it was not finished (it must scan everything) in the correct way.
Thanks for possible suggestions, and Thanks for all information on this forum!
