the Virtual Machine Configuration dialog.
Reinstalling Parallels Tools
To reinstall Parallels Tools, start your virtual machine, and select Reinstall Parallels Tools from
the Virtual Machine menu. This option is available only if Parallels Tools are up-to-date. If
Parallels Tools are outdated, you will see the Update Parallels Tools option instead.
How to check if Parallels Tools have been installed
You can easily confirm whether Parallels Tools were installed. Start your virtual machine and
look at the status bar of its window. If the tip "Press Ctrl + Alt to release the
mouse and keyboard" appears in the status bar of the virtual machine's window, this
means that Parallels Tools were not installed. When Parallels Tools are installed, you do not
need to press any key to release the mouse and keyboard - they are released automatically.
