Console view window- can you help?
I have just installed parallels desktop on my Macbook 13". It works fine but the console view window has expanded beyond the size of my screen; I cannot resize it because the resize button falls below the bottom of my screen. Is there a way to reduce the size of the console view window so that I can see the whole XP window as well as my MacOS X desktop?

Yes. I can grab the title bar at the top and move the window sideways to reveal the green "play" button on the side. Is this the green button you refer to?

I can't see the Taskbar or the Start Menu without switching to full screen mode. I can't get to the notification area (with the clock) on the bottom of the console view window either. The whole console view is a bit too big for my screen. I am running my display on the maximum setting (1280 X 800) so I can't go any higher to see the whole Parallels window.

What is your guest OS? If it's Windows,
1. Right-click your Windows desktop and select Properties.
2. Select Settings tab.
3. Move "Screen Resolution" slider closer to left - something like 1024x768.
4. Click OK.
