I have a Macbook with OS X Leapord and use Parallels 5 and have a VM with WinXP SP3. I have an issue with mouse sensitivity in XP when playing games. It's as if the sensitivity is set way too high and I cant rotate a camera in games because it just rapidly spins. Mouse settings in both Mac and Windows do not help the problem. Any help?
Attach an additional USB mouse then attach this directly to the VM. This solved that issue for me. Coherence mode is then disabled and you get two mouse cursors when the VM isn't focused, but that was no biggy for me, but at least the mouse was fully controllable via the usual windows settings since OSX and Parallels were no longer involved. I agree that its an issue that should be addressed. Apparently the virtual mouse driver completely ignores mouse settings in windows.
That worked for me too, thanks! Only problem now is I cant see the mouse move using the USB mouse in Windows. Update. I tried manually searching the net or new drivers and it finds some, and these drivers let the mouse be visible, but I cant play games period so I had to roll back the drivers. It caused severe flicker and distortion of graphics. Wish there was some solution to this.
Hey guys, I am also having the exact same problem with this but I am using Parallels 6. Whenever I try to play a game, my Windows "look" capabilities take a drive and begin spinning out of control. Deeprave, are you saying that I should just get another mouse (I currently have a "Kensington" wireless mouse), and then use both in order to override the Coherence mode? It's just so annoying because this problem does not occur with Bootcamp! Guess the problem they had with Parallels 5 didn't get fixed in Parallels 6 afterall haha. Thanks for your help! Nick
