I have both Fusion and Parallels installed on my MacBook Pro and iMac. I have enjoyed the ease of use far more in Parallels for professional applications and there use of Coherence versus Fusion's Unity. However currently I keep both programs installed with duplicate VMs because of one issue:
Mouse behavior while gaming in Parallels
It is almost unusable. I have changed all the settings and it still does not help. My game of choice currently is LOTRO and it makes the gaming experience very difficult when you cannot use the mouse for looking about your character (interestingly enough the Right Click + hold works just fine, it is the left click + hold for pivoting around the character that gives the issue). I had the same issue in Warhammer and also AgeOfConan.
Does anyone else play MMOs in Parallels and experience the same issues? Does anyone have a fix so I can recover almost 80GB of wasted space on duplicate VM copies?
**Edit: This is happening in both Windows XP SP 3 and Windows 7 (and yes I know this is experimental)
Thanks
