I recently upgraded to Windows 7 SP1 (from Windows 7) by doing a fresh install. Initially MacLook worked perfectly fine for a few days, then all of a sudden the entire windows interface goes haywire. The title bars are a solid black line with no widgets, the Start Menu icon is transparent, and trying to access the Start Menu from the parallels menu in Coherence mode displays nothing. This problem exists in all modes (Window, Coherence, and Full Screen), and if I turn MacLook off everything is fixed (albeit it looks like Windows). I tried uninstalling Parallels Tools and reinstalling, but it does nothing. My build is 6.0.11994 (Revision 637263; February 17, 2011) and update says it's the latest version. Is SP1 not yet supported by Parallels, or am I doing something wrong?
Bump. Does anyone know anything about this issue? Here are some screenshots as an example as to what's happening. The first is what it looks like before MacLook is enabled, the second after I enable MacLook. In both screenshots I have chosen "Windows Start Menu" in the parallels menu. FYI - As noted above, it looks the same in Full Screen mode as well.
similar problems In particular, suddenly it takes ages to start the Windows Explorer (not Internet explorer) Win 7 - before fine, after SP1: bad. Reported this already some time back - so far no resolution. Cheers Klaus
