PD7 IE9 DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow

Ever since I upgraded to PD7 I cannot get this example to work: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/filter/Shadow.htm

Does anyone else have this problem running Parallels Desktop 7 and with IE9 as the browser? Perhaps a bug? A website I use uses this DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow and was wondering what was happening. I narrowed it down to this.

 

More details: 2011 MacBook Air 13" i7 with Lion and Parallels Desktop 7 (Upgraded from 6) with Windows Home Premium x64. Windows Updates are all current.

 

afrazee,

Thanks for catching this. As a temporary workaround you can switch Windows desktop to Basic theme.

 

That's odd. I was told:

"Regarding the issue please be informed that, we checked the same in our test machines in the lab and did not come across any problem."

When I contacted support. From:

ticket # was 1206997

 

Support machine may have been running Basic theme. But thanks, I'll pass that to support for clarification.

 

What I did to solve the problem is uninstall ie9. Ie8 handles it fine.

 

afrazee,

The above IE9 issue is fixed in PD7 update, see http://kb.parallels.com/en/112281.
