    Anyone have any direct experience with Parallels Toosl? I just wanted to share my experience with Internet Explorer. I have a couple websites that require IE to access, given its reliance on multiple ActiveX controls. Initially, I wasn't able to get these sites to run properly. One of them kept accessing for permission to run a .cab file, even though User Account Control was set to the lowest setting. In another site, the spell checker would not work.

    I contacted/chatted with Help, and after a half hour, he installed Paralells Tools and these sites started to magically work!

    Curious to know if others have had a similar experience or not.

    I may have to walk back some of my initial enthusiasm, since some of the ActiveX controls are mysteriously no longer working (e.g. spell check, etc.).
