    Just installed Parallels (and some translation software) and find I can't resize the Parallels window so as to see the whole page. Zooming doesn't help - I still only get three-quarters of the detail, just bigger and fuzzier. I want to see the whole page! Help!

    why can you not resize the window? what happens when you try?

    to resize a window on the mac side, hover the mouse in one of the corners of the window (if you're on mountain lion) or on the bottom right (any other version of os x). your mouse pointer will turn into an arrow. click+drag the window to resize. this will automatically resize your vm's screen resolution.

    additionally you can run in coherence mode and simply full-screen the browser window. or run the VM in full-screen mode.

    Hi Tony,

    and thanks a lot for your response. I'm a complete newbie, as you probably picked up. I think I've resolved the issue - I hadn't yet installed Parallels Tools, and I wasn't yet in Coherence mode. I'm busy fiddling with it now, but I'm pretty sure Coherence mode enables me to see the full screen. Will report back...
