Still having problems with Windows 8 install

I'm still having some issues with Parallels 8 for Mac, latest build running Windows 8.
(1) on boot up I still get a black screen for a period of time and the total boot times is still over forty seconds. 2011 i5 iMac with 8 gig of RAM - 2 gig devoted to VM plus single core.

(2) still struggling getting back to start screen from Desktop i.e. pushing mouse into bottom left hand corner is very hit and miss.

 

i have the same issue

Can the new version of Parallels solve this problems?
