Full screen windows app is too big

Hi,

Since upgrading to parallels desktop 9, and now with 10, a full screen windows app I'm using is unusable in coherence mode. The app's menus are hidden behind the mac top bar, while the app's bottom part is behind the mac's taskbar.
See this image that shows this app: http://screencast.com/t/8PYE7YRl.
The only way I can work with this app is in non-coherence mode.

Is there any way to configure parallels desktop to open this app the way it used to in version 8, i.e. covering only the usable parts of the screen?

Regards
Ran

 

You may try to set OS in VM properties to Windows 2000.

 

Hi StanislavZ,

Thank you for the reply. How do I do that? I looked in the configuration screen and haven't found any way to set the OS.

Nevermind, found it

 

And it works! Now my full screen application opens nicely in between the top bar and the taskbar.
Can I expect any problems from this change?

Thanks
Ran
