    I Have installed the latest update to Parallels 3.0 and installed Java's latest version in Windows XP Home and when I goto open the Java Control Panel I don't see anything the window looks like my desktop wallpaper and some times like my Windows XP Control Panel background. Any clues why??:confused:

    Same here. Java program windows open, but never "fill in" inside them. The programs aren't unresponsive though, I can send them away normally(click the X in the corner). This is with Parallels 3 build 4560, Windows XP SP2, Java 1.6 ( update 1 and 2). Have the problem both on my MacBook Pro Core Duo 17" (2 GB memory) and my MacPro 3.0 Quad processor (3 GB memory).

    I am not sure if this is an answer, but try to disable DirectX in Parallels preference. I had a similar problem with Maple Software Java client and disabling DirectX solved the problem.

    You're right, it's the DirectX support. Turned it off and the java programs are running correctly. Thanks!

    i also know this problem. i always fix it by resizing the parallels windows. after that, the invisible gui becomes visible.
