First off I am not much of a computer whiz. I have been using Parallels for a little while now on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. This evening when going into Parallels on my macbook pro it opens seamlessly, but when I click on the internet explorer icon(or any other one for that matter), my mouse cursor disappears and does not open. I get a message saying click control/alt to free cursor. I am sure this is something really simple but I cannot find anything specifically related to this issue. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
