I was working fine with the parallels on my macbook... booting windows xp.....
i use the program virtue desktop to switch from mac to windows, and i set a shortcut for it.
but recently, while im in windows xp ... i cannot switch the desktops, i have no acess to the expose corners....and also the dashboard... it seems like the parallels have captured all my mouse and keyboard input in it.... but i already install the parallels tools..... i did not change anything in the options,... but suddenly it just acted weird.... can anyone please give me some advice... thank you very much.
 
I second, uh, third that...

I ran into the same problem since the update to the beta. I've lost ability to shift desktops with ctrl-shift-arrow and have to get out of full-screen mode first to switch desktops.

I have the same problem. I have to 'ctrl+alt' to go into windowed mode before I can switch desktops. :(

In the Mac System Preferences, Universal Access, play with the option "Enable support for assistive devices". Turn if off or on, and see wether one mode helps you. I have recently turned off Virtue Desktops and turned on that Mac OS X option to get a better full capture of the mouse and keyboard when inside my VM. To the expense that now, I have to ctrl-alt to get the keyboard back to Mac OS X before being able to Command-Tab at the Mac OS X level. So I guess turning this setting off might help you.
