    I'm having these issues in PD6 on my iMac running Windows 7.

    Background:
    - Windows 7 32bit running fullscreen on an external monitor
    - An external USB mouse dedicated to the VM.
    - Smart mouse setting Off (No mouse cursor when set to On)

    Everything works for the most part except:

    1) While working on the VM monitor, screensaver kicks in, Display goes to sleep etc. I have to use the primary Apple mouse to trigger activity.

    Expected operation: The external monitor full screen should work like DVD Player or playback using Quicktime in fullscreen which does not put the monitor to sleep while watching a movie for example.

    2) When 'Smart Mouse' is set to Off, Parallels Mobile touch operations are totally messed up - clicks register far away or brings up Start menu, becomes pretty much useless.

    Any fixes or workaround of these issues?

    Thanks

    Kris
