'Dedicated Mouse' Problems

Bit poster
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
