Hi,

Found an unanswered Q from another user here:
http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=15475&highlight=mouse+pointer+double

I have the exact same problem.

I boot in Coherence mode, and my version is 5608 (latest one).

Can anyone help me? My Mac cursor lays on top of the Win cursor (after a while in use). I also get a strange problem where I can't move the Win (client) mouse to the wanted area inside programs. It jumps back to the middle of the screen (Also when in single window mode).

Rgds,

Tmorv.
 
I'm having the same problem w/ 5608 only my Mac pointer overlays the Windows one immediately. I've tried enabling and disabling the DirectX Shaders in addition to using different resolutions but still no luck. I'm using XP as my Windows client and OSX 10.5.3.

Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a thread I started last week about the same problem: http://forums.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=21528

Thanks!
 
I suppose Parallels Tools restart in VM will help, as for cause, this is causing by high resolution, at some point when on Mac there is no free memory such situation may happen
 
No luck after reinstalling Parallels Tools and playing w/ resolution settings. Lots of memory available too. :(
 
Same..

Hi,

Same error. Tried most of the usual things like unplugging Wacom board, set boot in Single View, Reinstalled the Parallels Tools Center ++.

I have XP Service Pack 3 if that helps..

I have figured out that what is happening is MOUSE SYNCHRONIZATION is being disabled somehow. I figured this out by going into tools and when I disabled it, the dual pointers came up just like when it happens during the game my child is attempting to play. Turn it back on and whalla - one pointer again. ALSO - I noticed that while in the game in which the two pointers come up, I have to press CTRL/ALT to release the mouse to MAC.

So... any ideas why Parallels Tools is disabling Mouse Synch. during my son'e backyard baseball game as well as other games?
