    Hi.

    I'm running Parallels with Win XP pro on a Macbook. When I use an external TFT-Display and have Windows on that display, I don't get any mouse-over action, i.e. only clicking will do something for me, but just pointing at sth. such as a link or similar will do nothing for me.
    Anything I can do about this?
    Thanks,

    Joern

    Hate to post a me too, but I'd really like to find a solution to this problem if it exists. No activity on the topic in a couple of months now...

    My 24" Widescreen LCD display looks absolutely terrible at 1280x1024. For anyone else who runs across this thread, I can put Parallels into single windowed mode and maximize the window. It's not ideal, but an acceptable work-around for now. Coherence also works correctly, so I can just make sure all my Guest OS windows go to the external display.
