    Hiya,
    I'm running windows XP on parallels 3.0 build 5160 on a new 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo 24 inch aluminum iMac in OS X 10.4.10. Parallels is running on a second screen (Acer 22 in. x221w via mini-DVI to DVI adapter).
    If I shut down Windows XP while in full screen mode on the secondary monitor, after windows shuts down, my OS X first desktop stretches across both screens and appears zoomed in on the center of the wallpaper. My mouse boundaries are limited to the screen's meaning I can't "reach" or see either the apple menu or the dock. Using keyboard shortcuts I can get to system preferences > displays but can't see the display setup because it is off the top edge of the screen. Eventually the whole system just shuts down. I am always able to reproduce this. If I shut down XP in windowed mode it works fine.
    I'd file a bug report but can't find a form. I tried googling parallels bug and found this: http://forums.parallels.com/thread7257.html . I get that garbage on the main screen too sometimes, but this crash is more important to me.
    Thanks,
    Jordan
