I am using a wireless Xbox360 controller for windows (with a USB dongle receiver) and my Mac screensaver kicks in during game playing, which I assume is because I'm not using the keyboard or mouse. I don't want to turn off my OSX screensaver - I just want parallels to recognise that the computer is being used when I'm playing a game with the xbox controller. I'm using parallels 5 under 10.6.2 on a 27" core i7 iMac. Thanks in advance.
I've run into this when using an console emulator - so it may be more a Mac thing than a Parallels / Window thing.
I too have this problem when using MAME and the Xbox wireless controller via the Wireless receiver. Can anyone fix this (other than turning off the OS X Energy Saving and screensaver)? Os X Lion 10.7.1, Parallels 6.0 latest build, Windows 7 SP1 x64 guest.
