Mac side screwy

[Traditional]

Since installing the Parallels 3.0 on to my macbook, I have noticed certain quirks. In my microsoft exel and word programs. The pages do not come up i can type and work on the page but I have no idea where on the page I am. After a while the page appears , I then have to scroll around to straighten the text or images. My Graphic Converter is messed up as well, if I open a file from the "file" menu it gives me cropped menu, the scoll and expand options are cropped.
I need some help?

Hello,

could you please attach a screenshot of such corrupted window or menu?

OK, this is what I'm talking about "screwy" All of the past issues have cleared up. But I tried to run the parallels again and this time it blanked out the mail application. The first snapshot is the result of "mail" icon click. (normally bringing up mailbox screen.) second snapshot is clicking on "mailbox" tab and "go to" option to have the screen come up.
I shut the Mac book off last night 4 days of misc. screwy things that eventually clear up on their own is driving me nuts. I've been sending crash reports to Mac when they happen. Can the Mac book fix itself that way?
This morning I fired up the Mac book, mail is running fine and so far things are back to normal.
My problem still lies with trying to run parallels and set up the windows.
I click on the parallels icon, a boot camp virtual window pops up and freezes. the last entry on the virtual screen reads 'Missing operating system" I've purchased windows XP home addition and have it in the computer waiting for the next step but nothing happens except on the Mac side things go screwy. Every time I snapshot the virtual window it shows up black!
