Hi everyone,
I bought Parallels so I could use two small Windows-only applications on my Mac. I installed Parallels and Windows 8 without issue. However, I would like Windows to run unobtrusively in the background. I don't want to see it, or interact with it. I thought this was what Coherence mode is supposed to do, except Coherence mode always favours the Windows Machine, maximising the window and cutting off control to the Mac. How can I fix this, if indeed I can?
Secondly, I used to use an old version of Parallels and Windows a year or so ago, I use to have it Window in Window and drag the Windows apps from the Mac desktop to the Windows desktop to install. At the moment, dragging and dropping doesn't work. I don't seem to be able to install the Windows apps at all - any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you,
Ry
