Mouse Cursor Drag & Drop Systemic Tools Problem

Can't drag files from XP to Mac in 3.0

I upgraded from Parallels 2.5 to 3.0 and opened an XP SP2 machine. It updated the disk format and Parallels Tools and everything seems to be working, except that I can't drag files from the XP desktop to the Mac desktop. What's odd is that it works the other way; I can drag files from my Mac to the XP desktop, just not vice versa. When I try dragging from XP to Mac I simply can't move the cursor out of the XP window until I release the file I'm trying to drag. Any idea what's going on? Needless to say this worked seamlessly in both directions in 2.5.

I did both Direct Draw and Direct 3D tests.

Well not really. I was unable to test 3D as the option was greyed out.

The tests in DD worked but were exceptionally sluggish and when it did the full screen white box it revered to a 480 sized window... again it was slow, sluggish and paused several times during the test.

What does this tell you?

Also... I note that on the BLUE Screen for log in, I can drag the mouse back and forth for several seconds... until the desktop appears, then it is LOCKED to the VM and unable to return to OSX without the manual release control+ alt.

I have my dxdiag open and there are dozens of tabs available if any of them matter for this problem.

I built a new VM from scratch and still have had problems with mouse synchronization. It seems apparently linked to the video--every time change the resolution, the mouse stops being synchronized. I WISH someone from Parallels would say SOMETHING about all these problems we've been reading about. This silence is VERY AGGREVATING.

I had one other problem when they first came out with Transporter... I emailed 6 different staff / admin people directly who post on this board.

NOT A DAMN ONE OF THEM REPLIED OR POSTED.

Finally a user who struggled to fix it himself walked me throught it...

But I do NOT expect these CRIMINALS to actually support this product with a serious reply so I intend to SQUEEK very loudly until they do.

In fact I am not to far from making a PARALLELSBLOWS.COM website if they do NOT address this HORRID customer service problem.

You could NOT find the time to address these conserns ???

WTF !!! ???
