Mouse in beta 5

profetes · Apr 27, 2006

Hi,
I am using parallels beta 5 with XP on my iMac 17" in full screen at mac resolution. I've noticed the the pointer of the mouse is not as smooth and precise as it was with beta4. Any help, clarification on this?
Thanks,

Did you install the new parallels tools?

1. Boot guest OS inside VM.
2. Click on menu VM->Install Parallels Tools.

I found the same thing in fullscreen mode even with the tools installed.

No, thanks

No, there are new tools with beta 5? I should read everything always before talking

thanks!

You do have to reinstall the tools with beta 5. However in full screen mode I found while doing things like loading a web page in IE the mouse got jumpy again.

I reinstalled the tools and now it seems to work fine the mouse. Thanks.

This bug appeares sometimes. It is known but had a low priority for now. It will surely be fixed before the release version.
