    what's with this moving / resizing open apps???

    Steps to produce:

    1) open couple of apps, ie; safari, mail, and etc

    2) make parallels full screen

    3) make parallels back to window mode

    4) that's all. safari, mail and any other apps have moved / resized! what gives....

    Hello,

    Please open Parallels, go to Preferences, Appearance menu and
    uncheck "Change MacOSX resolution",

    Best regards,
    John

    This didn't solve the window moving / resizing problem.

    I can create a window (FileMaker, for example) in the XP full screen. Then I can revert to the MacOSX mode. Then when I call for full screen using Shift+Alt the window is scrunched small and in the upper left corner. In MacOSX I like to keep the Parallels window off to the lower right corner.

    MacBook Pro, Mac OS X ver 10.4.10
    Parallels V3.0, Build 4560
    VM = Windows XP Home Edition, SP2

    I have reloaded parallels tools with no good result. The shortcut icons won't stay in their custom places either. This is a showstopper!

    I just use 2 screens

    MacBook Pro 17 inch and an old VGA display

    Us old mac users started using two screens more than 12 years ago
    Nine inch black and white and a 256 color 17 inch VGA was brilliant

    serious graphic artists use three ot four screesn for a static Mac

    I have a 22 inch Mac screen at home
    just wonderful

    my daughter uses a Sony TV to play videos from a basic MacBook

    NAn LG hi-res 22 inch TV also looks interestingly cheap

    Thanks, I may do that in the office, but I spend most of my time away from such it and I need the portability that worked pretty well in the earlier version of Parallels.
