    I installed 3094 last night, an upgrade from beta 1.

    I suspected I would run into some trouble because my Boot Camp was Fat32, and I read I needed to deinstall the tools from before. I booted up Boot Camp and deinstalled those tools, everything was fine and dandy, then I wondered if I should deinstall my Kensington Mouseworks software. I should have listened to my better judgement.

    When Parallels tried to run from my Boot Camp I 'lost' my cursor. I have a special program where if I shake the cursor very fast, twinkle stars fall on my desktop. So I shook my cursor, and I saw the twinkle stars fall, so I now knew that my cursor wasn't lost, it was just invisible, but not only invisible, it did not accept any clicks.

    Using the keyboard commands, I shut down Windows and the Mac and booted back into Boot Camp to deinstall Kensington Mouseworks software - but there was no sign of it.

    I concluded that Parallels must have seen it and wiped it out by itself.

    Question: is that true? Does Parallels clean out any other third party mouse drivers?

    The next time I ran Parallels, everything was fine. However, cohesion does not work in the Boot Camp partition.

    Question 2: Does the Boot Camp partition work in the cohesion mode in 3094? Are there any tools to install for it?

    I have to enter my admin passcode to use the Boot Camp partition before AND after using it. That is not nice. I will stick with the disk image until these things are fixed.
