Outlook 2013 screen redraw

When restoring Outlook 2013 from being minimized in systray, the screen often does not redraw properly. The underlying windows will show through parts of it. I have disabled hardware acceleration in Outlook and disabled add-ins, but neither has helped. Some reports online have suggested this is a graphics driver issue, but since this is Parallels, I can't try a different driver.

Anyone else?

PD 9.0.23140.935944 (latest)
Mac Mini mid-2011
Win 8.1 x64 + latest patches
Office 2013 + latest patches
256MB VRAM + DX10
Windowed VM (not coherence) + "Windows 7 Look"
 
I'm having a number of issues with Outlook 2013 - screen redraws as you note and issues running in Coherence mode ...... in coherence I'll constantly get the 'busy' indicator when the screen needs to refresh - it either takes a while or I can exit coherence to regain control of Outlook .......
