    Q: I have upgraded to build 3094 and can't switch to Coherence mode. Is there any way to fix that?
    A: Try these steps:
    * Make sure latest Parallels Tools are installed. The easiest way is to reboot Windows and make sure you don't see a message offering to upgrade Parallels Tools.
    * Open Start->Run menu and issue the sc delete "parallels cohrence service" command.
    * Reboot Windows.
    * Open Start->Run menu, type cmd and press Enter. In the console opened issue the "C:\Program Files\Parallels\Parallels Tools\cohrence" install command
    * Coherence should work again.

    Q: Is there any way to prevent Windows applications from appearing in Mac Dock?
    A: Absolutely. Browse to Parallels Desktop menu and open Preferences. Switch to Appearance tab and unselect the "Show applications in Dock" checkbox.

    Q: Shared Networking doesn't work for me after upgrade. How do I fix that?
    A: Reboot your Mac. If it doesn't fix the problem, go to System Preferences -> Network. You will be prompted to configure new Network Interfaces. Agree to configuring, close System Preferences and start Parallels Desktop again. All should work fine.

    Q: Windows Vista RTM won't boot after upgrade. Is there any workaround or should I reinstall everything?
    A: Try disabling VT-x for Vista VM. To do that, power off the Virtual Machine, browse to Edit->Virtual Machine... menu, select "Options" in the left tab, select "Advanced" group in the right one and deselect the "Enable Intel VT-x support" option.
    We're working on the complete fix of the problem.

    The post will keep filling in...
