    When using a wireless pad with Parallels, the cursor will not connect to the pen. I can move the pen in the direction of the tool bar and the buttons will highlight when I get over them, but the cursor remains stationary on the screen. I can select the writing tool and write, but I don't know where the writing will appear until I make a mark since the cursor isn't linked to the pen. I have tried both the InterWrite Pad (Bluetooth) and the QOMO tablet (radio frequency) and they both do the same thing. They both work fine on a Windows computer. Any suggestions?

    Try to install that software in Windows, also you need to connect Bluetooth to Windows OS, more details how to connect bluetooth to Windows
    1. Insert the original Leopard DVD into the DVD drive of the Mac. Connect the disk to the virtual machine by choosing the "Default CD/DVD" drive under the "Devices - DVD rom" menu.


    2. Hold down the Shift key in order to disable the autorun option and stop the Boot Camp drivers automatic installation. If the Boot Camp window appears, click on the "Cancel" button to cancel the installation.

    3. Open My Computer, right click on the Boot Camp DVD disk, choose the "Open" option, browse to the "Drivers-Apple" folder. Double click on the BluetoothInstaller EXE file and let it install.

    5. Go into the folder with Apple drivers again and double click on the BluetoothEnabler driver EXE file and let it install.

    6. Now go to the Parallels menu and check the selection for "Apple - Wireless" which is for the Bluetooth (you will previously have to make the Bluetooth device get synced to your Mac under Bluetooth -> System Preferences). Once you select Apple Wireless under the USB choices, you will see your Virtual Machine connecting to a Bluetooth device - it will take a few minutes.

    On this step when you click "Apple - Wireless" under the USB section you can lose the connection to Apple Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, if you are using them. In this case you will have to use the actual Mac touchpad and keyboard. Later when you uncheck "Apple - Wireless" from the USB (Parallels), you will get the Bluetooth mouse/keyboard back.
