    The Problem: when you resize the OS window, or switch to fullscreen or coherence modes, the mouse stops responding and floats down the screen diagonally to the right.

    I only had this problem after upgrading to build 3120, but once I had it, no amount of re-installing would fix it.

    Solution: Windows seems to be having a driver conflict with either the Parallels Display Driver, Mouse Synch. Driver, or both--I think it is trying to used old cached versions from the prevoius betas.

    Here is a workaround that solved the issue for me. I tried just addressing the video driver, but to get it to work, I had to go through this ass-backward process to get the mouse and video both playing nice again:

    I would list it here but I wasn't sure if I could post images in the forum.

    Hope this helps everyone else with the same issue. Parallels Team, I think you can fix this for the release by making windows purge all the old cached drivers or something.
