    I'm currently running Parallels 4.0 Desktop and I finally got an old game I loved to play running properly (Phantasy Star Online BB), however, the weird thing with this game is if you ALT+Tab in game, it automatically closes. While the simple solution would be never to use those keys in game, I noticed whenever I click anywhere else outside the virtual machine, it seems to cause the game to close. (From what I deduce, they VM is causing an ALT+Tab to happen).

    Is there any way to stop this from happening? (Because I'm SOOOOOOO happy I finally have a VM that properly plays this game smoothly and works 100%)

    Clicking outside the virtual machine widow switches the focus to the Mac side, that might be causing the game to close, the Alt-tab issue might specifical to the game itself.
    In any case, could you please clarify if you have tried running the virtual machine in Full screen mode? That will remove the problem with missclicking at least.
