Hi everyone. I'm really digging Parallels so far but there are a few things that are really bugging us all in the office. Maybe we're just looking in the wrong place to fix these things... 1) The first issue is that we're having really poor window-dragging performance when using Coherence mode. The guest OS windows (Win XP) jump around like crazy when we try to drag anything but the smallest windows around. We're all on brand new 8-core Mac Pros with 16GB RAM and we all have two ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB cards installed. So these machines are all blazing fast but look really cheesy when dragging guest OS windows around. We tried different video settings in Parallels and tried various hardware acceleration settings in Windows Display Control Panels to no avail. Any way to make window dragging in Coherence mode buttery smooth? 2) We're having a hard time getting used to Parallels in our multi-monitor environment (we all have either two or three displays) due to unusual behavior. For example: - In Coherence mode the Windows Start Bar goes across every monitor -- a big waste of space. How can you tell it which and only monitor gets the Start bar? - When using multiple displays in Coherence mode it appears that Windows thinks there is one giant display. This is bad for a number of reasons. In our case, all Windows alerts and dialog boxes appear half on one screen and half on another. Most of us also have two different sized displays -- for example, a 24" widescreen main display (1920 x 1200) and then a 20" widescreen secondary display (1680 x 1050). But Coherence thinks the display is 3600 x 1200. So there's a block hole at either the top or bottom of the smaller display where windows sometimes spawn and the title bar in in that black hole and can't be dragged without some creative resizing first. You also can't position the Windows Start Bar vertically on the edge of the smaller monitor because either the top or the bottom of the Windows Start bar winds up in the black hole and is useless. So... any way to tell Coherence to recognize the fact that there are multiple displays and that they are different sizes? Thanks, everyone.
