    Heyup,

    Using OSX 10.8 and Parallels Desktop 7.0.15106 I have a windows 7 environment running successfully in full screen on one of my three monitors (1x rMBP, 2xDell 24"). Is it possible to configure windows 7 to use the two dell monitors in fullscreen leaving only a single monitor with OSX visible?

    Regards,
    Marc

    Im surprised I did not get a quick response to this. Surely this is a desired feature?

    VM full screen either takes only one head or all available heads.

    I'd be willing to run across all heads but regardless of the options I select including 'Use All Displays in Full Screen' in the VM config I only get full screen on a single monitor.

    Having said that when I'm in full screen (all be it just on the single monitor) the option under Parallels > View > Use All Displays in Full Screen is greyed out.

    Hmm... could you generate a problem report via Parallels Help menu > Report a problem, and post report id here?

    Ok, so I just uninstalled my older version thinking it might be that. I currently have the trial installed for version 8 and have exactly the same problem. I have reported the issue and the issue id is 22075210. I would happily upgrade to 8 but I need to know that I can use full screen across all monitors.

    scratch that. I just reinstalled Parrallels Tools and everything works as expected.
