    These two things used to work fine for me under Parallels, so I'm not sure why they are not working now:

    1) I can copy things in OS X and then paste them into XP in the Parallels session... but I cannot copy things from XP and paste them into OS X. I used to be able to do this. When I go into the Parallels tools in XP's taskbar, the clipboard sharing is Enabled, but it won't let me clear it.
    I have tried restarting both the XP/Parallels session, and OS X itself, and it still does this.

    2) When I am in XP in Parallels, full screen or not, and I am using RDC into a remote machine, if I accidentally take it out of fullscreen, I cannot get it back to full screen. I am on a 24" monitor, so just pressing the fullscreen button on RDC is not enough.
    Normally the solution in XP is to do Ctrl-Alt-Break and that then puts it into full screen - and this used to work.
    But now it does not - and it is extremely frustrating since it requires a lot of scrolling in the remote session in this state.


    The only change I can think of between now and when this last worked was a recent update in OS X for a Java upgrade, but I haven't done two other recent updates (a security one, and the daylight savings time one - they both require a restart and I have too much going on for restarts right now).

    Any ideas?
