    Hey all— Not sure what I’ve done, but I’m running Windows XP SP3 in Parallels 6.0.11994 from a boot camp partition. I manually updated the video drivers to the nVidia GeForce GT 300M version 266.58. Now, I can’t switch into Coherence at all, and there are two “ghost†monitors (disabled) in my monitors control panel. I’ve tried to get rid of them in Device Manager, but they keep popping back up regardless of what I do. I’ve deleted the VM and created a new one from the boot camp partition, but that doesn’t help either. Can anyone suggest a solution? I’m at the end of my rope, as I can only really run the VM in full screen to be usable now.

    PS: On mid-year 2010 MBP 15†i7, with 8GB of Ram. VM is set to 2GB of RAM and 256MB video memory.
