Mouse unusable in many applications, SmartMouse control not avaialble

I recently went back to Parallels for increased .Net and 3D performance.

Specifically the %&*%*!!! mouse is invisible!

I will clarify. I sue a Wacom mouse for 99% of my work, but I also have a Logitech mouse plugged in. Both work great in Mac OS.

When I assign the Logitech mouse to Parallels, it works perfectly as I want.. in 3d programs I can pan and rotate smoothly instead of like a diseased skipping leper when mac os is in control of the windows mouse. However the cursor is invisible... which makes it all but totally worthless.

I tried disabling Smart Mouse under services, but the option is greyed out, I cant turn it on or off and it is stuck on automatic.

It works how it should when parallel tools is uninstalled, but then I loose my shared folders and a range of other functions I need to work.

How do I turn Smart Mouse off? (see graphic)

I am running the latest Parallels release, fully updated snow leopard, and WinXP x64 with all service packs.
