    Windows 7 and "Maclook" problem

    I am running the trial of Parallels 5. I was a Parallels customer through and including PD3. Moved to Fusion as PD was far too unstable. I am totally disappointed with Fusion 3 and am running the trial of PD5 to re-test the waters. So far my experience is great. So much faster and smoother.

    One snag though. Last night I installed Office Pro 2007, Visio Pro 2007 and Project Pro 2007. When running in Coherence mode with Maclook enabled, I cannot resize windows. It's a rather annoying bug and one I can reproduce at will. I turn off Maclook and I can resize windows, I re-enable it and poof no more window resizing. Visio and Project default to full screen mode and I cannot make the buggers shrink down so I can see other programs and windows (neither OS X nor Windows). This issue seems to only affect Visio and Project, but it is still an issue for me as they are 2 of the 3 programs I use most.

    Running Windows 7 32 bit, 1GB RAM assigned to the guest. All updates installed on both the OS X side and the Win7 / Office side.

    Any suggestions / ideas?
