Hi

Early days I know...but I've got issues with the Parallels display driver and also smart mouse in the Windows 8 Release Preview made available today.

I'm not expecting a Parallels update - just hoping someone else might find a workaround to either of these issues and post them here :)

Thanks,
Mike.

Currently testing with a fresh install, no slow down since 30 mins in window (no full screen). I will post later about my further experiences.

@Crewdawg: Thx!

Sounds a bit complecated does the internet run ok in the mac ok? Has it worked with windows before?
Have you got a straight connection other than airport like a dialup or something similar just to test with windows just an idea.Does windows see airport ok, talk to apple look on the apple forum talk to parallels.
Getting internet to work is a pain at the moment lets hope an update fixes this issue!

Internet is ok on the Mac and it used to work flawlessly with the Windows XP installation that was there before. Maybe this is one of the reasons it is not working: it wasn't a clean install. And even with the new update, it is still not working. I do hope it is not an Airport issue either.

Have you tried both Shared and Bridged networking?

After the update did the new tools install ok? Have you reinstalled them?

Have you followed the steps on the knowledgebass article? http://kb.parallels.com/en/8978

Actually, I solved the problem by installing a brand new installation through Parallels auto installer. So apparently installing through my old XP disk wouldn't cut it. Thanks for all your help, guys.
