    Hello everyone,

    Weird problem: I am running Win7 EE in PD7 on my MacOSX Lion. The guest OS runs in Coherence mode. Microsoft Lync runs in the guest OS, in the "System Tray", which makes it display its icon in the MacOS menu bar, right near the PD icon. All fine for now.

    Trouble is any user activity on the host OS is NOT detected in the guest OS, so Lync gets to display Inactive and then Away states. As soon as I click the icon in the menu bar, or the one in the dock, or CMD-TAB to it, it gets back to active.

    Any way I can make the guest OS know I am actually working on the machine?

    Thanks,
    Cristian

    Same Issue

    I'm having the same issue as Cristian - specifically with my Lync client. Is there a method to make the guest OS aware that I am working on the host without actually clicking / opening a guest window?

    Thanks
