In Windows 7 my mouse gets trapped in the VM window, requiring ctrl+alt to release it every time. My XP VM does not behave like this, the mouse moving seamlessly between the VM window and the OSX desktop. I have tried re-installing Parallels Tools, but without solving it. Any suggestions? Thanks Mike
Hello, Mike, please, go to Control panel -> Administrative tools -> Computer management -> Device manager, select Mice and other pointing devices, right-click -> Properties -> Driver and let us know what do you have there
Thanks for quick reply! The window is called "Microsoft PS/2 Mouse Properties" Driver provider: Microsoft Driver date: 21/06/2006 Driver version: 6.1.7000.0 Digital signer: Microsoft Windows Under Driver File details button is has: Driver files: C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\i8042prt.sys C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\mousclass.sys and File Version: 6.1.7000.0 (winmain_win7beta.081212-14000) I tried updating driver, but it said it had latest. BTW I am using a Logitech MX mouse with Steermouse software in OSX, but have also tried pugging in a wired apple mightymouse which behaves the same. Hope this helps.
Problem Solved I uninstalled Parallels tools then reinstalled them, and all was well. Previously I had simply run the Parallels tools installer again, without uninstalling first. Mike
