    After updating Mac to 10.6.3, I now get random screen flashes and jumbled pixels. Sometimes the entire Win7 display is entirely re-arranged blocks of pixels.

    I de/re-installed Parallels, tried my vm and the issues remain. I created a fresh install of Win7 and the issue remains.

    I attached a couple screen shots.

    MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz
    4gb SDRAM

    Parallels 5 build 5.0.93445

    Additional info Mac 10.6.3 updated and Win 7 display jumble

    This seems to happen after waking MacBook from sleep. The pixel patterns move and change as I move the cursor. Parallels view is usually set at 'Window.'

    I can clear pixel jumble by refreshing the window with F5 key.

    Also,
    My first Win7 Pro vm was imported VMware using Parallels Transport-the problem did not exist using VMware.
    The current vm is fresh Win7 install from DVD.
    I am not running Boot Camp.
    Parallels Tools v6.5

    Win7 settings
    Monitor -Generic Non-PNP -driver Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385
    Display -Parallels Display Adapter WDDM -driver 5.0.9344.0

    I have the same problem sometimes. But it seems only to happen when I use MS Office. The thing can get even worse in that the OSX menu gets scrambled as well... for me it's always a sign to save my work and prepare for a machine lock-up.
