    Hi guys, here's my situation-

    At work around 6 of us are using parallels on the same macbook pros. We ALL had the same version of Parallels installed, but mine was exhibiting an odd behavior: I couldn't ALT+TAB through all mac apps & parallels.

    When I'm in the mac environment, ALT+TAB works fine, but as soon as I click on Outlook or another windows app, ALT+TAB doesn't work.


    After trying everything, I upgraded to Build 3150 RC 2. (Feb 1,2007).


    The problem persists, I still can't ALT+TAB between environments properly.


    The other issue I'm having is with coherence. I'm using coherence mode, but it's not bewhaving correctly-that is, if I have 2 or more windows apps open, they do NOT appear as unique apps to tab through while in the mac environment. Instead, I only see one PC app "Parallels".


    Anyone have ANY help on these two issues? As small as they seem, for my workflow, they're killing me.


    Thanks!

    I don't know about Alt-Tab. I'm using CMD-Tab. Make sure that the following is set for icons.

    Preferences/Appearance/Show live screen shot in Dock.

    See what difference, if any, that makes.

    Yep, I had that setting checked, no luck. Thanks though.

    Anyone else??

    try turning system prefs > univeral access > enable access for assistive devices = off - this is still a bug in 3170...
