    I installed PD7 (free trial version) using the option to integrate with My Mac, ..not to create and show a MS Window's Desktop. PD7 installed perfectly, and I found a Parallels tiny icon in the top right of my Mac. i right-click it and select [Start menu]. This is exactly what I wanted!!! However...

    Windows told me to install and upgrade. And I did. Now I get no tiny icon to view the [Start menu]???

    So I used my Mac launch pad, and found Parallels. But when I open/run it, I now get a MS Window's Desktop.

    I'm hoping there is some hidden, cryptic trick or something (I have looked everywhere) that will tell PD7 to integrate with my Mac, and not give me a big ugly desktop.

    Thanks to all
    :)

    The term "Coherence" is what the folks at Parallels use to describe "MS Windos applications working within Mac OS".

    If you have a Windows desktop open, then look in botom right corner for options to "Enter Coherence"

    Yipiee!!!
