    I am really getting tired of having to disable ALL my OSX power saver options every time I enter Parallels.

    Can't Para have an option to send a keep-alive signal to OSX when in full-screen mode? Heck even VLC running in a window can do this properly when playing videos in OSX.

    Hi there,

    To run Windows Virtual Machine active in Full screen mode in OS X, Please follow the steps given :

    1. Start Parallels Desktop. Do not start your Virtual Machine or shut it down if it is running.

    2. Go to your Virtual Machine's Configuration (http://kb.parallels.com/117287) > Click on Options.

    3. Select FUll screen and check "Use Mac OS X Full screen" & "Use all displays in Full screen".

    Thanks,

    Manoj D
