    I'm a relatively new user to Parallels and MAC OSX. I've got a 20 " IMac with Winodws XP. When running XP in full screen mode my XP desktop was using the whole monitor area(which was great). I just installed the 5160 upgrade and now my XP desktop does not use the entire area any more. There's like a 2" border of unused space around my XP desktop. I tried changing the desktop to the highest resolution and got an error message saying the native operang sysem does not support the resolution. Can anyone tell what i need to do to get my XP to use the entire monitor area again?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Please:
    1. Update Parallels Tools.
    2. Open Preferences - Appearance and make sure that "Change Mac OS resolution while in fullscreen" option disabled.
