    Help! :)

    Going a little crazy here. Cannot enable mouse in guest Solaris 10 OS on host XP system. If I do Ctrl/Alt I get back control of disappearing pointer but can only use to move the console view around the desktop. Have touchpad too and that does not work.

    Below is the response from Parallels Support. I have to believe a mouse will work with Solaris. I am on 2.1 and from all the scary posts I really do not want to go to 2.2 to solve this.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks,

    :)

    Note from Support:

    Unfortunately, current version of Parallels lacks support for some USB
    devices, including USB to serial adapters. There is updated version
    coming soon that should fix most of USB issues, just keep an eye on our
    site to be informed on it's release.
