Now that I recoved your very nicely done manual from the second download and install of your Parallels software and started leafing through it in Adobe, I did get the video changes AFTER I installed Parallels Tools and the SVGA driver started working. I really did not know what I was installing at the time but that I was supposed to do it.
I am working on two systems with MacBooks here and on the other, I encountered a problem and tried to find out how to uninstall the tools and couldn't so I reinstalled over what was there. I trashed that installation because my daughter had installed Parallels for Workstation, so I removed that software and installed Parallels for Desktop on both machines. Now both are the same.
The installation of tools put the windows SVGA driver and it's color of teal for the desktop and etc but when I shutdown, it changed the colors to the VGA blue of the windows yet left the SVGA screen running. I reset the colors and they have stayed.
Only in your manual running in Adobe Reader did I find the sound driver installation and that went as published. Your instructions are very detailed. Much thanks for the work that went into your manual.
Now if I go to help from the VM screen, I get help alright but running in my browser and the information in it does not seem to be as inclusive as the manual that I saved from the installation package folder, the one I trashed the first time when I cleaned up my desktop after the Parallels software installation.
The next issue is that I use Mozilla's Thunderbird for my EMail on the Mac and your program tries to send out emails only with the Apple email program not the default email progran and of course I do not have it setup to send anything. I will now set up the Apple email software to run but you will receive several emails when I do. I was using the installation habits of, when everything else fails read the manual because I had trashed it when I cleaned up my desktop after the install, so I am not sure that those error that I encountered were valuable to you but here they come anyway!
My question still remains about screen size in the normal and full screen modes. I will continue through your manual and if it is in there, I will find it.
You ask for screen shots and I don't know how to do that yet on the Mac with the MacBook keyboard.
Thank you in advance for your help.
