    Hello,

    Okay, so I had Parallels in Coherence mode and I hit Cmd-H. Well, it didn't do anything immediately, but eventually it did "Hide" Parallels. (I have my computer set up so that when an application is hidden it's greyed out in my Dock. Parallels is greyed out, so I know that it's hidden.) Now, it won't bring it back. I've tried using Opt-Tab and clicking on the icon in the Dock to switch to it, but the result is that the menu bar doesn't change, though neither is it usable. That is to say, the menu bar from whatever application I was in before I switched is still shown, but clicking on it doesn't do anything.

    I've tried right clicking the Dock icon and selecting "Show". I've tried right clicking the Dock icon and switching to "Single Window" mode. I've tried right clicking the Dock icon and selecting "Quit". In each case, nothing happened, except when I selected "Quit", now the "View", "Applications", etc. menus under the right click on the Dock icon are all greyed out.

    So, is there any hope? Or should I just force-quit and let Windows do a disk scan when I restart?

    Thanks!

    P.S. This is with P3.

    Got tired of trying to get it to respond to something. I force-quit and relaunched...

    What build do you have? What Windows version -- is it Vista? It seems Parallels Desktop totally hung up, so try force-quit it. It's unrecommended but not so dangerous actually.
