I'm having similar problems dont know if it Parallels or Wacom though. Recently bought Parallels 8.0.18 for new mac running Mountain Lion 10.8 to run Snow Leopard with Rosetta and bought a superdrive. Installed Snow Leopard for the express purpose of keeping graphics programmes and using my trusty but old Wacom Graphics tablet. Which runs without problems in OS 10.4.11 on a PPC G5 and on Snow Leopard on a mac mini - and once I found the correct drivers it runs in windows 7 in Parallels as well . So no mouse or pointer problems with or without the tablet plugged in on all 3 set ups, It might be a Wacom driver problem if it were not for the fact that using the "magic mouse" as an alternative input device.... results in problem in photoshop in Snow Leopard only.
My main problem is that in Snow Leopard on Parallels the second the tablet is plugged in the mouse pointer vanishes without a trace from the desktop and every other window including the desktop, except for the main drawing window in CS2 - puts harry potter's cloak of invisibility to shame. The mouse is active the pointer is moving but can't I see where the little bugger is unless I right click or it crosses a button or menu on the desktop or in photoshop. If I unplug the tablet and elect to use the mouse instead of the pen I get the pointer back but cannot draw in the main drawing window of CS2, the paint brush refuses to track mouse movements and is not recognized by some tools .
I have reinstalled tools tried several drivers, no luck
Parallels is a fantastic programe Photoshop works fine in windows just a pity about the inferior support for Snow Leopard and the invisible mouse pointer problem. Any ideas anyone.
