    hey guys, I installed parallels 7 on macbook retina but I'm having trouble using my bootcamp windows 7 in parallels. a few questions:

    on my Windows 7 parallels, the text/icons/windows look extremely big. On bootcamp windows I usually have it set to retina's resolution 2880 x 1800 and 250 dpi for text. But in parallels, everything looks far bigger. Is there anyway to adjust screen size and dpi in parallels windows 7 WITHOUT messing with the settings in bootcamp ?

    Is there a way to stream my mouse pointer between the parallels windows and mac os x ? Right now I'm always hitting command + tab to go from parallels window to mac os x

    I try playing a lot of games in Parallels windows..but they won't work, they won't open. Are there specific games that can be played in Parallels windows ?

    Ok I tried that... but the same resolution carried over to my bootcamp partition when I startup in windows. Is there anyway so that the resolution change doesn't carry over when I use bootcamp ?

    no i'm afraid. You are using the same Windows installation - if you make any changes it is always saved everywhere.
    But we are working on the permanent fix
