    Hi, I am running into a situation where I am unable to minimize the main window when I suspend Windows XP - the main window is minimized when I quit or exit Windows XP - to clarify, the mnimized window is the window that is small and where I can see the tool bar on the right side and other icons on the botton. The problem is when I suspend Windows XP, I am back in the Mac OS X environment but the Parallels window is the size of the Windows resolution (large) with no option to minimize the window to a smaller size - how do I get the window to minize without having to shut down Windows XP? Looks like a bug which needs to be squashed by Parallels.

    Minimising main window

    Here's a copy of a note I put on the other thread.

    This has happened to me once or twice. What I did to resolve it is to set up a custom resolution of 800x600 for the Video resource in the Parallels Configuration Editor for the VM. Then, when WinXP was launched, I set the display setting to that and it seemed to shrink the window.

    Switching to full screen and back again works fine now.

    Hope this helps.

    Hokey smokes, that seems to work!

    Took me a couple of tries to figure out what you meant, but now it works. Thanks! I hope this fixes the problem for good!
