I have a problem while running parallels and leaving it unattended for a few minutes (or hours). When vista goes to sleep in while I'm working within mac programs, I can tab back to Vista in parallels, but I cannot wake it up any longer. My current solution is to force quite parallels and reboot it. That stinks since it means I lose my work in progress over there. I do a lot of switching back and forth between vista and OSX and would hate for this to be an ongoing problem. Am I doing something wrong? I've included a snapshot of what it looks like when vista is asleep. it's just a greyed out vista desktop that I cannot click on or do anything with, really. nothing i do seems to wake it up. thanks in advance, K
