Couple of Parallels Question....

[DarthSimon]

Ok, I have 3 questions..

I just installeded Parallels on my new MacBook... It's a 2.0ghz CD, 2 Gigs Ram...

1: When running XP in a Window mode, how do I get to the bottom right corner of the window to resize the window. The XP Window is below the Bottom row mac Icons....

2: When in Full Screen Mode, how do I resize to fit Wide Screen Aspect Ratio.

3: HOw do I right click within Windows??

Thx in advance guys..

1.you need to resize windows resolution within windows not a live resize like a normal app, unless you have the new beta downloaded.

2.again this needs to be done in windows, display settings

3. right click a mouse button selected as a right click within osx

Ok, Got it...
A right click is done by hitting the Apple Key next to the space bar correct?

Next issue, a USb Thumb Stick Drive? I plugged one in, should Windows see it??

Have you installed Parallels Tools? Once that is installed, most problems go away by themselves...

 

[DarthSimon]

Doing so right now...

Installed, Windows still won't see a USB Stick Drive...

USB support is almost non-existant in the current version. You'd have better luck setting a Parallels share up to the drive. Its better in the beta and it'll probably work come next official update.

There is a USB menu under actions or something, you can try and place with that.
