How to do full screen fast switching between OS X and XP?

nhy27

Hi all,

I have installed the latest Virtue and Parallel (Build 1832 RC) but I can't do the fast switching between the 2 OS when I am in XP full screen mode like what I saw in the tips section. Nothing happens after I press ctrl+shift+left/right. I have to manually press alt+enter to quit the XP full-screen mode, and press ctrl+shift+left/right to switch to OS X. Please help. Thanks!

Cheers,

Nhy27,
I'm afraid this tip no longer works with Parallel Desktop RC 1832. Its actually one of the things that a lot of people complained about. Andrews at Parallels acknowledged the issue and I'm hopeful they will put back this capability once they go GA.

Hey nyh27!
Check out Parallels RC2! Full-screen switching is working again along with some other goodies
