Hello,

Have finally been able to get the Parallels Coherence-mode working.
Really neat. Like it very much.

But with Coherence Mode on, I notice that irrespective of which icon I click on in the
normal Mac desktop to switch to Windows, it switches fine to the Windows "side," but
always to the view that has all those Tiles.

Is there a way to get to the normal Windows from this Tiles view ? If so, I haven't been able to find it.

Is it possible from the desktop with Coherence Mode enabled to switch to the "normal" (non-Tiles)
Windows view ? How ?

But, might it be I have to exit Coherence Mode and go to Full Screen to do so ?
I am so happy that I have it going, I am reluctant to do much experimenting.

Thanks,
Bob
 
I'm not 100% certain on what you're describing but "Coherence" mode shouldn't be 'switching to the Windows side'. Coherence makes your Windows apps appear in the normal Mac desktop. If it's switching the way you describe, that sounds like you have Windows running in full-screen mode. If you launch a Windows app, is it 'sliding' to a new desktop to display the Windows app ?
 
I'd say you can't be too reluctant to do experimenting... cause that is gonna be the best way to learn!
 
Experiment as much as you like but take regular Parallels Snapshots so that you can always go back to a known working configuration.
