Hello Hank, Just so you know, in my opinion, utilities such as Fusion and Parallels are still in the Black Art area of technology so don't let it get to you, OK?
Perhaps I should be ashamed to admit it but, since purchasing my Mac, I have spent more time trying to get Fusion, Hand Break, and such working than learning the Mac, itself. I have finally made some headway but it has taken a lot of time. Enough of my wining. (Smile) During the setup of a new virtual machine, you will be asked as to what level of transparency you wish to isolate the virtual machine. I believe there are only two options, 1 being more transparent to the Mac than the other. If, for some reason you chose the more isolating option, you can manually change settings in the Settings Menu of the Virtual machine when focused is on the Mac; however, I find that there seems to be some minor tweaks that do not get changed when using the manual option. I'm afraid I cannot be more specific than this.
