sql-server-2012

I'm running a Windows 8 VM on a MacBook using Parallels Desktop 9. On this Windows VM, I have a SQL Server instance running perfectly.

However, when I launch SQL Server Configuration Manager, and I want to enable an IP configuration, the Enable menu options are invisible :

Here is a screenshot : http://i.imgur.com/PY7qGup.png (I don't have enough reputation to display the image inline)

When I click the arrow, a contextual menu should appear with 2 choices "Yes" or "No". Instead, a tiny contextual menu appears, but it's empty.

I tried using my keyboard tab/space/arrows keys without success.

Has anyone faced/solved the same problem ?
