So, I've Vista virtualised through Parallels, yet it doesn't recognise the video card. I'm running a Macbook Pro btw. I can't even run Windows Movie Maker without him giving an error of to fe video memmory. Any advise?

Did you install Parallels Tools after you completed installing Windows?

Give that a try and see if it's any better, but do note that video card support (particularly with 3D acceleration) is extremely limited in all of the virtualization products out there.

Alright, I just did. It still has no effect. I'm aware of that, but surely it should be able to run at least windows movie maker?

I would think so, but I've never used Windows Movie Maker before - particularly since every Mac comes with iMovie.
