Hi all,
I recently picked up a mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13 with 8GB ram and standard Intel 4000HD graphics, runs a charm and so does Parallels 7.. mostly.
I am a bit of a gamer and I wanted to put some low end games on the windows side of my mac. I Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit - same as my main rig and it all went swell. Once I finished all the Windows updates I decided to install some games. I installed Burnout Paradise the Ultimate Box, it launched smoothly everything went well 'till I got ingame, the textures were flashing and moving around and I exited immediately. I thought it was a problem with drivers, so I downloaded the drivers for the Intel HD 4000 graphics, upon launching them it told me that my system did not meet the minimal specifications, I have allocated 200GB to Windows, 4Gb ram and most of the Vram also, I found out that this error was telling me that I did not have the Intel HD 4000 and I believe it is an issue with Parallels not identifying my graphics.
Help much appreciated
