[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1227681, member: 24098"] Gotcha. Even though you don't care to see scenery, the game has a 3D engine that has to initialize and send certain calls to the subsystem that communicates with the video hardware. If it can't do that, the game won't run. That would appear to be what is happening here because you're running Windows through Parallels (which adds a layer of abstraction between the hardware and the guest operating system). What you may need to do is install Windows directly on your MacBook using Boot Camp. But whether that's worth the hassle is another story. [/QUOTE]
