[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 836329, member: 48298"] Check the memory settings you have running in Parallels. In both Parallels and Fusion you can change the amount of RAM you allocate to your virtual machine - you don't likely need to allocate more than 1 GB to your VM. I don't know the exact menu commands in Parallels (I use Fusion) - but in Fusion, you exit/shut down the virtual machine, go to settings and change the RAM allocation. Then restart your VM. Neither Parallels nor Fusion requires much RAM to run XP. However, your problem may not be the RAM - it may be the fact that virtual machines do not access the full hardware capabilities of your graphics card - they use a "virtual" graphics adapter. That may be what is causing your situation. But first try reallocating the RAM. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
