[QUOTE="ADKhikerVW, post: 718117, member: 36483"] The reason this is happening is because Parallels does not support many games. The last time I checked, it did not support 3D accelerated graphics at all. For gaming you will need to install Windows on it's own partition on your hard drive and actually reboot in Windows. You will need to install drivers for your Mac hardware, and then you will be able to play your games natively. Since you have 10.4, I don't think you can use the Boot Camp assistant to install Windows. You will need to upgrade to Leopard or perform the partitioning and installation yourself. I am not sure where you can find drivers other than on a Leopard installation DVD. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
