[QUOTE="rippingviper, post: 1158923, member: 101883"] Yes it should install the video driver from bootcamp, Your screen should have flickered. If you go to hardware properties if it has a triangle with a ! on it then it has not installed video drivers. From the get go it should work at 1400x900. You should also check your settings on your game as it should be able to run at the optimal resolution as well. Also you really shouldn't play games through VM ware as it taxes your system way to much and will result in poor performance. I recommend installing steam booted up in windows 7 and installing your game. Also steam usually allows you to set your video settings for the games. I have also found that booting off of a boot camp partition really screws with programs if you use it virtually then boot normally into it. I also recommend only using image files for Virtual boot ups and not the boot camp partition. Just my opinion as it screws with too many settings as it uses different drivers in VM ware than when booted natively... As s2odin stated. nvidia.com will have updated drivers under support/ drivers.
