[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1318571, member: 24098"] Can you explain what you mean by "the graphics are not good"? Are we talking slow performance, or weird coloring, or something like that? If this truly is a performance issue, you probably just need to allocate a bit more RAM (memory) to the virtual machine. Find out what the requirements are for Corel Draw 10 and make sure that you are allocating at least that much (or more) to the guest operating system. I usually recommend at least 1GB for XP, potentially 2 if you're running a "heavy hitter" application... how much memory does your Mac have? Unfortunately, that's precisely the reason Windows XP isn't supported by your Mac... the manufacturers of the different components in your computer likely aren't producing XP drivers anymore. Apple typically just collects them for you and bundles them all together into the Boot Camp driver package. If they haven't done that, it's likely because they're not available. That's OK though, it should run fine in Parallels (I'd actually recommend VMWare, but it seems you've already gone the Parallels route), given a proper configuration. [/QUOTE]
