    Hi there,

    This is my 1st post in this forum. I have recently downloaded the parallels 3.0 and installed Windows XP. It is working great. I am really impressed with Parallels. I am noticing some odd behavior and I was hoping someone could give me a hand. When working in Windows XP OS I am noticing the display becomes unreadable on occasion. Looks like a square portions of the screen where the display is not readable.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I have to close down and restart Parallels to clear it up where it begins to work again.

    Is there a setting I need to set in Parallels? I am new to this program and maybe I do not have all the settings properly.

    Thanks and I look forward to your replies.

    what machine and OS are you using?

    PD creates visual noise when it relases the video card on a VM shut down

    but moving the affected window on the MacOS causing a reload clears it up

    Build # 5160

    Still happening.

    I read through some other posts on the forum and they suggested going back to build 5160. So I have tried this. However, should I just continue using this build even if new updates come out?

    Bump. Can someone answer this for me. I am debating whether or not to buy Parallels or VMWare Fusion and an answer to this would help.
