    Hi,

    I have a MacBookPro which is just under a year old running Leopard OS. I've installed Parrallels Desktop 4.0 and then Windows Vista OS.

    When I come to play video in Vista, I either just get sound only or the application just closes down. Have I not set something up right?

    What am I doing wrong, any help would be appreciated?

    Try to increase video memory to 200 mb, and also try ollowing
    1. Minimize hardware acceleration level in display properties.

    Right click on Desktop -> Personalize -> Display Settings -> Advanced
    Settings -> Trobleshoot tab. Put hardware acceleration level to zero.

    2. Set Color in Display Settings to 24 bit making hardware acceleration
    set to maximum.
