    Hi, I've been playing Halo:Combat Evolved on Windows XP using Parallels 4 on my iMac, which has been working pretty much perfectly (although there have been the odd slow patches) but suddenly the graphics have gone haywire: loads of moving objects just don't show up: guns and enemies for example are all invisible! I've fiddled around with the video settings since then and nothing seems to work. The only thing I can think of that's changed is that I've installed the latest parallels update, which i think was build 3810? Has anyone else had similar problems? Apologies if there's a similar topic up already, i didnt see it. Any help would be much appreciated, cheers.

    Did you update Parallels Tools?

    I'm having the same issue, certain graphics elements in 3d games don't show up. Also the graphics just stop running for a few seconds at a time, although the game continues, the screen becomes filled with junk or single colours.

    The game I've been using is bejeweled twist.

    Everything worked perfectly in the game before the 3810 update.

    Thanks, I will do. Is it likely that this will be an issue on the next build?

    Actually it is worked on buidl 3810, I guess somehow Tools were incorrectly installed
    I guess, if you check situation on new test VM, it will work

    Civ 4

    Ever since I upgraded to 3810, I've been getting weird flickering in Civ 4: BTS. The city information is always blank, the main menu screen flickers a lot, and often the menu appears transparent.
