    Hi there
    I am running parallels desktop 4 (with the latest updates..) on my macbook pro 13 inch. My mac has
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M. Windows xp pro shows parallels video adapter under Display Adapters in Device manager.
    When I run movies using VLC player they flickr. They don't flickr when I run them using VLC in mac osx 10.5.
    So I am thinking I need to update my graphics drivers for windows xp pro.
    I have reinstalled parallels tools as well but that didn't make any difference.
    Nvidia site that my manufacturer will provide me the drivers (in this case i think it should parallels)..
    Please help.

    The nvidia drivers won't help because your VM sees the Parallels video adaptor, not the Mac's "real" video hardware.
