    Just installed Vista Business Upgrade and got a few questions that if anyone knows the answers to I would like to know how to make them work.

    1. While running Vista on the newest release of Parallels (not using BootCamp) is there a way to make the 3D flip feature work.

    2. I tried to increase the size of my Vista screen using the Display Settings and I cannot get it past 1024x749. Is this the max it can go?

    TIA

    it sounds like you need the latest video drivers installed. What model of computer do you have? Have you checked windows update for drivers for your video adapter?

    The Display Adapter in Window says Paralles Video Driver. The Monitor says Generic Non-PnP Monitor. Any suggestions?

    Could you check amount of video RAM configured for your VM in VM configuration window (Memory tab)?

    I ment video memory setting which is on the same tab in build 3188. Or you using 1970?

    PS: Anyway - try to add any custom resolutions you like on Video tab in configuration editor. It will be available in guest XP then.

    Yes. 16M is OK. More than enough. Please try to add you desired resolution on Video tab.

    Andrew,

    I tried 1280x800 and 1280x1024 and I still have the same problem. When I installed the Upgrade I did a clean install. TIA
