    I'm running Windows XP on Mountain Lion OS X.

    I wonder why the resolution in Parrallels 7.0 is so heavy pixelated when entering Full Screen mode. Before upgrading from 5.0 the resolution was perfect but now it's bad, pixelated and doesn't even fit to the monitor (iMac 20"). It looks like and old 800 x 600 monitor. Small window is perfect.

    Hopefully, somebody can help.

    Virtual Machine menu -> Configure -> Options -> Full Screen

    Are you using Mac OS X full screen mode or not? What do you have Scale to fit screen set to?

    Having trouble with full screen in 7.0.15107

    Hi all,

    I did the parallels software update 7.0.15107 and my full screen experience has gotten considerably worse.

    My old experience: I had windows at full screen resolution 1650 x 1080 on a separate monitor. I kept my mac window on my laptop screen 1440 x 900. When I detached the monitor, I would get a smaller parallels window in my laptop screen, and it would be resized but still show an "unpixelated" view, where the font was very readable, but the screen was cut short and I had to scroll around.

    My new experience: No matter what combination of "Use Mac OS X Full Screen", "Scale to fit" I use I can't replicate the situation I had before the update. The windows screen stays locked in at 1650 x 1080 unless I change it in windows.

    If anyone has any suggestions or advice ... I'd really really appreciate it. Thanks,
