    Hi all,

    New user of Parallels. I am trying to install some Microchip applications (MPLAB X and a compiler) however, the installation screens are scaled very small, to the point where there are some selectable radio boxes that cannot be seen nor selected during install. They are hidden from view. This is preventing me from installing the software. I have installed other windows software and if I didn't know better, I would have thought I was in a windows environment. I assume this is on Microchips end, in that there software has some sort of scaling issue, but I wanted to post here to see if others have seen this problem before (with Microchip's or other vendor's software) and if so, if there was some soft of workaround.

    I tried that, but it was still scaled very small. Even after messing about with decreasing resolution (1024x768), i still had the same issue. Not sure what is going on..
