    Hi,

    I'm wondering if it isn't possible to run higher resolutions than 800*600. I configured higher resolutions for the VM but they are completely ignored. I also increased memory and video memory for the vm - no effect.

    Hardware:
    iMac
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    2.4 GHz
    4 GB

    trying to run a Windows XP on that.

    Would appreciate any help

    Thanks

    just drag the corner of the Mac OS window containing parallels to the size you want

    simple but beautiful programming by "the man"

    That doesn't work. The Mac OS window gets larger but the XP inside doesn't scale. It's now surrounded by a black frame.

    Did you set the screen resolution in the Parallels preferences, XP display preferences or both?
