It seems that I can't enable the 3d acceleration option because the option isn't even there! I am using Parallels 4.0 for windows/linux.
I'm having the same problem. The option has entirely disappeared. Which is discouraging considering that being able to run software with 3D acceleration is the main reason why I wanted to switch over to Parallels.
I have the same problem I think it might be related to my graphics card, I've tried also with trials of parallels worstation and workstation extreme and in every case I can't enable 3d acceleration. Which graphics card were you using?
Afaik Parallels 4.0 doesn't have 3D acceleration. That got introduced in Parallels Desktop 5. If you're on 4, maybe it's time to upgrade. The current version is 7.
what about parallels workstation and workstation extreme for windows? I've tried all of them and none had 3d acceleration
I'm sorry... I was reading the wrong forum... as far as I know, Parallels for Non-Macs doesn't do 3D acceleration. Even Parallels Desktop for Mac doesn't do 3D for any OS that's not Windows, I believe.
