    I installed the latest build and the custom screen resolutions I'd been using under build 1970 are now scrambled under eComstation 1.1 (OS/2).

    I was using a resolution of 1112x800 with SciTech's SNAP driver as mentioned here

    The MacBook's native 1280x800 works OK, but one of the programs I'm running doesn't like that resolution. If I set it to 1024x768 then I get a scaled picture with fuzzy text.

    to size a Parallels Window
    right click on the windows desk top and set the properties to the closest
    say 1280 x 800
    save

    then in Mac OS makea fine adjustment by dragging the bottom right hand corner in the usual way

    I just ended at 1199 x 812 0n the first try
    then 1240 x 808
    whichI can see by checking back under right click WinXp desktop properties

    I'm using eComstation (a version of OS/2), not XP.

    using eComstation (a version of OS/2)

    do write a good subject line to get noticed

    sorry I never used that only Mac OS from 5 or 6

    then Win 98 and Win 2000

    I avoid legacy software except on legacy machines
    although MS is giving a freebie VM download in Vista
