    Why does a game like "Crazy Machines" not run under Windows XP in Parallels? It's quite a "simple" game concerning the hardware (128MB Graphic Card, DirctX 9 or higher, 2.0 GHz CPU) ...

    There is one thing you should understand. In Parallels all things except the CPU is emulated, including the graphics card, which means your game does not see the computer as it is when running Windows XP natively. It is no surprise the game does not run. If you want to run games please use Boot Camp.

    It may be a long time before such graphics intensive software can run in a virtualized environment like VMware or Parallels, if at all.
