    Hey all. First post.

    I signed up for and downloaded the GameTap software but it won't run in XP in Parallels due to a video card issue. Can anyone advise a way around this? Perhaps I haven't downloaded something.

    Thanks!

    Parallels doesn't do hardware 3D yet, so you'll want BootCamp for gaming stuff, and Parallels for pretty much everything else =)

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but with the 3.0 release, has anyone been able to get Gametap to work?

    Nope, not me. I think it’s a DirectDraw issue… dxdiag’s Direct3D test works, but not DirectDraw.

    What’s that have to do with whether Parallels can run it at all?
