    Swedish furniture manufacturer IKEA has an amazing planing-system for PC, names "IKEA home planner".
    Link: http://www.ikea.com/ms/de_DE/IKEA_HOMEPLANNER/IKEA_HomePlaner_1.9.9.2.exe

    Due to specifications on the IKEA-website it is compatible to Windows XP Pro. The program starts smoothly, but unfortunately it crashes at the most important point: The 3d-view. Tried to increase the Windows memory to 1024 MB, same effect. Tested the program on a friend's PC, and it worked smoothly under WXP.

    Do you have any clue how to fix this, is there any workaround for me? Or do I have to run it on a real PC. The IKEA-site tells, that the program Windows DirectX, which I have installed. Is it possible, that my crashes have to do with that?

    Thanks for any tipp

    Take a look in requirements, that DirectX is not more than 8.1 , in Parallels Desktop version 3 this version is supported
