    Hi all,
    this issue might be not new to the forum but, after some search, I haven't found my answers and I thought to ask directly.
    I am running Vista via Parallels (on my MacBook Pro C2D 2.33Ghz) and, trying to install some games, I have realized that they were not working due to the graphics card. After some forum reading I came acquainted of the fact that Parallels does not support 3D acceleration and therefore no space for games at the moment. Then, I tried by installing Google Earth and NASA World Wind. The former blocks while trying to finish the Google Earth server login (something that does not happen on MacOS), while execution of the latter is prevented by a 'graphics card not initialized' error.
    Does anybosy know what's the problem and, eventually, how to solve it?

    Thanks in advance.

    both these applications require directx and 3d support, which as youve already discovered, parallels doesnt support.
