Ok, I installed XP on my Macbook (Not Macbook Pro) using parallels, everything booted up fine. Except.. 1. When I try to boot up my games in XP, right when it changes to full screen an error message comes up saying Error with graphical driver card or somthing along those lines. On my other game it says Graphical card driver isn't updated or installed. I looked everywhere for the Graphics card driver and even tried DirectX, however none of these worked. I went to the Mac site and figured out the graphic card is an Intel GMA 950 now to find the driver.. My cousin told me to try the 945 I did, it said my system didn't reach the minimum requirements which I know is completely bull because this is really fast; 1GB memory/ram, 80GB HDD, & 2.0GHZ Intell Proccessor. So I need help finding the driver, a member on Zunescene who loves mac and knows them by heart said XP comes with 950 I asked him if thats so, where or how to install it. Heres the thread.. http://www.zunescene.com/forums/index.php?topic=13874.0 So please help me get my games to work, its the only reason I got parallels. 2. When installing my Zune software from the HDD it says .. "checking for updates, no updates found".. "close".. Wth though.. Seriously it dosnt even try installing it. So if anyone can get around that glitch please help. My main problem im concernd about is problem #1 please help. Ive looked 3 days straight for this with no luck.
If you searched this forum at all, or read maybe 3 pages, you'd see many, many posts indicating that Parallels does not support DirectX. Hence just about 0 modern games will work. If this was your primary reason for parallels then you will be disappointed.
. You're really stuck on this, aren't you. As previously determined, you have very little to no understanding of virtualisation. Read documentation to understand it. Parallels documentation would be a good place to start. And it does not matter how many different threads you start, or how many different ways you ask the same question, or how many different people answer, 3D will not work. .
well if your into gaming I would do bootcamp maybe. Parallels is great and so is VMware. Its still hard for me decide but right now Im using VMware but parallels has great support for linux well alot better than VM. You will just have to test each one out yourself and see what is better and it also depends what you exact needs are. I know that VMware has better usb 2.0 support. 3d support isnt really a needing matter for me but for some its a god send. I usually use it for visual basic 2005 but parallels does have coherence which gives the seamless effect to it.
