    So I have the legendary error trying to play a private server of a game called maplestory which is from nexon, and I keep getting "this application cannot be run under a virtual machine" error. I tried the registry fix where you go to regedit and delete the contents of videobiosversion but im still getting the error and there seems to be no other way:( Do any of you have any suggestions?

    Hi,
    This error seems to be mostly affecting those who are using Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 in VM environment.
    You may also try to increase the number of resources allocated to your Windows virtual machine - this includes CPU, amount of RAM etc seems to have helped some to get around this problem. You can achieve this by right-clicking on the Parallels Desktop icon in your Dock, then click on 'Control Center.' Now right-click on your virtual machine and click on 'Configure,' then click on the 'Hardware' tab, select 'CPU & Memory' from the left hand side and make the changes accordingly. Be warned, don't take the virtual machine to the limit, as it can slow down your Mac to the point where it can become almost unusable.

    Hi, I tried this and I put my ram to 3GB and video memory to 418 MB (I have a 4 RAM pc). This still dind't fix it im still getting the error. Are there any other options, or is something wrong with the app. Im using windows 7 at the moment since I was also getting the error with windows 10 (but I haven't tried using 3GB ram with windows 10, if it is worth a shot tell me) So am I stuck or are there more options?
