    is there any utility that allows adjustable resizing of the Parallels Window.

    Or are the only choices the small window or full screen?

    If you set up custom window sizes in the VM settings, then you are supposed to be able to select from them within the VM. It's not infinitely adjustable, because the sizes you can select must be supported sizes in the guest OS.

    Hi Alan,

    thanks for your reply.

    I created a couple of supported resolutions in settings but I can't figure out how to get Parallels to activate them. I thought maybe they would appear in the View menu but I still have the same choices: the small box or full screen.

    Any more info on this?

    Thanks.

    Ed

    update the sizes in windows

    You need to update the display settings in the guest os.

    in windows, right click on the desktop, select properties, and edit the resolution to what you'd like - this will enlarge the small window.

    Thank you Andy.
    That worked!
    Be nice when Parallels has a window you can pull to resize.
