    Any update on this? It's now been more than 6 months. I *really* want to update to Parallels 4, but I can't as long as I have this issue to deal with.

    Thanks,
    Michael

    grrr

    Anything happening with this problem?

    I really need to run W98 at more than 640x480/16-colour, but can't find a suitable video driver. The one that is on the Parallels 5 ISO is useless - Windows just says its using the best available driver already :( I can't get at the old vmtools.iso on my old parallels 3 disk because I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, and Parallels 3 and 4 won't install.

    Any ideas where vmtools.iso can be found? Or a suitable W98 video driver?

    :(
