    Did a fresh install of Windows 7, everything working well with one exception.

    Every time I switch back to the Windows 7 VM the video resolution is reset to 1024 x 768. I need to switch to my desired resolution of 2560 x 1440 each time and it's a pain in the butt.

    Help?

    Thanks, Adam

    Solved

    Solved this one myself. If you open Parallels in a window it reverts to a resolution that is the closest size to the window. If you expand the Parallels window to the full screen Parallels will boot into it's native resolution. In this case 2560 x 1440.

    Hope this helps someone down the road who runs into the same problem.

    I'm fully migrated to a VM in Parallels 6 from Bootcamp and everything is working very well at almost native speed.
