    Hello,

    A user here in our company has a Mac PC and is running Parallels (version 4 I think). They have WinXP home
    loaded as a guest OS. The OS runs quite similar to that of an actual PC. We have some 16-bit real mode software that
    uses VESA graphics (256 color mode at 800x600 resolution). When I try to run this software, all I get is a blank window.
    Is there any way to get this software to run ? I cannot change the video graphics driver in WinXP guest OS. Maybe some other modification?

    Thanks
    Mike

    Dear eljainc,

    Would you please specify the Parallels Desktop version and the exact software name and version?
    It need to be tested in labs in order to provide any solution.
