Is it possible to keep the window mode to stay at a certain size like 1024 x 768? My MBP resolution is 1440 x 900. Every time I launch Windows, the window size almost fill up the whole scrren. I like to open it at 1024 x 768 every time in Window Mode. I play another with the screen thingy but nothing works.
move the right corner of the Parallels Window until you get the size you like then click the green button top left twice Mac OS remembers the last two windows sizes Hugh W
Strangely, the method you described didn't work for me. Thanks anyway for trying to help. I found the way, I think. Launch in Window mode, and set the Windows XP appearance settings to 1024 x 768. So long as I don't resize in WIndow mode, every time I launch in Window mode or toggle between fullscreen and Coherence, it stays at 1024 x 768.
Still having issues Any suggest for my problem: I want to have resolution of 1024x768 when I have the VM in full windows mode coverning my entire screen. When I do what others prescribe, I set the resolution in Windows but then it only resized the entire window on my Mac desktop. When I drag the box to make it bigger it actually then changes the resolution setting to higher res. Help....
I have two screens and run both at max resolution mac Book at 1680 x 1050 cinema at 1920 by 1200 and both with millions of ccolors I don't bother with coherence now the novelty has worn off 1539 x 1069 WinXP Sp 2 desktop goes on either screen according to the task in hand Hugh W
If I understand you correctly, all you need to do is to right click inside the VM screen, and change the display settings to a lower resolution. The screen will resize itself to a smaller scale. If you want to go full screen, then you click on the full screen button. I hope this will help.
