    Hi guy, I am facing a problem with Windows 7 installed on Parallel 10.
    1) Everything goes well when surfing IE, manipulating folders and files, etc.
    2) When I open a game that will automatically go full screen and adjust the screen resolution and color, I get a black screen with BGM going and keyboard activated. The control center shows a correct screenshot of the game and my keyboard inputs are effective.
    3) I can only see the game interface when I am resizing the parallel window, once I stop resizing, I get a black screen again.
    4) This is weird because another game just works fine with full screen mode.
    5) Tried running that game in administrator mode/compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2/Disable visual themes/Disable desktop composition, but did not work.

    Got any clues? Thanks.

    This article does not help at all because I am having a different problem from what is described in the article.
