    This is the second time I am running the new download

    and I am getting very bad screen errors only on WinXP sp2 on Parallels window as a whole
    View menu OS Window

    usable for text only
    rainbow colurs in icons
    bands of false colours

    ===


    when I do BETA testing for AOL localisation
    here is a standrd bug reporting system

    where I email a report in a standardised way from a browser window wih drop down menus OS processor etc etc

    YOU ARE HERE: Beta Tests > AOL 9.0 VR > Report a Bug

    after one hour the flickers have stopped

    but the rendering of the image on the desktop is pixellated

    AHA
    it has dropped to 8 bit 1440 x 950

    << so that is the error introduced by this beta on the second run >>

    full screen mode for the second tiome 1920 x 1200 8 bit again
    manually reset to 24 bit same res
    OK

    32 bit forces 1689 x 1050

    all on the Apple Cinema HD as a second screen


    going back from
    full screen mode 1920 x 1200
    hangs on 24 bit when 1440 x 950 should be 32 bit when i made the setting

    Repeating the rotation ============

    revolution drops to 8 bit instead of 24

    THE BUG
    alt control

    on revolution back
    remains on 8 bit instead of going back to 32 bit

    put it on the "to be fixed" list please

    caching users own screen settings and reverting

    the reason it apparenly happened on the second run
    is that I rotated as a demo to a house guest towards the end of yesterday's session

    she, a pc user, gasped ;-)



    regards
