    Hello -

    Absolutely amazing piece of software - well done.

    I am running Parallels with Windows XP Home as the guest OS on my MacBook Pro - 2Ghx, 2GB RAM - works like a dream - can flick back and forth between Parallels and OS X easily.

    But one of my WIndows programs needs a colour depth of higher than 24 bit. Is it possible to increase it? I have only 16 bit and 24 bit as options.

    Thanks in advance,


    Andrew

    Which program are you referring to, out of curiousity? I suppose it needs the 8 alpha bits then, for 32 bit color?

    While we're here---I can't seem to get more than 16 bit color at 2560x1600. I'd like 24 there at least, too :)

    Looks like Parallels may need to devote more memory to the framebuffer :)

    This has been asked and answered before by Parallels. 32 bit color was left out in error and will be in the next build. Forum search is a wonderful thing.
