    Heyy there,

    I installed Parallels yesterday, installed Steam & Super Meat Boy, and was playing for many hours without a hitch.

    I come back today to find this error upon opening Super Meat Boy:

    Could not create graphics device.
    Failed with Error: -2005530518
    Format: 22
    Res: 640 x 480
    Windowed: 1
    --------------Driver Details--------------
    Driver: prl_umdd.dll
    Description: Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM)
    Device Name: \\.\DISPLAY1
    Product: 7
    Version: 14
    SubVersion: 10
    Build: 11800

    I've tried changing launch options in Steam, reinstalling the game, reinstalling DirectX, reinstalling Parallels Tools even!

    I just don't understand why it worked yesterday, but not today?!

    Any ideas would be appreciated,

    Cheers,
    Phil D
