    We upgraded XP Pro then installed the new version Parallels on our Tiger machine and immediately increased the VM size.

    More of my wife's games will run now - but now all of the games she used to have running full screen are running on tiny screens (on her 24" iMac).

    I've played around with resolutions (Windows resolutions seem to go back when I reboot Windows though), and ways to start Windows from within Parallels, trying to resolve this problem, but haven't hit on the correct solution.

    How do we get those old arcade style games back to full screen again?

    Hello,

    did you try to use 'View' -> 'Full Screen'?
    Also there might be a problem with Parallels Desktop. Did you try to re-install it?

    Best regards,
    Stacey

    I found the solution - but haven't yet examined to find the costs.

    I found the preference that has:

    Full Screen [] Change Mac OS X resolution

    I checked it, opened it full screen, and ran the game. My wife was using the other Parallels mode that looks like OS-X.
