Game Will Not Run in Parallels

Hi there,

I installed Microsoft's game, Viva Pinata, on my iMac but ran into problems when trying to play it as the video card was showing as a Parallels Video card. Game will not run on his Windows XP SP2 system either; however, it seems that the ATI video card might be just a little too old. I think the game is more intended towards Vista (which I don't have). I am happy to stick with XP SP2 on this one computer as we're moving over slowly to Macs. Anyway, is this a known issue with the video card driver? Can anything be done to resolve this? The other problem was the RAM. I had it set as 1,000 MB (having 2 GB on the iMac) but M$ needs 1024 MB. Parallels doesn't want me to change it to any setting above 1,000 MB.

Ideas please? I'm debating whether BootCamp (NOT installed) would sort this out. Not sure it's worth it for one game as I'm happy with Parallels.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Lynn
