    I am using this version of Parallels Desktop Build 9.0.24251. On yosemite. I am running win xp with SP3. After some time, Parallels decided to set the screen resolution to my retina display. I can't change it back and the icons on win are too small. When I change the display in win XP, and apply it eventually changes back to retinal display.



    I am also having a problem with some PC games running on win XP especially Sim City 3K. 3K and attire pinball start, sometimes don't run and quit.



    Is there anything I can do to play legacy games on win XP via paralells? Can I also decrease the screen resolution in win xp?


    MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), Mid 2014, 2.5- i7, 16 GB RAM,
