    I installed Parallels 6 and have a Win 7 64 bit virtual machine running:
    - memory 2 GB
    - video card: 256 MB, enable 3D acceleration, enable vertical synchronisation.

    I noticed that the graphic card is giving a low Windows index value:most values are between 4.5 to 5.9, only the value for graphic is 2.

    I installed the program ArcGIS Explorer (from the ESRI website) and get an error when I'm starting it:
    I get following window:
    "Internal Graphics Card Error

    ArcGIS Explorer detected a serious application error that involved your grpahics adapter:
    Adapter: Parallels display adapter (WDDM)
    driver: 6.0.11822.0 (2010/09/14)
    mode: 961x664x4294967296 colors

    Ensure that your graphics card is up to date.

    So it seems the quality of the graphics card is not good enough for a 64 bit Windows version.
    I have on another Macbook Pro the same program in a Windows XP 32 bit virtuam machine, using Parallels 5 and it works fine.

    So how can I resolve this? In your advertising you mention 'improved graphic performance for 64 bit" , but it doesn't work for me
