    Hi

    Just installed parallels and thinks have works great!. My only issue is the display settings, when i turn on windows (XP pro) and open full screen, i keep having to go into the settings to change the screen to 1200 x 800. as its all bunched up and the settings are wrong.
    I have also changed the settings (video) on parallels but everytime i turn on windows, nothing changes as it reverts back to default settings 640 x 480 .

    Can someone advise what i am doing wrong? i want to be able to switch between osx and windows without keep having to change the dispaly settings.

    Hello!

    1. Please install Parallels Tools via Actions menu
    2. Please open Parallels, go to Preferences, Appearance menu and
    uncheck the "Change MacOSX resolution" option.

    Best regards,
    John
