    Can you post your Machines details ? (VM and the Mac)
    Maybe there is a hint in there...

    hi, i am trying to run Flyff, a free MMORPG made by Gpotato at Gpotato.com. the game needs at least 128mb of ram to run, and the VM gives me 192. My Mac has 512mb of ram on its own.
    My Windows desktop has 1gb of ram and i a Nvidia GForce 6800 GT graphics card and still has the same problem as my mac. so im sure its not a graphics card problem.

    um could it be the video memory? if so how do i change it, the only memory option i get its the main RAM.

    Hello,

    this game requires DirectX 9.0 to run correctly. But unfortunately DirectX 9.0 is not available in current version of Parallels, but our developers are working hard to make it available in future versions.

    Best regards,
    Stacey
