How to enable opengl vertical sync?

[timdiggins]

I am using a relatively obscure opengl app and trying to boot it under parallels.

It complains of "Program can't enable Vertical Sync. Please do it in the
the OpenGL settings of your graphic card."

this usually happens when the specific card isn't supported by the software. However the REAL card (on a macbook pro) IS supported by the software, but maybe the parallels architecture isn't supporting it.

is there a way to adjust vertical sync either in the config of the VM (in parallels) or in the Display Control Panel (usually there is a graphics-card specific or Advanced tab that has opengl config.

Hello, timdiggins,

OpenGL vertical sync. is generally supported by the Parallels.
We'd like to have more information to analyze your problem.

1. What OS do you use?

Windows XP as guest, Mac 10.4.10 on MacBook Pro as Host,

2. Which program are you trying to boot?

"eStudio" by Brainstorm Multimedia SA
(It's a realtime 3d studio design program - I'm mainly developing in it, so don't have major 3d demands, but need to do small tests - it does have a macos version, but I'm doing some windows integration features)

3. Could you give us the direct link on the software you use?

www.brainstorm.es is the company who make it

4. When exactly do you get the error message?

when you start up the software.
You then get the typical behaviour of this software without full opengl hardware support.

5. Could you send the error message screenshot on my PM?

The error message (exactly as I typed in my Original message) is displayed in the console (cmd.exe output) and as a custom dialog. Not very helpful I think
