    Hi,

    I have an old Windows 95 game (C&C2) installed on my Bootcamp partition. In order to start the game, the .exe file must be set to Windows 95 compatibility.
    Now, when I start the game within Bootcamp, there is no problem whatsoever. However, when trying to start it through Parallels 6, while I hear the start-up sounds of the game, the Parallels window suddenly shrinks and remains black or weirdly coloured. I have to quit the game in the Mac OS (10.6.4) dock, and then Windows still has all those weird colours, as apparently my colour setting are re-set to the lowest level (8 bit).

    I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me what the problem might be.

    Thanks a lot in advance!
