    Hello there!

    Got my father to finally get a MAC, he got a new iMac.. and loves it..

    However, he's a senior now, and likes his old ways of the Windows PC.

    So, I installed Parallels 3.0, and did all the updates, and ran into a problem.

    Im computer tech myself, so I can communicate pretty well, with questions, and what not.

    Now, I installed this program, and got absolutely no help on video through the manual, or practically anywhere on the Parallels site. Im kinda upset about this, the video shows up as 256 colors, and doesn't appear to let me change the video driver. NO WHERE is this mentioned to change/fix whatever, box says 3D !! Yadda Yadda!

    The Networking card is working, no sound, but I dont care. Just need this video card issue resolved, and everything will be done! Can't view or do ANYTHING with a 256 color display driver!!! Sorry.. no anger towards anyone, just venting on something I believe should be addressed first thing espically in a manual. NOTHING in the manual.. anywayz.

    So, if someone could help me out, I would appreciate it greatly! =P

    I figure I could get the ATI drivers, or hwatever, finding out the model of the vid card, but it doesn't list any way for the drivers to change, once logged into Parallels.

    FYI, I have Win 2k Pro. installed in parallels. Dont have any other OS, DAD prefers Win 2K Pro, and has stuff that either doesn't run well in XP, or doesn't run at all. He doesn't like XP anywayz.. so 2K Pro is only option.

    Oh, and im on MAC OSX 10.4.11

    Thanks In Advance!
