    I simply got Parallels Desktop 12 for my Macbook Pro to be able to use regristy editor (regedit) on a minecraft. It basically just improves latency and makes your connection better. I get 250-600fps without Parallels & I get around 250-350fps on the game through Parallels, which is not a problem at all, the problem I have is that the screen is producing what looks like 50hz (50fps) or 40Hz when I try to play the game or just moving my mouse around on the desktop. I checked my Device Manager and my "Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM)" is up to date along with my Generic Non-PnP Monitor. I had an option earlier yesterday for my screen to produce 65Hz in my "Display Adapter Properties" and then it changed for some reason after I opened Action (recording software). If anyone can help me either get the 65Hz option to show up again or just help my output be smooth, that'd be great. Thanks.

    Hi Marcoc3, sometimes in games and 3D applications, a newly rendered frame may overlap a previously rendered one and then screen tearing happens. This occurs when the video card or the software using it begins updating the actively-displayed memory in a manner that is out of sync with the monitor's refresh rate. To prevent screen tearing, select the Enable vertical synchronization option. If you want to prevent Virtual Machine Configuration from further unauthorized changes, click the Lock icon The Lock icon at the bottom of the window. The next time someone wants to change the settings on any pane of Virtual Machine Configuration, an administrator's password will be required.
