Screen resolution inflation

[Howard Brazee]

When I leave Parallels up for a while, I get a window telling me to set up my video memory in Parallels. So I do. But it happens again. It's already up to (in my XP) to 40 MB. I have it running with the task bar just above my dock. 1344 x 734 pixels. That seems awfully excessive - or is there a memory leak?

I'm getting exactly the same, and it keeps happening despite me increasing the memory. I'm on a Macbook Air (1.8/SSD model) running Parallels build 5592. My dock is hidden, so I'm not convinced it's anything to do with the dock.

Incidentally whenever I return to find this message displayed, Parallels is consuming in excess of 100% CPU.

I've tried to find a log showing the specific message so I can log it as an issue, but there doesn't appear to be a current log anywhere.

Anyone else?
