    My wife just upgraded to Parallels 4. The first thing we saw is that it takes a long time to boot up. The second thing we noticed is that the full screen games she runs only fill a small rectangle on the screen.

    They were full screen in Parallels 3. How do we change this?

    I tried changing the window size in Windows XP, and it seemed to take. If I picked the right resolution, she could run her full screen games. She didn't used to do this.

    But every time we reboot Windows XP, it resets the screen resolution to match her Mac. How do we stop that?

    Solved. My wife had her window close when she logged off. So when I tried to check the "Adjust the host computer's screen resolution in full mode", it was always greyed out. I changed it so I could see the configuration setting after logging off, and was able to check this.
