star was episode 1 racer ... almost

hi there,

i am trying to get my old favourite game "star was episode 1 racer" to get to play under xp in parallels 4.
it works until i try to actually race.
at that point the graphics start go get messy.
(either just a white screen or garbled graphics though the latter only happens after a fresh windwos install ????)


does anyone have an idea what i could try?
or is it just impossible to get it to work because of the "hardware" parallels is providing?


thanks for any hints

p.s.:
the game works fine with crossover games 7.1.1 but i cannot get ipx network support to work there.
in parallels however i got ipx to work just the graphics dont work.
so i hope there is a solution
 
Please refer to the list of supported games at
http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/features/3d/

Also please check that this game requires Windows 98, and will not work under Windows Xp

Operating System: Windows 95 or 98, Computer: 100% Windows 95/98 DirectX compatible computer required
CPU: 200 MHz or faster CPU required
Memory: 32MB RAM required

err, sorry, but it worked fine on my old computer using windows xp.
lucasarts explicitely put out an updated version for xp.

anyhow, is it possible to install win98 on parallels and then using the 3d modes as well ?
