Moved from "How to"

I installed Windows 95 (memories) and all is working (haven't tried networking yet) but it's limited to 640x480. I tried changing the drivers etc, but get errors. How do I get the screen resolution to be higher. Like 1600x1200 etc?

Thanks

Have you tried doing it from within Windows?

Of course, that is where I am doing it from. now that I've played with the drivers, I can go to 800x600 but get errors on reboot and am now in an endless boot cycle "Change rez. reboot, error, detect hardware, reboot, error" etc.

Have you installed Parallels Tools? See Parallels Desktop for Mac User Guide bottom of page 66.

After installing Parallels Tools, you may need to manually install video drivers in Windows 95. Parallels Desktop for Mac User Guide bottom of page 71 instructions for Windows 98 should get you started in the right direction.

I tried doing it from the menu and nothing happened in windows 95.
 
Good News:
I got the video drivers to work, I manually mounted the Parallels VM Tools image (in /Library/Parallels/Tools/) and it worked.

Now the Networking is another issue.
