I want to play some games on this virtual machine (Windows XP) but I didn't like there that some textures are sometimes disappearing and the game knocking me out what is different from full windows. I think that this is because I have there parallels video adapter instead of the Geforce 8600m which I have. When I was trying to install the drivers for windows for geforce it said to me that there are no device on my computer.

How can I repair it?
 
You can't change the Parallels video adapter driver. Parallels "emulates" (if that is the right word in this context) its own video card for use by the VM. That card uses your Mac's video card using the Mac's built-in drivers. However, since Windows isn't directly talking to the Mac's video card, but rather to the Parallels video card, there's no point trying to change the driver - Windows indeed can't "see" your Mac's video card and therefore can't make use of the driver for that card. For games compatibility see the relevant threads on this forum.
 
Thank you for your reply!
Can you give me the link to these treads... I'm from Russia and it is difficult for me to search. The game is called "Planet Side"... maybe if you know or saw something about it - send me please a link!
Thank you!
