Will Parallels XP Video Driver support MBP 1440x900?

seanyc · Apr 25, 2006

I'd like to run XP at fullscreen at the full MBP resolution 1440x900.

Will this be possible in future drivers?

For now I us MS remote desktop client to get this resolution but it is not that stable.

Thanks, Sean

weird crash/load problems

When I went to 5, my vga drivers stopped loading, I get errors from Windows saying it couldnt' find hardware, and I can't run some programs (like for example my daughter's toontown.com)

Anybody else having this problem?

Please, reinstall Parallels Tools - everything should be ok after that.

Beta 5 supports this just fine on my MBP. Works great.

running full resolution on MBP and cinema HD

Running B5 on MBP and 1440 x 900 full screen on the MB, and 1920 x 1200 on the external Cinema HD display...works wonderful...and this is Beta!!
