Windows Movie Maker running in Vista under Parallels

[defroster]

How come Windows Movie Maker doesn't work in Vista running on Parallels? What can I do to make it work? When I open up the software it says that the level of hardware acceleration is not enough. Is there a way to get around this?

thanks, d

The best way to work around this is probably to use iMovie on the Mac OS X side.

Microsoft is now providing link so Vista users can download Movie Maker 2.6.

I was able to get this to work in Parallels 3.0 Build 5584.

The link to Movie Maker 2.6 for Vista , as of 3/9/08, is:

And hopefully, Parallels will get things worked out so we won't have to backslide.
