> Haven't tried VMWare. Its all a matter of how they go about configuring their video card and display components. All we can do is run standard OS calls, and take what that returns to us. Which seems to work fine for Parellels. We have been testing Win7 (real, not emulated) and haven't been finding any issues, so I suspect its not Win7, but VMWare thats causing the snag, but thats just speculation.
