Virtual PC & Games :)

Ok, here's one:

I have a VPC WinXP Install I have setup mostly to lock my kids down for
basic, online games. It works fantastic. They can play games, download
whatever they want, and I don't have to worry about the clutter on my
primary install.

Now, I natively run resolution at 1280x1024. So, I "full screen" the WinXP
VPC, and low and behold, the games they are after (Insaniquarium, etc.)
cause VPC to bop back out to my desktop where it is in a window and prompt
them with "this application asked to change resolution, etc. etc."

Now, if I downgrade my resolution on my main PC to 800x600, and then go into
VPC, all of their games (these are MSN downloadable games) work just like a
charm with no problems.

Anyone run into something similar or is the fix I have the best fix out
there? :)
