Hardware Acceleration Problem

I am not using Virtual PC. However, I am using Parellels on my Mac. I
recently installed a copy of Windows Vista on my computer through Parellels
and, so far, it has ran fine. But, for some reason, it seems Windows is not
picking up on my graphics card. I am running an ATI Radeon X1900 XT and I am
also running an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, both of which are compatible with
Windows Vista. I already tried installing the updates from Microsoft. I
have also tried installing the driver from ATI for Vista, and it said that it
could not detect any hardware. Could someone help me out???

As far as I know, Parallels Desktop still doesn't YET have graphics
card acceleration - just like Virtual PC it won't work with anything
that requires 3D graphics hardware. Last I heard they were working on
adding this feature to a future version of Parallels Desktop.

At the moment using Apple's Boot Camp is the only way to get 3D
graphics acceleration support for Windows applications.

Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o)

Get an Intel Mac and try running multiple Parallels
or run Parallels and Fusion concurrently.
