    prob with simcity 4 deluxe on mac via parallels

    hi

    i installed simcity 4 deluxe on my mac through the parallels desktop software (my game being a pc game) and i started playing it fine. i then changed the screen resolution and the game told me that the changes wouldn't initiate until a restart. anyways, i saved my game and went to replay the game. it runs the only problem is that there's just a black screen now - there's a split second of pink static and then i can see the image of the game - and then it just stays black and i can't do anything. i mean its running i.e the music is playing, if i randomly click it (i.e the 'map' page) will open a game file but the blackness....why????

    help please???

    Maybe the software you're using needs to be updated or else your video driver needs updated.

    Maybe one of the Mac nerds on here would know more than I do.
    No offense to any MAC users! :ducks:

    Mac is evil. Is this parallels software some kind of VM? I would look around the SC4 install location for some kind of configuration document and see if you can edit the screen resolution in that. I don't have SC4 installed on this desktop right now, if I install it later I will try and find the config file and post back.
