Posts: 5 		I installed parallels desktop 6 on Macintosh Leopard and I've got a windows xp.

I've installed Muvizu and everything to take to get this worked and the program opens pop-ups but for example in telling me if I want to see the tutorials or when I get to choose who I want to start the movie scene, or the same window in which the camerashows are constantly flashing.

Moving an object with the mouse also is jerky.

The operating system and all is apparently well with all the drivers installed fine.

I do not like having to install windows with bootcamp because I read it takes the original operating system cd and my mac did not come with the cd also I've also read that you can not have wireless keyboard and mouse for the installation and are precisely what I have.

See if someone can lend a hand to find out that it can be all this.

Thank you very much.

Could you give us a few more details about the system that you're using? What sort of spec mac are you running Muvizu on?

Do you have any success running other 3D applications through the Parallels Desktop application?

Thanks,

Luscan

I've used Muvizu on a Mac running VMware Fusion, which is broadly similar to Parallels in that it is software emulating hardware, and initially experienced some problems such as those you recount here.

In my case, I needed to change the graphics settings on my MacBook Pro - the default favours power conservation over performance - and tweak memory settings on the XP side. However, you're always going to take a performance hit using emulation/hardware virtualisation.

I note that your OS is Leopard, so two iterations behind the current Lion, but you've not said what the hardware is. That information would be handy, as would be the properties as stated on the virtualised XP system.

We've no Mac experts here, but some users may be able to help. Also, you might try user groups for people having problems playing Unreal Tournament 3 on Parallels, given that the Unreal Engine is what drives Muvizu.
