Moving over to the Mac environment from Windows. We have a couple of
applications that seem to have no equivalent for Mac, so we are using
Parallels Desktop on a MacBook (Intel), OS X 10.4 7.

Problem: In the Windows 2000 environment under Parallels, we have not been
able to get a display resolution better than 640 x 480. The Parallels help
file has instructions, which we follow, adding (for example) 1024 x 768 to
the list of enabled video resolutions, but even though it's in the
Parallels configuration table, the Windows 2000 display settings continue
to offer nothing but 640 x 480 and 800 x 600. Even if we choose the 800 x
600, the original 640 x 480 stays in effect.

Can anyone offer any help with this?

Have you installed the Parallels additions? These include an improved
video driver which should help with your display problem.
