Cant change Parallels 4 settings...

[adamvk]

So, I want to change the settings for Parallels 4, because when I go to configure, it shows that it is currently only using 512MB of ram, and 128MB of video ram. However, I can't change the settings because it is grayed out, so I cant move any sliders....Anyone know why?

Also just wanna say, Oblivion runs nicely 1280x800

You need to shut your virtual machine down before those settings can be changed. Suspend/sleep/hibernate modes still leave the vm in a running state. You would change the RAM in your physical machine while it was running . . . would you?

Ok, thanks, that worked

Also, would upgrading ram to 4GB for parallels help alot?

If you upgrade your system RAM to 4GB then you could give 2GB to your virtual machine which would improve performance.
