I have parallels, and I installed call of duty 2(for windows) on it. I got the call of duty 2 demo for mac first, and that worked fine. Now when I try running the windows version, it says my video card doesn't have/support dynamic textures! Is this something that parallels does, running both OS's, it doens't give all the resources to the game? Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks!
I have tiger, and therefore don't have bootcamp

The graphics card that Parallels presents to the OS is very limited. If you want to play CoD2, buy the Mac version and play in OS X or download BootCamp (it's still available some places) and set your clock back temporarily to use it for partitioning.
