viper55666 is on a distinguished road
Macbook Pro bootcamp XP Screen resolution

I have a 19" Phillips screen, it works fine in OSX (adjusts to max resolution) but when i use it in XP (Bootcamp) if i use a resolution higher than 1024 x 768 the desktop area is beyond the screen size E.g. have to scroll around to see different parts of the desktop. Ive been told this is because of the overlay settings but don't seem to have option in my ATI settings so it was suggested that i need a new driver but i can't get one from anywhere.
Pls Help

no idea, I had issues with bootcamp on a secondary monitor too... I don't think the adapter driver quite works right.

Have you tried editing Video / Screen resolutions within the parallels definition of your virtual machine? Enable custom screen resolutions & add a new size. I was having some weirdness with my macbook pro 17" and I believe I fixed it by adding a custom resolution of 1680 * 1050.

I also unchecked 'allow to change macosx screen resolution' under preferences/Appearance/full screen options - as this was annoying me by shoving my desktop and other windows all over the shop.
