Michael,

Thanks for the quick response. I had seen somewhere that build 4560 was supposed to have enabled Parallels to run DirectX 9 so I installed it and tested it. But apparently the person who reported that it was working was in error. Direct Draw works fine but the Direct3D button is not enabled. Guess I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that they'll finally get it sorted out.

MOI is a neat program. The older I get the more I appreciate simplicity in life and straightforward, clean functionality. That's one reason I like Xara better than Illustrator.

Good luck and thanks again.

Brian
