Hi Mikko, yeah unfortunately MoI will not run under Parallels because Parallels is not able to transparenty emulate your video card as far as 3D graphics features goes (2D is emulated ok). So under that environment Windows thinks that it is running without any accelerated 3D hardware, and Direct3D which MoI uses for its 3d display does not have a software-emulation mode, it only runs on hardware acceleration.
So no 3D hardware acceleration means no MoI display.
The only way that I know of that will work right now is to use an Intel-based Mac and boot it to Windows - then MoI should run fine.
I saw some mention on the Parallels web site that they are going to attempt to do some kind of video hardware emulation layer in a future version, so this might get better with a future verson of Parallels.
