My wife wants to play her old RealArcade games on her iMac. These are full-screen on Windows.

We start Parallels and WIndows opens in a small window. After Windows boots, the window gets big (usually). When she runs Feeding Frenzy, in a window, she gets a very small window - and if it is in that window or full screen, the cursor misses - the game and the cursor do not agree on the cursor position (making it hard).

She ran Insanitarium Deluxe, and got the small window again. In full screen mode, it is possible to move the cursor to the bottom right - and we see the Mac screen. instead of the WIndows screen

A couple of times, Windows settings got stuck at the small screen size - easily changed with Windows settings.

The only other thing she uses Windows for is for an occasional business contact that requires Active-X IE.
