Hi, I got parallels up and running to read my bootcamp partition where I have 3ds Max installed. it runs ok but i have 2 issues. first is that periodically the program window for 3ds max when it refreshes or something it does a weird redraw where the whole window gets shifted up or down, it alternates. its kind of annoying because it breaks where you have to look on the screen at something. is it a direct3d issue with the program?

next is os x system monitor the process for the parallels vm shows it at 50% cpu usage constantly in the process list but in the cpu tab in the program it only shows like 1%. which is right? i have 8 processors allocated (2009 Mac pro 2.66 quad core) to parallels. in the task manager in windows however it doesnt show any cpu usage like that. any ideas on these things? thanks much
