The moving video was not always opaque, and I could see triangles of the background image. I tried Exile with software acceleration selected (both before and after installing DirectX), and the video ran smoothly, but there were problems with triangles of graphics fluttering and appearing and disappearing. Then it went back to a full screen of Windows, running in the Parallels VM. to switch to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game screen. I tried running Exile with DirectX and it did the same as earlier (Well, I think it included one more step): Screen went black, then the HDTV I'm using as a monitor switched from 16x9 mode to 3x4, which it does when Riven runs. If Myst III: Exile crashes, Myst III: Exile will not start, Myst III: Exile. So I went to Microsoft to install DirectX and got the web installer for DirectX 9.x, downloaded it, and installed it.
I went back and tried to install it from the Exile CD, but could not, since it thought XP was Win NT (which I understand, so that's not an issue). So I did some searching and found a lot that convinced me people are using Direct X on Parallels. I picked DirectX and the program started, the screen went black (Parallels was in full screen mode), and then I was back to my Windows screen - without any warning messages. I installed Exile, started it up, and it gave me a choice of using DirectX or using software for video acceleration. When I installed Exile, I did not try to install DirectX, since I had heard (apparently years ago, according to what I found while searching) that Parallels had issues with DirectX, so I should count on Parallels Tools to handle it. Game Version: Myst III: Exile, version 1.0

I'm using the following configuration on a MacMiniĭirect X Version: 9.x (I'm not sure how to get the actual version number.)
