Graphics problems running EQII on an iMac via Parallels Desktop 6.

<p>I am playing EQII on an iMac 21.5" using Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac (Windows XP) and I'm having graphics problems.</p><p>I can see fires at a distance but when I get close the fire effect changes to a kaleidoscope/compound eye effect reflecting either my character or what's behind her.  Also I can't see through glass textures (the windows in the Halas house, the screens from the Erollisi collection) some trees are buggy as well some stone textures (the walls in Kejan's Rill and around the pandas in Sundered Frontier).</p><p>Any ideas what I can tweak in options to try and stop this?</p>

<p>Perhaps a fellow community member may be able to give you some advise but unfortunately SOE does not officially support the use of virtual machines.</p>
