Sorry, but we do not support running our games under emulation as a general rule. In this case, it appears that Parallels is not providing the game with sufficient information about the video chipset's functions or with enough access to it.

The game should work fine though under Boot Camp (which only emulates the BIOS and otherwise runs Windows natively) if that is an option for you.
