Parallels on a Mac - apparent LC anomalies

[Graham Samuel]

I no longer have a PC but I'm trying to test an app intended for PC use. I'm using Parallels 6 to emulate an XP machine on my Mac. Mostly this works, but the LiveCode functions that retrieve the machine, processor, OS type and (most importantly) the screenrect(s) just give you the Mac equivalents.

I hardly expect Parallels to change things for me, but does anyone know how LC gets this kind of data and whether there is any workaround for people in my position?

TIA

PS I think I found one more anomaly - I have a stack that I don't want the user to see. I put it at 10000,10000 - this works fine on the Mac, but on the "PC", its loc seems to change back to the screenloc. The only solution I could find was to hide the stack. Anyone else seen this?
