Revit 2013 won't work correctly when installed on a Macbook Pro Retina

[Anonymous]

Please could someone help me? I have just bought a Macbook Pro Retina and I have installed Windows 7 Professional using Boot Camp. I then downloaded and installed Revit 2013. When I open a file in Revit, the 2 drop down menu's at the bottom of the page continuously flicker (shown by the arrows on the attached screen shot). Also, the ribbon menu across the top the screen and the menu down the left hand side don't show up (this can also be seen in the screen shot), unless I hover the cursor over the menu.

Please note: I have tried disabling the "Use Hardware Acceleration" option, but this doesn't fix the issue. Also, I have the Update Release 2 installed, which is currently the latest version.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I desperately need Revit working for my Uni work.

Thanks very much in advance.

Still sounds lke the Boot Camp or Parallel Desktop software is limiting your RAM usage.  There should be a setting within these apps that will allow you to increase the amount of RAM usage.

You may also double check to verify the graphics card in your laptop is Autodesk compliant to run Revit Architecture 2013

I had the very same problem, my solution worked with the resolution.  The hierachy is as follows..

1) Parallels Configuration>Video>Resolution>Scaled

     (This is the main problem I had, if you leave this in the default setting of Best for Retina, in Windows it will always change no matter what personalization setting you chage)

2) Windows>Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Text size at smallest 

     (Medium or Large did not work for me)

3) WIndows>Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Resolution

      (Anythin over 1600x1200 worked for me)

It had to be in this order, or settings kept changing for me.  I use Windows 8 with Revit 2014.

Its because your retina screen, you have to set windows on 1920x1200 or less, then it will work properly.
