Windows On Mac :: Can Win On Apple Run Every Windows Program

Apr 1, 2009

So, I've been using Windows all my life. Some not by choice.

My notebook died and I'm in search for a new one and I'm considering the macbook.

The only question I have is, will it run every Windows program without any issues? I'm going to be using this for work. Besides your typical Office suite, I run AutoCAD, Adobe CS, Audio and Video editing and burning. And all the licenses are for Windows.

I just want to make sure I won't have any software issues before taking the leap.

I guess what I'm asking is, is Windows under an Apple hardware work exactly as Windows would?

Windows On Mac :: Program Not Running On Bootcamp - This Program Cannot Run On A Computer With Less Than 64 Megabytes Of Ram

Aug 24, 2009

I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro, the new unibody ones, and I installed Windows XP, using BootCamp.

I made it a 29 or so GB partition, so it used the FAT32 formatting.

The program I tried to install is the eyeQ speed reading program, and the laptop exceeds every single one of the recommended requirements.

The problem comes when I am attempting to install the program, I keep getting an error message in which it says "This program cannot run on a computer with less than 64 megabytes of ram."

Last time I checked my laptop has 4 GB of ram, and it says the same thing when I checked it while running Windows XP.

My only guess, which I made while typing this, was that I should have formatted the Windows partition using NTSF.

Windows On Mac :: Apple ALum Wireless Keyboard Windows XP Drivers?

Jul 2, 2009

Having problems with the Audio, Brightness and eject button keys after windows xp automatic update. Buttons sometimes work after a shutdown and restart, sometimes not. Tried the Bootcamp 2.1 reinstall but didnt help much. Where the heck can i get drivers for the bloody thing?

Apologies for the lingo but im quite frustrated. it takes apple yrs to fix one problem but only for another to appear.

I already gave up on Realtek doing something about their crappy sound quality (despite releasing a new driver every two weeks) and the mighty mouse freezing after hibernation unless u press the left button like a man possesed!!

Windows On Mac :: Download Specific Drivers In Windows 7 64 Bit, Or Stick To The Apple Ones?

Jun 10, 2010

Apologies if there are other specific threads like this, I did do an MRoogle search but couldn't find one.I've just got a new 15" 2.66ghz i7 MacBook Pro, and have Windows 7 64 bit ready to install. My question is, once I have it installed, with all the Snow Leopard drivers and 3.1 update, should I continue to download drivers from the manufacturers's websites, or just stick to the ones that Apple hands out in their updates?I suppose I'm specifically asking about the NVIDIA drivers. Should I install the most recent drivers for the 330m, or again just stick to the Apple ones?

Windows On Mac :: Boot Into Windows 7 RC From OSX W/ Apple Wireless Keyboard?

May 6, 2009

As far as I understand there is a bug that stops Windows 7 or Vista from showing up in the Start Up disk options in the preference settings.

So the only option is to go through the boot menu selection but unfortunately I am using the Apple wireless keyboard and holding the option key down doesn't bring up the boot selection screen. Is there anything I can do ... or am I forced to use a USB keyboard for now ?

For the record I have the Wireless Keyboard and Mighty mouse paired and working in Windows 7 ( The keyboard has occasional lag from the first keystroke input but is fine from then ) Its just that I get no response from keystrokes during boot up.

MacBook Pro :: Get Windows To Run Program

Sep 2, 2010

I just started a new class and it involves the use of a program that needs Windows to run. I have no idea how I will be able to use it with a Mac. I asked my professor and he suggested installing Vmware. I did this and I don't know what to do because the disc still won't run. Does anyone know how I can get Windows on my Mac so I can run this program? I am not that savvy when it comes to computers.

Windows On Mac :: XP Set Program - Format Partition?

May 2, 2009

I ran the bootcamp utility on my Macbookpro with no problems. Selected the first option for partition of 32Gb, ran the XP Pro SP2 disc and it never gave me the option to format... Obviously got a "disc error, press any key to continue" message since the drive is not "bootable." So I found a thread online that sent me to the XP site to discuss FAT32 issues. The drive can't be larger than 32Gb (which it shows 32,600 after the partition), so I deleted the part. and rebuilt it at 30Gb. Still didn't give me the option to format the drive! It shows the partitions, so I select the C:yatta-yatta-/bootcampwhatever , press enter and it starts installing... Any idea on how to force the XP setup program to allow me to format the silly partition?

IMac :: Parallels Won't Let Me Install A Windows Program?

Jan 22, 2009

I just purchased a new IMac 20 for my home office and I had it set up from MacMall with a number of pieces of software including Parallels and Windows XP Home. I really want this Mac to work (I love my MacBook Pro), but I can't seem to load a piece of Windows software that I HAVE to be able to use. After I put the disc in I keep getting the same error message "The application failed to initialize properly (0x000135). Click OK to terminate." I have tried this same disc in a few pc's and it works fine.....so it has to be my new Mac. BTW the software is something I use that is specific to the funeral industry and the vendor does not support MAC, so I have to work this out on my own.

Windows On Mac :: Running XP Compatible Program Using Fusion 2

Jul 14, 2009

I have installed windows xp pro through fusion 2 in my 15' macbook pro, the memory it gets shared is 512mb and the hard drive gets 40GB. Is it enough to run accounting and office softwares with total satisfaction? Secondly, can I run windows compatible program through the use of fusion 2 without running windows os everytime? Does that way save power to extend power life? Additionally, I just found that the white background color of the accounting program really hurts my eyes. Is there certain ways to make white background color look moderate to the eyes?

Applications :: Looking For A Re-recording Program Like (Tunebite For Windows)?

Jul 14, 2010

So I just recently converted to all Mac. With that being said, I purchased a couple seasons of Mad Men via iTunes.

Now with music, I know you can burn the album to a cd and then import from cd to have a non-drm album. Not knowing, I've come to realize that you can't do this with videos.

I've read that you can backup your iTunes library on DVD, but I really don't want to do this all the time. I have my iTunes library on my ext hdd with a TM partition, but I don't want to rely on it (also my media is going to eventually outgrow that TM partition).

So, with that being said, I'm looking for a program that will re-record (or as others put it DRM stripping) the original untouched purchased video and give me a DRM free copy for backup.

Or, if there are any programs out there or methods of completely backing up iTune's purchased video, then I'm open ears.

Safari :: It Opens Numerous Windows Upon Running Program

May 13, 2012

Whenever I to open Safari, over 80 windows open immediately.  My homepages are two websties and I'll get probably 30 or so windows with my Home "pages" combination, and then another 50 of windows of sites I visted recently.  If I proceed to close the windows out, Would reinstalling Safari work? Or does this look like a virus and should I just restore from my time machine backup? My most recent backup is roughly 1 week old and my external has not been connected since this began to happen. It's worth noting this only happens to Safari--Firefox works perfectly fine. No other odd behaviors (ie. system lag, program crashes, etc.) have appeared. 

Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Windows On Mac :: NVIDIA Setup Program Could Not Locate Any Drivers That Are Compatible?

Feb 28, 2010

I'm running the 24" dual 3.06 ghz iMac with an NVIDIA 8800gs, bootcamp partitioned with windows 7 (32bit) and snow leopard.

First off, I just want to say that it works perfectly well, no problems with the bootcamp software, windows 7 works like a dream (but is no mas os, obviously). The only problem I am having, however, is when I try and update my nvidia drivers.

The bootcamp nvidia drivers are fine, but I have recently been getting the general protection fault when playing mass effect - causing it to crash fairly often. To remedy this, I tried to install the latest nvidia 8800gs driver from their website. Every time I try, be it in safe mode after uninstalling the current drivers, manually or just running the executable, I keep getting the same message in the title.

I tried searching the forums for a remedy, and there are some similar cases, none I have found thus far have been able to get this working for me. I even uninstalled all the bootcamp files under windows 7, still didn't work. Is there currently some issue with the mac-model 8800GS?
