[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1161022, member: 24160"] If you're new to Macs, starting off by tring to install Windows apps is, quite frankly, not the way to go. You're just making it harder than it has to be, i.e. you're not doing yourself any favors. Whatever type application you're looking for, I'd suggest you find a Mac native app to do it. Don't know of one? Just let us know what you need an app to do. If you're insistant on using your old Windows apps, it'd be a lot easier by installing Windows. You've already got one learning curve to deal with in OS X. Learning to use Darwine is a whole other learning curve and that one is going to "require" some reading. In any case, for help with your current issue, you need to provide a lot more info. What Mac do you have and it's specs? Processor & Ram would help. Specifically, what app are you trying to install? What have you done so far? Oh, and if you have an older PPC Mac, WineBottler will not run on that machine. It is Intel only, which would be why you're getting the message it's not supported on this architecture. [/QUOTE]
