[QUOTE="phake, post: 1211710, member: 197071"] [b]Yes you can! :)[/b] Hi Railroadbill, Though it would be annoying you would be able to install creative writer 2 on your mac. But ... 1. You will need to buy / trial parallels to run windows xp or similar (will take a while to setup). Parallels lets you run windows applications / features on your mac however it is Emulated (making it slower) OR 2. Setup bootcamp on your mac (Will also take a while) Lets you run windows natively on your mac (makes things run proper speed) Downside: you have to restart when you want to swap between windows and mac. (kind of negates the point of a mac if you are constantly in windows) apart from of course its pretty exterior. Best of luck. :) Also. Just noticed a far better post on the same topic: [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/running-windows-anything-else-your-mac/114239-running-windows-mac-switchers-guide.html"]114239-running-windows-mac-switchers-guide.html[/URL] Unfortunately you cannot just run it. :( [/QUOTE]
