[QUOTE="cfpendock, post: 1318566, member: 220876"] My 3 year old macbook pro (OS Leopard) ran XP very well but died due to logic board failure. I was advised to buy a new macbook pro, having been informed that it was possible to run XP on it - I use corel draw 10 (which was very expensive) for design work and it doesn't work on windows 7. My new Macbook pro runs lion (10.7.2), and I have managed to load XP by first partitioning the disk by pretending I was loading windows 7, then running XP installer to replace the windows 7, this worked but there are no drivers for XP. I also have tried parallels which works, but the graphics are not good. I have two questions: 1. Can I improve the graphics performance by reducing the mac activities while running XP in parallels? 2. Where can I find drivers for my new macbook pro which will work with XP? [/QUOTE]
