"Compatible with windows applications"

Yesterday I got an email AppleStore eNews which said
You already have a perfectly healthy PC, not to mention lots of important Microsoft Office files. But you also know all about Apple's innovative design and ease-of-use features. And perhaps you've heard of all the incredible things you can do with photos, movies and music by using Apple's iLife '05 creativity suite. So what do you do? Check out the compact, affordable Mac mini. It's compatible with Windows applications and even works with your existing monitor, USB keyboard and mouse. Best of all, it comes preinstalled with iLife '05 and Mac OS X v10.4 'Tiger', the world's most advanced operating system.
What do they mean by
It's compatible with Windows applications
If anyone can cast some light on this I'd be grateful.
Stuart

John,
I have 1GB of RAM on my Mac MIni 1.4Ghz. I don't have any problems whatsoever running VPC with Windows XP Pro.
As for needing 2GB of RAM, your salesman is misleading you. In VPC you cannot allocate any more than 512MB of RAM for running Windows.
I've used this version of VPC on my brother's Mac G5 Dual 2.0Ghz with 1GB RAM. On both his G5 and my Mac Mini you cannot allocate more than 512MB RAM to VPC.
Also, on both machines, VPC runs as a 686 processor running at 663Mhz. I had previously believed that the speed at which VPC ran was determined by the processor and allocated memory of the host Macintosh. This is completely false. Even so, compared to the legacy AMD Athlon-powered Windows laptop that I had previously been using, VPC on the Mac Mini offers surprisingly similar performance.
Moreover, in my experience of using VPC on both my brother's G5 and my Mac Mini, somehow, my perception is that VPC is more 'fluid' in operation on my Mac Mini. Therefore, I don't think you will have any issues in running VPC on your intended PowerBook purchase.
One last point, Virtual PC is much better in its performance than when I ran SoftWindows on my previous Macintosh 8200.

  • Latest version of firefox program is not compatible with windows 7

    After I updated the latest version of mozilla firefox in my laptop which is a windows 7 program,it doesn't work anymore. Every time I open the firefox, the screen goes black and I can't see anything on the screen but black. And when I troubleshoot and fix the problem, it says that "COLOR SCHEMES IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7". Program compatibility is the 1.5 version or 1.0. How to fix this one? I uninstalled and already installed a new one but still to no avail the problem is still the same. Should I install the older version? Where to download the older version? It seems that in mozilla firefox website, only the latest version or the 3.0 version is available.

    hello Gracerilla, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1? I got a new computer 2 months ago and have been loading in my photos and pngs slowly and tagging all of them. If I understand correctly, even though I am saving the tagging to the metadata, Elements warns me that it will not save to pngs, which is what most of mine are. As I have added about half now (about 100 hours of tagging) my computer is freezing up and will no longer open my Elements. My computer completely froze and needed tech support for several hours to get anything to work again. The tech support couldn't find any malware to explain this problem and have concluded that the Elements is not compatible with my operating system. I have not been really pleased with this computer from the start and am not totally convinced that Elements is the cause of the initial lock up of my computer. I am willing to purchase a newer version of Elements if that is the problem, but am worried I will get a newer Elements, go through the loading and tagging process and have the same thing happen again, especially if I have to retag everything I just did. I cannot find anywhere that specifically states whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1 (only windows 8). Before I go to a lot of trouble, does anyone know for sure whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1? Thanks,Donna

    PSE11 will run as a 32-bit application in W8.1-64, PRE11 will run as a 64-bit application.

  • Can Mac OS 8.6 be made compatible with Windows?

    I have one of the first iMacs (8/98) that was originally OS 8.0. It's been upgraded to 8.6 with 64mgs RAM.
    I'm starting my own business and need to be able to access MS Window-built sites that have "Audio" icons that, currently, don't work for me. I installed Windows Media Player 7, and sometimes it actually works.
    Any suggestions on how to make my old computer more compatible with Window's applications?

    In this case, your problem is not Mac and Windows compatibility. It's the old technology (your Mac OS 8.6 software) that won't play the media created by the newer technology (whatever you're finding on your website).
    Keep in mind that computers are not appliances. A toaster, for example, has a specific function and will always do that function until its hardware falls apart (my parents had one for 15 years). But a computer's functions can be altered over the years by upgrading and updating the operating system and application software.
    In your case, you have old hardware too. You can do a few of things.
    1. Your hardware will easily support upgrading your operating system to Mac OS 9. This OS is old too and no longer made, but you can find it second-hand online (Amazon.com) for about $35-$40. Then you can download the latest versions of Windows Media Player and Real Player for Mac OS 9.
    2. You can buy a new (brand new or a couple of years old) Mac laptop, which will be compatible with just about everything you'd like. It will also be compatible with future software updates and upgrades for a few years to come.
    3. You can buy a new (brand new or a couple of years old) Windows computer to ensure 100% compatibility with other Windows computers.
    The bottom line is that you just need something newer. I suggest looking into the Mac OS 9 upgrade first. It's the cheapest potential fix for you. But it's not a guarantee.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Is Adobe Premiere Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8? Or maybe it will have problems?

    Is Adobe Premiere Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8? Or maybe it will have problems?

    Riccardo Pesare
    I have Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, and it runs well there.
    But, I must disagree with SG when he writes
    It will likely run. But it will not be able to take advantage of Windows 8's advanced architecture (including the 64-bit operating system and ability to access more than 4 gigs of RAM).
    You can prove to yourself that Premiere Elements 10 is a 64 bit application running on Windows 8 64 bit. To do this use the Process Explorer Sysinternals and add a Image Type Column readout. When you do this for Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the readout tells you that you are working with a 64 bit version.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
    And, as a 64 bit application, Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 Windows should be able to take full advantage of the 64 bit system when Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    I suspect SG is thinking Mac not Windows in his comment. It is my recollection that Premiere Elements 10 Mac is still a 32 bit application on 64 bit system. And, you are using Windows, not Mac.
    We will watch for his clarification on this point or for support for what he posted as is.

  • Is Adobe Illustrator 8.0 compatible with Windows 7?

    Is Adobe Illustrator 8.0 compatible with Windows 7? It will not install automatically and when I try to manually run the setup exe I get an error message.

    mcalomeris,
    At least according to this website, you should be able to run older applications/versions in XP mode in Windows 7:
    http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/reviews/2010/01/windows-xp-mode.ars
    Here is an excerpt:
    Virtualizing the problem
    With Windows 7, however, Redmond has provided a solution to the problem: Windows XP Mode. Windows XP Mode uses virtualization technology to let applications running on a virtualized copy of Windows XP show up in the Windows 7 Start menu and on the Windows 7 desktop.
    Windows XP Mode is a downloadable add-on for Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise. It has two parts: the virtualization software itself, and a disk image containing a pre-installed, activated, licensed copy of Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 preinstalled, complete with the glorious Internet Explorer 6.
    The virtualization software is the latest iteration of Virtual PC. Although you wouldn't know it from the download page, this is available for any version of Windows 7 aside from Starter. You wouldn't know it, because selecting a version of Windows other than those previously listed removes the option to download Virtual PC. It shouldn't, though; it should only remove the option to download the Windows XP Mode image.
    The download link is here:

  • Is RoboHelp 7 compatible with Windows 8 64-bit?

    Is Robohelp 7 compatible with Windows 8 64-bit?

    Hi Waltw1207,
    I use the original Technical Communication Suite (FM8 + RH7). With all the necessary patches installed, it worked perfectly for years on XP. This is not the case on Win 8 (64-bit). I tried everything to get it working in the new OS environment - but to no avail.
    My solution was to install an Oracle VM VirtualBox. I set it up as follows
    -  4 CPUs (I have an i7 in the PC)
    -  4GB RAM
    - Windows XP
    Then I installed the TCS in this VM environment. It works brilliantly. No more problems with FM and RH, plus I can run other 64-bit applications on the host machine.
    Hope this helps
    P.S. If you decide to go down this road, remember to deactivate your application before you install it in the VM environment.
