How do I get firewire support under XP running on OSX 10.8.2?

I have an old Nikon film scanner that is bundled with Nikon scanning software that requires Windows XP.  The film scanner has only a firewire cable.  My iMac is running OSX 10.8.2.  I installed Oracle's (free) VirtualBox and was able to get XP running on my mac.  However, I soon discovered that VirtualBox has no firewire support.  That sent me searching for other methods of running XP under OSX.  I thought Apple's Parallels 8 software would do the trick but I don't believe it supports firewire either.
Can anyone give me an idea of what software would allow me to run XP with firewire support under OSX 10.8.2?
Another question:  Do those firewire-to-USB adapter plugs work and are they safe to use?
For those who have familiarity with film scanners, VueScan is not a desirable option for me because it does not fully support Digital Ice, while Nikon's software does.
Thanks..

It also works with Mountain Lion.

    The usual cause of that issue is a corrupted or missing font that Firefox replaces by another, in this case a bold, font.
    As a test you can try to disable the default font and choose a few different fonts (Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman) to see if you can identify the culprit.<br />
    you will have to reinstall that corrupted font.

  • Hello, I have MacBook Pro with Retina display. How can I get retina support to my Adobe Acrobat pro? It is version 10.1.13 and it says it is up to date.

    Hello, I have MacBook Pro with Retina display. How can I get retina support to my Adobe Acrobat pro? It is version 10.1.13 and it says it is up to date.

    Problem is that my pdf files look terrible although I have MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014). I have Adobe Creative Suite Design  Standard version 6.0 (Mac). I have installed every possible update. I think problem is that for some reason my CS doesn´t support retina display? If I view a pdf file in iMessage, it looks fantastic. But if I open the same document in Adode Acrobat Pro, it looks awful. What can I do?
    Thank you so much for your help.

  • How do i get PCL5 support for P1606dn printer windows 7 64-bit

    how do i get PCL5 support for P1606dn printer windows 7 64-bit

    The full solution, off the product page, is the recommended solution for this product. It works for most windows applications and installed by default.
    The PCL 5 UPD driver only works for the 1606 models and is recommeneded for general office printing and 3rd party or custom software programs.
    The XPS print driver (off the prodcut page) is recommened for capturing and printing exactly what is on the screen.
    When you install the UPD driver, I would recommend that your install it in the traditional mode instead of the dynamic mode. Just my preference. This way you don't have to wait for it to search for the printer everytime you want to print.

  • How do I get Flash Player 9 to run?

    I have an old PC that won't support Flash Player 10.  I've downloaded the Flash Player 9 zip file from the following link on Adobe.com and have unzipped the file.  Now, how do I get the Flash Player to "run" so that I can view streaming videos?

    That's helpful, thanks!  I checked a couple of applications, and it works nicely.  However, I still can't see vids on 4shared.com, like this one:

    Any ideas?  (I've contacted 4shared.com, and they suggested using a different version of Adobe Flash, which I now have done, but I still can't watch the vids there).
    Thanks.

    how do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (just one web app, or video- instructions, or just safari). What I really want is that my customers to only use one app that has all my services. It is an interactive app so I would not like them to go surfing elsewhere while they are in my store.
    Is it possible to do this on the iPad ?

    I liked to turn off running programs without a window that I was no longer using
    thanks.
    Best I can do now is to open the "force quit" window and click on programs I want to stop and then send each one a "command-Q" and then repeat as necessary

    Command + Tab is what you are after i think

    How do I get u-tube videos to run smoothly.  They stop and start and jump.

    Sounds like they are buffering because your internet speed is way to slow.
    To check your internet speed, go to: > Speakeasy Speed Test
    or > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
    Plus you can also check your internet speed using the Activity Monitor, which is in your Utilities Folder.
