How to use windows programs

how do i run windows programs like counterstrike or other random windows applications on my macbook, do i need to download any software? if so, where?
thanks

You have a few choices. Boot Camp from Apple is free and here is the info. You have to boot from boot camp to run windows. It cannot be running at the same time as OS X
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303572
The other is parallels. It is not free but has the advantage of running at the same time as you are running OS X. There are still some issues with USB drivers but thye are always working on it. It is not free but worth the cost in my opinion.
http://www.parallels.com/
I use both to run windows. I use bootcamp for some of the windows games I have that won't run under parallels. I use parallels to check formating and other web based info in internet explorer. I can make a change in my editor and view it easily in windows without having to reboot.
If you are adventuresome there is another option.
Crossover allows you to run a windows program from OSX without windows being installed.

It works good on a lot of programs but does take some technical knowledge to get everything going good.

  • How to use window programs on mac

    im new at using mac and would like to download a program online, that is only compatible with windows.
    what do i need, and how can i get the program to work on my mac?

    windows programs will only run in a windows environment, and Mac applications will only run in a Mac environment.
    To do what you want, you need to install a windows environment on your Mac like parallels;
    http://forums.parallels.com/
    and then install into it, a windows OS like XP, and then you can run your windows program; which seems a lot of trouble to me, but you can do this.
    On the other hand you could just buy a windows laptop, or find an application (that's what Macs call programs) that does the same thing that is written for the Mac.

    How to use (to program) a Scheme in Xcode?
    i have been using Aquaemacs (GNU emacs) with Guile extensions. but i really would like to do all that in Xcode. is it possible? thanks.

    I believe that Scheme is not a language natively supported by Xcode. Maybe there is a way to write a plugin for it, but I don't really think so and in particular I haven't seen one for LISP or Scheme.

  • How to use the program RHMOVE30

    Dear Gurus,
    One of our consultant has created organisation structure in one client of development system and wants to transport the same to another client in the same system and also to another system Quality.
    Came to know that by using program RHMOVE30 it can be done, but can anyone tell me how to use this program, I mean what are the inputs to be given and how to get the transport request.
    Regards,
    Sharath

    Hi Ali,
    Yes, normally transports will be moved from DEV to PRD and hope the same configuration is there in u r setup. But if you want to move the transport from PRD to DEV there is a way, but for this you may need to open the client restriction in u r production system (which is not recommended or u have to do this when no user is logged on to the production system).
    First make changes in the client settings for enabling transport request generation and execute the program RHMOVE30 and give u r inputs and generate a transport request. Once the request is generated it wil create two files(cofile and datafile folders) in trans folder (/usr/sap/<SID>/trans or <drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\trans)
    Based on the request number copy the cofile and data file from production system and paste it in the same path in development system. Then login to development system from SAP and go to the import queue of development server and then choose EXTRAS->OTHER REQUEST->ADD and this will add that request to development queue and u can transport it normally.
    Hope this clarifies. Award points if helpful
    Regards,
    Sharath

    Hello Expert,
    My Config is : -
    Forms [32 Bit] Version 11.1.1.3.0 (Production)

    I want to use the java programe in form builder. I create the one java class in Jdeveloper -

  • How to use windows environment variable "%appdata%" in TEXT_IO built-in

    Hello Sir/Madam,
    I'm currently using TEXT_IO built-in package to write data file user's "C" drive in Oracle Forms 6i on Windows XP OS. We are in the process of upgrading the OS to Windows7. This new version does not allow to write to "C" or "D" drive. I was wondering how I can use windows environment variable "%appdata%" in this built-in to write the data file to user's AppData folder?
    I would appreciate your help.
    Regards,
    Vani Sonti

    You are obviously not familiar with the architecture of webforms. See here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/275632-133265.pdf
    I guess you are running your forms locally, so the forms server and the client run on the very same machine. This won't be the case once you run in production, as you will have an application server and clients connecting to the server.
    text_io, tool_env and all the forms built ins will be executed on the machine the forms runtime runs on, and in a 3 tier architecture this is the application server, not the client as the real client will run just a java applet which actually just does what the forms runtime on the server tells it to do (or passes client side events like mouse clicks to the forms runtime on the server).
    A very simple explanation for the architecture would be that the whole GUI part has been ripped off the forms runtime and put into a java applet; the logic part (the old-fashioned forms runtime) where the whole Forms PL/SQL code is executed communicates with the GUI part (which is implemented as a java applet) via HTTP, so there is no need to have both running on the very same machine.
    So if you are writing a file with text_io on c:\dummy.txt this file will be generated on the application server machine as it is executed where the forms runtime runs. If you read environment variables with tool_env.getvar you will get the environment variable from the application server machine.
    If you need those variables from your application server then those built-in packages are what you need, but if you need the real client variables there is no way around java in webforms 6i. But the beans should be simple enough to have them written within no time ;)
    cheers

  • How to use shell program parameters in java program??

    Hai all,
    I am writing a java program which must read strings from a file and must assign to variables.these strings are nothing but the output of ls -l command in shell. i need to have all those 9 fields in a file as variables.
    I cant find any method that will read only string.I came accross read line but that is not what i need.So, i thought of writing a shell script and by using awk, storing those 9 fields in 9 variables.. but how to use that variables in java programming???
    the shell script is executed by exec() but i need that variables also.
    Help me please:(
    thanks in advance

    i now changed the code... and closed the output file and then i read.Later i splited with the line i read.. but the same happened...
    this is the code:
    while ((l = inputStream.readLine()) != null)
                        op=new FileOutputStream("op.txt");//output of exec goes to this file
                        String[] cmd= {"/bin/sh","-c","ls -l "+l};
                        rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                        proc = rt.exec(cmd);

                          StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new

                        p=ip.readLine();
