Is there a virtual pc or Windows emulator for iMac intel duo?

Hi there,
I just got a new iMac intel duo last week and its fantastic. Unfornatuly I need to run a stock market program that only runs on windows...
This is the only program that i need to run on the windows platform.
I was told to get the intel duo as it was the way things were going and that I may have to wait for the software side of things to catch up.
I currently have a workaround that is painfull, but I would like to have it all on the one machine...
Is there a virtual pc version for the iMac intel duo or are there other emulators I could use??
Desparate..
iMac intel, 2G memory   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

Thanks for the advice... does anyone else know of another product? I heard that the responce time for it wasn't good?
Whats happening with Virtual PC?? is a new version comming out??

  • Sharing hard drive with windows xp on imac intel duo core

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether I could give over anymore of the hard disk on my imac intel duo core to Windows xp? If so, how would I go about doing that?
    Thanks in advance

    At this point I think that you would need to use Boot Camp to remove the current partition and then make a bigger one and reinstall Windows.
    Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
    The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.

  • How do I install Windows on my iMac (intel based) computer

    Hi, I have all the software, Windows xp, and the parallels supporting software. The question is how do I load it onto my computer?

    Just a friendly suggestion: update your sig - it is confusing to see the G5 iMac listed there while you are asking a question about the Intel iMac.
    In your Utility Folder there's a BootCamp Assistant program. Start it up and make sure your printer has a nice stack of paper - about 25 pages if I recall properly. At the first screen once the program is running you'll have to options: Print Instructions & Proceed with the Installation. Select print and if your printer is slow, go get a cup of coffee.
    The highlights: make sure you have a valid copy of XP (at least SP2) or Vista and have your Mac OS installation disk handy, it has files you'll need once Windows has finished installing. The first step is to partition the drive - unless your computer is brand new, I recommend that before partitioning you start up with your Mac installer disk, run Disk Utilities, and repair the drive. When BootCamp Assistant partitions your drive you have to decide how much space to give it - 20GB to 40GB should be plenty unless you are going to use Windows for lots of games. Once the partitioning is finished, pop in the Windows installer and click on the install Windows button that BootCamp Assistant gives you. Now you are in Windows land and after you have entered your Windows Account name and gotten to the Windows desktop, eject the Windows disc, pop in the Mac installer, and let it install the BootCamp drivers. And finally, while running Windows, visit the Apple Support site and download the BootCamp 2.1 upgrade. There are several different versions depending on which version of Windows you are running.

  • Windows **** using parallels, imac intel HELP!

    Here's my set up:
    airport extreme firewall (dhcp / nat + reasonable passwords)
    imac intel running parallels running xp sp2
    I'm running call logging software and xp has just c**pped it's pants on me, corrupt data files and all my work is down the toilet, I have backups but not recently as I would like. But I don't know for the life of me why it happened.
    The only weird thing is that I have 3 base stations, one main, two remotes, one of the remotes - the one feeding the imac, disappeared off the network, so I rebooted the main one, and it reappeared, checked the config - it was fine and is now working again I don't know if this is related.
    1. Is this windows s**king as per usual
    2. Or is it a virus taking advantage of windows (windows is on the net through shared networking through parallels and the airport extreme system)
    3. or have a got a dud hard drive and it's about to die on me?
    Urgent help required!
    Thanks,
    Miklos.

  • Is there an external cd/dvd burner-player for iMac

    is there an external cd/dvd burner-player for my imac?

    You can simply google for that; I'm sure there'll be plenty - just make sure it specifically states that it is compatible with Mac and the OS version you are running. I've had a LaCie for a number of years; it is self powered with FW port (they no longer make this one unfortunately); here is their non-Bluray option they have now:

    (Personally, I prefer self powered instead of bus powered). They also sell Bluray burners.

  • Is there an upgrade option to Windows 7 for existing Vista notebooks?

    Toshiba are currently offering upqrades to Win 7 for purchaseers of *NEW* machines with Vista.
    What is Toshiba policy for users of *existing* machines with Vista? Will Toshiba provide an OEM upgrade/replacement route or will I have to buy Win 7 commercially?
    If I buy and install Win 7, will it invalidate the Toshiba guarantee?
    Will Toshiba support continue for a machine upgraded to Win 7, or will OS support be 'transferred' to MS? What will happen if there is some hardware problem, and MS say '+contact your manufacturer+' and Toshiba say '+contact your OS supplier+'?
    Toshiba provide a number of tools for mainainting the machine (drivers etc.). Will these be supported/available under Win 7?
    many thanks

    Hello guys
    Can we please end this never-ending discussion with some facts?
    The situation with driver support is always the same and similar by almost all notebook manufacturers. The same situation was with Vista in the past.
    Official Win7 will starts when the first Toshiba notebook come on the market preinstalled with Win7. On Toshiba support page first drivers, tools and utilities will be offered for these new laptops. In next few months Toshiba will offer more and more drivers for old notebook models. I hope you can understand that all this cannot be done over night and for all notebook models at the same time. all these drivers must be adapted and tested. It takes a time.
    The question is how many old models will be Win7 supported. This question can nobody answer but I think models produced last year should be fully supported. Lets see.
    So I think this with Win7 is clear now.
    About warranty you don't need Toshiba but just to check some threads on this forum. It is answered, I believe, 100 times. On your notebook you can install what do you want. It will NOT cancel your valid warranty. Preinstalled OS has nothing to do with warranty. You can install WXP, Linux whatever you want.

  • Versions of windows for imac intel 20"

    Moving along toward our purchase of 4 iMacs 20" -- and of course more questions. Now they are saying we have to decide which version of Windows to get.
    The question: "will the windows 64 bits work with the imac 20 with respect to drivers and such"
    Any help will be appreciated. I want my new computer -- NOW!
    Thanks!

    Windows Vista
    Thanks a lot -- I went in and read what I could find -- naturally, they say nothing about the iMacs -- are people using this as their PC system already?
    Are there any problems using it on the intel 20" that we should know about?
    Also, it says that it requires 1 gig ram -- if we're buying 2 gigs total for each computer, how does this affect speed, etc.? We're buying "parallels" so that it's easy to switch back and forth, which at least 3 of the computers will have to do on a regular basis (mine less, but still). If you're not actually using the PC side at any given minute, is it still using the ram, simply because it's "open"?
    Thanks!

  • Windows audio drivers for iMac Intel

    Hi
    I accidently deleted the Windows audio drivers on my machine. The audio works fine in Mac mode but errors out looking for the drivers in PC mode.
    My brain errors out looking for the page with the proper drivers.
    Any leads greatly appreciated..

    Thanks for responding.
    Yes, I have Boot Camp back-up CD (2 copies actually - 'Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP')
    Error message I get when I run the set-up file from either copy: "Unable to locate file Macintosh Drivers for Windows.xp.msi."
    Is there anywhere on line to download the drivers?
    Thanks again

  • Windows 7 on iMac Core Duo - Graphics card not recognized

    I installed Windows 7 along with Boot Camp drivers for Vista 32 bit.
    But my grpahics card ATI X1600 is not recognized by Windows 7 RC.
    Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

    Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.
    Have you updated the driver from AMD's website?

  • Is there a CD you can pick up for Imac as cant get past flashing question mark with troubleshooting.

    Any help would be gratefull.

    If you do not have the original OS X install disks you will have to contact Apple. They will send you the correct DVDs for that system for a nominal charge.

  • Cannot extract Window driver for MAC

    I have windows installed in my MacBookPro. The problem is I do not have Window driver for Mac. This is the reason why :-
    I created a partition of Fat32 (that was my mistake). When I tried to load Windows using BootCamp - it did not work. It is asking me to go to Disk Utility anc conver the partition to Mac file system whcih I am unable to do that. To go round -
    I have installed XP in the Fat32 partion without using Boot Camp. The problem is getting the Windows driver for Mac beucase I cannot use the Boot Camp.
    Are there any way of getting Windows driver for Mac ?

    You need a boot loader and that's what BootCamp establishes.

  • Can i install VS 2013 in my Virtual Machine with Windows 8.1 and work for Mobile Development,Mobile Emulator can work in my Virtual Machine ?

    I have a Virtual Machine with Windows 8.1 OS and 4gb RAM, 200gb Disk.
    I want to develop apps for Windows Mobile 8.1 with VS 2013 Update 4, Mobile Emulators can work in my Virtual Machine, bcz i am getting bellow error.
    Windows Phone Emulator is unable to verify that the virtual machine is running:
    Something happend while starting a virtual machine:'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB.APPUSER' failed to start.(Virtual machine ID xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxx)
    The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine 'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4inch 512MB.appuser' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running (Virtual machine ID xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx).

    No you cannot do that.  You need a physical machine that supports Hyper-V
