Trouble installing a game...

Hi I am a new mac user and do not completely understand how the system works yet, but I am hoping that somebody could help me out here. I am trying to install Starcraft on my computer. I insert the disc, click "install" but it brings up a window that says "You can't open the application because the classic environment is no longer supported." Is there something I need to do in order to make this work? Perhaps my system is too modern?
Help would be appreciated, I'm no good with computers. Thanks.

There is a Mac OS emulator called SheepShaver that you could try - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - but it is fairly complex to set up and requires a ROM image from an older model Mac such as a Mac 512, SE, etc. It is not known to be very stable.
Another is Mini vMac which emulates a Mac Plus. Not sure what version of Mac OS it requires nor if Starcraft would run in the emulator. Many games such as Starcraft may use undocumented hardware calls that simply don't work with emulators.

    HAVING TROUBLE INSTALLING A GAME CALLED WORLD OF WAR CRAFT 3

    If you're talking about WoW, it's already playable in Lion, just download the latest version.  If Warcraft 3, as I said, it's probably never going to be updated by Blizzard at this point.  It's a very old game and would probably not earn them enough to be worth the expense.

  • Having trouble with py-game install MacPosts

    I tried to install py-game using sudo post install py-game but when it tried to make the py-game the failed with exit status 1. The problem was parse errors and other format errors in the include file in /opt/local/include/SDL/SDL_syswm.h. Does anyone know how to get pygame installed? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Having your code all spread out like that makes it difficult to read... But based on what is shown, it almost appears as if you have all of that code nested into a conditional statement.  Is that the case?  I would not nest a function definition in there.
    From what I can make out, by itself that code will only execute once, so are you doing anything to make it execute "over again"?

  • How can i install windows games in my macbook pro

    I m a game lover but since i've macbook pro,i haven't played any game on my macbook...so guys please tell me how can i install windows games to my macbook pro.

    As eww said, that computer isn't specifically made for gaming. To get advanced graphics in a game, your computer needs what is called a "discrete" graphics processor, or GPU. This means a seperate chip that processes graphics. In Apple laptops, these are only found in the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. It is not common to find these in laptops in general that are not expensive and high-end. What you have in yours is an "on-board" or "integrated" GPU. This means that graphics processing is done by a small portion of your main processor (the Intel i5 board). This takes away a portion of primary prossessing and dedicates it to graphics. This works perfectly find in most scenarios, but video rendering, gaming, and 3-D graphics tend to suffer. Most high-end, modern games require discrete GPUs to run at full quality these days.
    As far as running Windows 7 and Mac OS both, yes you absolutely can. If you install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (this would require you to have a Windows 7 CD), when you turn on your computer it will default to opening up in Mac OS. But if you hold down the Option key (bottom of the keyboard next to the Command button) while the computer is booting up, it will ask you if you want to open Windows or Mac OS.

  • When I try to access the Apple store to install a game on my Iphone3g, another person's email address comes up on the page that asks for my password. Has someone hacked my account? It won't accept my password because it's someone else's ID!!!

    When I attempt to install a game on my I phone 3g, another person's ID (email address) is on the little box where it asks for my password. It won't accept my password because it's not my ID. How can I get this person's ID off my phone?  Have I been hacked or something??

    Just sign put of that account and into yours.
    This is covered in the manual:

    None of the games currently sold on the iTunes Store are compatible with the Touch. In June, there is scheduled to be an update to the Touch software (at a cost) that will allow you to add applications. The iTunes Store will then be selling applications that can be loaded onto the Touch.

  • Trouble installing 2.1.1 for ipod touch generation 1

    I am having troubles installing 2.1.1 ipod touch software on a gen. 1 ipod touch. I am using an IMac G5, itunes 8, OS 10.5.4 and the process of updating in itunes has frozen with the blue candy stripe bar spinning as it says "preparing iPod software for restore."
    The ipod is black with an white apple and a spinning wheel.
    It's been about 5 hours.
    What should I do?
    Cheers.

    Just found some info on apple support.
    Updating your iPhone and iPod touch to iPhone software 2.0 or later for the first time
    Software updates prior to iPhone software 2.0 updated the device without affecting your settings or media content. Updating your iPhone and iPod touch from iPhone software 1.x to 2.0 or later includes a back up, erase, and then restore of your device prior to installing the new update. iTunes will offer to create a one-time media backup of your device depending on what content is on your device and what content is stored in the iTunes Library you are connected to. You should ensure that you have enough free space on your Mac or PC to accommodate a backup that matches the capacity of your iPhone or iPod touch (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB) if you proceed with the this backup.
    As a result of this comprehensive one-time media backup, this process can take some time. The amount of time, is determined by the amount of data on the iPhone or iPod touch.
    7 hours and counting. Stay tune. Maybe by tomorrow morning!

  • Hello i am having trouble installing itunes 10.5 on my laptop i have windows vista. it says error 7 windows error 998. i now have no itunes. i have tried to uninstall itunes but it still wont work and keep coming up with that message. please help!

    hello
    i am having major trouble installing itunes. i had itunes working fine and i went to update it as it told me there was an update which i thought i did. i went on my laptop the next day and it said "itunes was not installed correctly error 7 windows error 998"
    i read a few articles on here but i am having no joy. i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and that did not work. i also unistalled some other apple things cant remember the names sorry!
    i am not a whiz on a computer so really need some help please!!

    Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
    Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
    Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
    I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
    itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
    A search of these forums will show some threads.
    I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
    I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
    Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
    Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

  • Trouble installing shared printer on windows 7 64 bit

    hey guys
    i recently got a IBM thinkpad with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    we have a HP Laserjet 3015 thats shared on windows xp profesional computer.  i am having trouble installing it on my comuter. if i connect the printer to my computer via USB, windows finds the drivers and it works.
    The problem is when ever i try and insatll it over the network it does not work. i can search and find which computer it is attached to and see it in the shared printer list, but when i ever i try to connect to it says connecting>>searching windows update>>cant find drivers. it gives me the option of searching for the drivers to install. i have downloaded the drivers thats on the HP site but they dont help. when ever i select them in the manual it comes with an error saying driver not found then gives u the option of installing it your self. when u select the driver it says windows can not locate a suitable driver.
    how can i get around this ??

    Try the following:  On the Windows 7 computer go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a new port, Local port, Next, \\xpcomputername\lj3015 (where you put in the actual share name of the computer and printer), OK, Windows Update (and wait for the list to repopulate), HP Laserjet 3015 PCL5,  Next, Next.

    Hold down the option key and select
     ▹ System Information...
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, select
    Hardware ▹ USB
    from the list on the left. On the right you should now see a list of all connected USB devices, as well as some built-in components. Is the device shown?
