Want to run a windows game (Medieval 2:Total War), do I have to spend £100 on windows?

Want to play a windows game on my mac!, but do I have to spend a figure of £70-£100 on a windows installation disk to do so via Bootcamp???

There is software to run Windows apps that has not been mentioned on this thread.

  • I have had itunes with 32 bit and windows xp for several years. I now have a new pc with windows 7 64 bit. When I try to load iTunes 10.6.3 for my system I continue to get a message at the end of loading that the download was interupted and was not change

  • I was wondering if the entry level 21" imac would be ok for playing games like the total war series on a medium setting, or am i better off spending an extra £250 for the next 'level' of imac? Thanks

    I am not worried about playing on ultra or high or anything, I am happy with medium settings.
    Thanks for your time.

    Yes, it should be adequate for your needs.

  • I i want to run many-to-one replication scenario

    Hi,
    i want to run many-to-one replication scenario and for that i have created two tables and inserted values on source db and one table on target db in which i want consolidated data from those two tables. Below are the table details,
    Source DB,
    CREATE TABLE GGS.CLIENT_INFO
    ( CLIENT_ID varchar2(10) not null,
    CLIENT_NAME varchar2(50) not null,
    CLIENT_ADD varchar2(50),
    CONSTRAINT CLIENTID_PK PRIMARY KEY (CLIENT_ID)
    CREATE TABLE GGS.ACCOUNT_INFO
    ( ACCOUNT_NO varchar2(15) not null,
    BANK_NAME varchar2(50) not null,
    CLIENT_ID varchar2(10) not null,
    CONSTRAINT ACCTNO_PK PRIMARY KEY (ACCOUNT_NO)
    alter table GGS.ACCOUNT_INFO add CONSTRAINT FK_CLIENTINFO FOREIGN KEY (CLIENT_ID) REFERENCES GGS.CLIENT_INFO(CLIENT_ID);
    Target DB,
    CREATE TABLE GGS1.CLIENT_ACCOUNT_INFO
    ( CLIENT_ID varchar2(10) not null,
    ACCOUNT_NO varchar2(15) not null,
    CLIENT_NAME varchar2(50) not null,
    CLIENT_ADD varchar2(50),
    BANK_NAME varchar2(50) not null,
    CONSTRAINT CLIENT_ACCOUNT_PK PRIMARY KEY (CLIENT_ID, ACCOUNT_NO)
    when i start replicat process, it is giving below error,
    *"Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle, CLACTDEL.prm: OCI Error ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("GGS1"."CLIENT_ACCOUNT_INFO"."CLIENT_NAME") (status = 1400), SQL <INSERT INTO "GGS1"."CLIENT_ACCOUNT_INFO" ("CLIENT_ID","ACCOUNT_NO") VALUES (:a0,:a1)>."*
    Note: i am inserting two source tables data in one table which at target side using OGG capture-replicate process.
    Please help to resolve above error.
    Regards,
    Shital

    For one, do not use the GoldenGate database user as your source and target schema owner. Why? What happens in a bidirectional setup? To prevent ping-ponging of data, operations performed by the replicat user should be ignored. That's what keeps the applied update on a target being re-applied on the original source, and then being captured and sent to the target, etc.
    Without knowing your setup, what did you do for ADD TRANDATA and supplemental logging at the database level (only needed for the source)? What did you do for initial load and synchronization? What are your parameter files?
    The error shown so far - cannot insert null - applies everywhere in Oracle whenever you try to insert a record with a null value in a column where a NOT NULL constraint is present. You can see that for yourself in a SQL*Plus session and trying the insert. You are inserting two column values, when your own table definition shows you would need at least 4 values (to account for all of the not null constraints).

  • I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window I was working on.  I have to click on the Window tab, but my window is ticked but not appearing. Why?

    I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC, to copy and paste something for instance and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window/worksheet I was working on.  I have to click on the Window tab in excell for instance, but my window is ticked but not appearing. I then have to click on one of the other open files and then click back to the sheet I was working on for it to appear.  Can any one tell me why?

    Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
    When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though.

  • The active browser window that I use is constantly de-activating and I have to click on the window in order to navigate, type or do anything. It behaves as if I have clicked on another window to use even if it is the only window I have open.

    Seems as if there is a set amount of time I have to use a browser window and when that time is up, I have to click on the window to use it again. Very aggravating. May not be a firefox issue, but I can't pin it down.

    Hi username availabl,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If windows and menus on your computer are unexpectedly "losing focus" every few seconds, there are a few steps that can help isolate or resolve the issue.
    First, try booting your computer into safe mode:
    Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
    If things are working normally in safe mode, this usually means OS X is fine, and the issue is caused by conflicting software in your user account.
    Next, see if the issue occurs in a new user account. The steps in this article also apply to creating a new user in Mavericks:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If the issue persists in safe mode and a new user, I would recommend reinstalling Mavericks:
    OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

    Best Regards,

  • Can I partition an external hard drive to run windows games on my Macbook Pro

    I want to play windows games on steam but I am not sure if I want to partition my Macbooks hard drive. I heard you could partition external hard drives but didn't know if you could run games on that external hard drive. I have a lot of files on my computer and don't want to take time to move my files to the external hard drive, so can I buy the external hard drive and then partition it to run window games or do I have to partition my actual default hard drive?

    Hi! If your macbook doesn't have a cd drive you need to have Windows 7 but an ISO image, you can't just copy the contents of the copy into a USB and expect it to work. There are many tutorials on internet on how to obtain an ISO image from an installation disc, for example: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/software-tools/a/create-iso-image-file.htm As for "just download Windows 7" (i suppose you mean free download) this is not the right place to ask, believe me. Try searching Windows 7 ISO on google, but be careful with what you download and form where, also you are going to download the Windows drivers from the Bootcamp program, try reading this manual to give yourself a better idea: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf

  • Running Medieval Total War 2 on windows xp home ed via bootcamp on mac book

    Hi...i have a macbook with os x 10.4.6, but im not able to have medieval total war 2 running on bootcamp 1.4, windows xp home ed.
    it reported that theres an unspecified problem and program will exit now.
    i read from other random forums outside apple that i maybe able to get the game working by upgrading the patch to at least v1.2. Prob is i cant even install the patch. it reports that there is no existing version of medieval total war 2. and that the patch requires a previous version.
    so next, i tried v1.1, and to no avail as well. in fact, v1.2 is supposed to have 1.1 accompassed in it in the very first place. its stated in the official totalwar web that we are supposed to upgrade from 1.0 straight to 1.2. theres no requirement to do from 1.0 to 1.1 and next 1.2.
    so i like to enquire how to get medieval total war 2 running on mac book with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. need to install something special? or like upgrade something?
    thanks !

    Good morning,
    First of all, you are running an outdated version of Mac OS X which could contribute to your problems, please perform a system update to the latest build of OS X (10.4.10) to insure your MacBook contains the latest security and functionality updates.
    Also, you may have more luck contacting the manufacturer of the game you are trying to run, or Microsoft, as Apple does not currently provide any support for Bootcamp or Windows Applications running under Bootcamp. Many games do not run optimally on the Intel GMA 950 so you will need to contact the product manufacturer for further support with their product.
    Good luck! 

  • Hi guys i used boot camp and turned my mac into windows and i wanted to play a pc game on the windows and i cant find a proper program to actually setup the game someone help me please

    hi guys i used boot camp and turned my mac into windows and i wanted to play a pc game called guild wars 2 and i cant find a proper program to actually setup the game

    Only if you decide to share with us your particular situation. Guild Wars should install and run like any other Game. Other than the Game Installer, Games don't need some other installer to make them work. Only someone who reads the instructions for the proper installation.

  • Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. Anyway, i deleted windows and want another OSX on there instead. How do i make this partition bigger please??

    Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. I deleted windows after i realised i wasnt enjoying using it at all and wasted my hard drive. I now decided that i want another OSX on there instead yet i have only allowed myself 10 gb on the partition. I have ben thru some programms but am struggling on making this partition bigger.
    I only want it at 20gb but cant seem to make the partition bigger, only smaller or split it into further partition.
    Is there a way to do this, i have all installation discs from original OSX so think this could help.
    Any help please would be fantastic.
    Thanks Chris

    Hi, dragging the partition will only make smaller, not larger. In disk utility you can only split or make smaller the partitions. Yes i booted from installation disks also but still no help.
    And Brody, I am willing to erase the disc completely, infact jus started doing a backup in order to do so but that failed also. And the information you gave on partition a hard drive, Although very simple and i already know how to do this, but it wont let me make the partition bigger, and i dont want to make a new partition, just enlarge the one i already have, which i dont see possible from disk utility.
    Getting really frustrated now, even backing up is saying no to me. **** external being a douche.
    I dont mind erasing the hard drive but surely this must be doable without deleting the secondary partition back t a single volume, and re partitioning into 2 volumes again.
    Thanks again

  • If I want to run OSX Server and also want to run Windows 8 on Boot Camp, will server still run when I boot into windows?

    I want to set up OSX Server on my iMAC running Mavericks and also install Windows 8 on Boot Camp.  If I do this and boot into Windows, will that prevent server from running while I'm in Windows?

    No.  Bootcamp, as you've described, requires rebooting into your chosen operating system.  If you want to run both OS X and Windows at the same time from your hardware, look at virtualization tools like Parrallels or VMWare.
