Hi fellow list members
I have recently installed VMWare Fusion and Windows XP Pro, in order
to begin explore the other side of my iMac. So far, so good, except
for one minor problem - recognition of the graphics card. I guess that
as the graphics card is part of the hardware, then Windows offers
little assistance in the way of emulating hardware.
Has anyone on the list got the same software installed and working,
and if so, do you know whether there is a way of getting PC programs
to recognise the Mac's graphic card.
I have a game installed, which is compatible with the operating system
(Windows XP), that will not execute. I contacted the game's developer,
and he told me that it was not loading because it didn't recognise the
graphic card, however if I could find a work-around, it might work.
His bottom line, however, was that the company did not support the use
of their (PC) games on Mac's.
The specs for the game are: Processor: 1.6 GHz (minimum)
2.8 GHz (recommended)
Windows: XP/Vista; DirectX 9.0c
RAM: 512MB (minimum)
1 GB (recommended)
Video Card: nVidia GeForce3/ATi Radeon
8500 (minimum)
GeForce 6600/ Radeon X1300 or
above (recommended)
Not compatible with all
integrated sound/graphics
solutions including laptops.
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible
sound card
Other: 2x CD-ROM drive,
750 MB hard disk space (minimum)
1.5 GB hard disk space
(recommended).
The specs of my iMac are: Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
OS: Tiger 10.4.11
RAM: 4 GB
Graphics: ATI, Radeon HD2600 Pro
Sound Card: Unsure (I can't seem to
locate this information)
Other: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K06A (DVD
Drive)
About 760 GB of hard disk
space (currently free).
Any support or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Regards
Rosie :-)
Im not sure about VMWare Fusion, but with VMWare Server and VMWare
Workstation you have to install VMWare-Tools in order to get advanced
features. If there is such a thing in VMWare Fusion have you installed it?
