Hi there. I'm using a G4 iBook. Is there any way I can open a .exe file without having to buy and install Virtual PC? I need it to run some software for my class and it's driving me nuts. 
You could try another emulator that is cheaper than VPC, but basically no.Macoltrane said:Hi there. I'm using a G4 iBook. Is there any way I can open a .exe file without having to buy and install Virtual PC? I need it to run some software for my class and it's driving me nuts.![]()
I'm using a 1.33 ghz iBook. Can anyone tell me where I can find this emulatorScarlet Fever said:you could buy a macbook
What is the specs of your iBook, and what kind of .exe are you trying to open? If your computer isn't powerful enough, and your exe is too complex, there wouldn't be any point in using an emulator.
Very safe, they are like normal applications, the window's part could get a virus but it wouldn't affect the Mac side, we should know what application you want to run, as Applespider said there might be a Mac/Unix version after all, which would run better...Macoltrane said:Can anyone tell me where I can find this emulatorand how safe it is to use?

so i need a copy of windows on here b4 i can use software cds that are only for windows?Macbooks are intel.
Macbooks can run Windows.
If you have an Intel MacBook (well...the MacBooks are Intel only...), you can use BootCamp to dual-boot into Windows. You will need to buy a legit copy of Windows XP, or Vista (on a MacBook, I'd recommend XP).so i need a copy of windows on here b4 i can use software cds that are only for windows?
cuz i own "the ipod killer" the creative zen vision m. and the cd wouldnt run on my macbook. the .exe wouldnt be recognized either.
