Intel Mac

[Veronica2]

I have just this moment installed PTE on my new Intel mac via a small bit of software called crossover.

I do not have to run windows at all.

Although I have had PTE for a year or two I have not used it for a very ling time so am looking forward to having a go on the Mac (another learning curve.)

I just wanted to share this, maybe useless information with you and to see if anyone else is using the program on a Mac

The only problem at the moment Ken is having found my registration I don't know how to register as Macs

do not have a registry.

I am not running Windows on the mac. also very new to the Mac but if I can run this and a couple of other programs without putting windows on I can give my PC the Boot so to speak

I think I may have given tech support a headache

Thanks for the reply

Veronica,

If you are using one of the 'New iMacs' in fact you are using Windows but you don't know it ~

All the New iMacs run a variant of a Program called "Parallels" ~ you know it as "Crossover"

and it invoke's a "Virtual Windows Op.System" allowing Windows Programs to run quite happily

on the iMac's. The Intel Mac as you call it is in fact an Apple Mac and newer versions are iMac's.

The Intel Corporation purely make the Microchips for the Machine.

Reg Key:-Open the PTE Program Folder on the Mac and drop your Reg.Key into it.

That could be good news for PTE. Editors seem afraid to go with any book on AV when they don't run on Macs

Please keep us posted

Brian I tried that before I read this reply

but it has not registered.I am using the new type of registration which you copy into the registry

I was about to try the old one which I have found on my PC It installs itself;this may not work of course.

I have not heard back from tech as yet

Thanks for the info I am very new to Macs but love it

Hi Barry

I Love all your Tutorials and your latest has got me wanting to get back in to the program again and to be able to use it on the Mac and PC.

I think if I can manage to register it then it I can work at it for longer

Veronica,

I believe your name is Yvonne ? ~ as a matter of course we on the Forum tend to use our real names

rather than our Handle Names, now concerning the Reg Key, try this:-

On your Windows.PC find "Notepad" it will be listed in the:- Start Button-->Programs-->Accessories

-->double clk on Notepad, when it opens go to File-->select Save As-->give it a name-->Regkey.

Now get your Reg Key from the PC, highlight the entire string of characters, RH.Click the highlight

and select 'Copy'. Now open Notepad Regkey, RH.Clk anywhere within it and select 'Paste' from the

drop down Menu....Now the Regkey is within the Notepad.....'Save As' again.

Now transfer this 'Notepad Regkey' into the (Mac) PTE Folder (make sure you are in Windows mode)

close the PTE Folder, now close down the Mac, now Start the Mac. (Do NOT use Restart)

Example shown in the "Attachment" below ~

This should work ~ if not you need to contact Igor in WnSoft.

Veronica,

There is an alternative RegKey 'technique' I use from time to time when I change my Laptops.

I have 3 Acers which I use as 'cross-transfer' PC's ~ these are used for swopping and testing

and changing Data and Programs on Site with Irish railways. One of these is running '98Se and

is my most reliable Laptop for Data Files but it is an absolute 'so-an-so' to load anything on to it.

In my case I copy the entire (working) Program Folder from my 2000 or XP on to a Memory-Pen

and transfer that entire working Folder over on to the '98Se Acer including the hidden Files.

I shut-down and then Re-Start and everything works on the Re-Boot.

Just a thought, It might work for you....

Well after all the excitement PTE does not work properly in as much when one tries to do a preview you just get blank pages animating the way a Mac does.

Maybe someone with more knowledge will resolve the problem at some stage as I would and maybe others like to be able to use this great bit of software on the Mac without installing windows in full

Thanks for all the help

Veronica,

Sad to hear that you have given up with PTE on your Mac PC. If you know anyone near you who is

running a Program called "Parallels" you might like to contact them concerning Windows Operations

on a Mac PC. By the way you can not 'Load' a Windows Operating System on to a Mac PC as

you wish "per-se" ~ the reason being that both the Firmware-Bios and methology of the Op.Systems

are as diverse as chalk and cheese ~ The Mac being a Unix/Linux System and Windows is Windows.

However if you wish to pursue and contact those who have succeeded with Windows/Mac interfaces

here below are 'Links' to the Parallels Software Community ~ they also offer a Free Trial:-

Parallels Software Link:-

Parallels Forum Link:-

These 'Links' will be of great help to you in getting to know your Mac and its great powerful Utilities.

Best of Luck,
