If your only doing it to play games every now and then a virtual machine is the best bet.

However I would seriously look at steam or a game for the mac from apple etc so you don't have to spoil it :signLOL:

I had a similar problem with windows 7 pro on bootcamp. Iirc I had to boot windows in safe mode and then force the apple software update to get it all to work.

Search apple help pages as you have to download some software from them and copy to usb pen drive. this then installs all drivers needed to complete set up. it worked for me

Anyone looked at this?

Ideal for running Windows Apps on a Mac if you absolutely have to.  :happy2:

Saves having to dual boot or run vmware/parallels.
