Hi there....sorry, your question is vague--are you asking if anyone else is experiencing any type of trouble while running Windows on the Mac or are you asking if everyone is satisfied with running Windows on the Mac?\n\nConsider visiting and joining the free Apple Discussion forum: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  You will be able to search and learn more about Windows on Macs under the Windows Compatible Technology section.

First off, open the program that's causing the problem and go to it's preferences and look for the option that says start with windows, or something similar.  This is the best way to do it.\n\nIf that doesnt work, goto the start menu, run, and type msconfig.  On the last tab is startup, uncheck the programs that are giving you the problems.

There isn't. Mac OSX is entirely different from Windows and there is no chance the download would work on Windows. Plus those programs are mac exclusives so there's no PC Windows version either.

I guess it all depends on what you wish to use it for...\n\nI've had many different computers in my time, and by far the most impressive and one requiring the least maintenance has been any of the newer Apple machines with Mac OS X operating system, ie MacMini or iBook/iMac.\n\nThey're very compatible with Windows machines, MS Office is available, but so is OpenOffice which supports MS document formats if you wish to have a free alternative.\n\nOS X machines are also not susceptable to viruses or hacks in anywhere near the magnitude of Windows machines, so are far more stable and secure at present.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I love MS Windows & PCs, but Macs have really changed my perception of what a computer can be. \n\nHope this helps\nMJS

Yes ofcourse.\nThere are emulators that can do that.\nBut all of them are in development stage and therefore not reliable.\nSo there is no official Mac emulator for windows.\nBut there are other Mac softwares that are also available for windows.\nLike iTunes. Use them if u like.

It may be possible that your Windows get corrupt. Try reinstalling it.

I definitely prefer Mac OS X over Windows. It is more stable, has virtually no viruses or spyware and more pleasant to use.

Well, you could buy a program called VirtualPC. VirtualPC emulates Windows (any version you want) and you will be able to run any Windows (PC) program on your Mac. Since you actually are running another operating system on your computer, you will be using some hard drive space, RAM, and ROM.

If you intend to use software like NORTON, make sure (on the package) its compatible with MAC/OS X. \n\nIf you would like to run windows applications on a MAC you cant, unless you use this new application from APPLE known as BOOT CAMP, which runs windows on a mac.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/\n\nHope this helps!

Apple Support is a better place for this question: \niSight Forum http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=802\niMac Forum (select your model) http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=132\nAnd the main page has Windows compatibility categories also http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa\n\nGood Luck!

you can get osx to run on a dell or an amd. I got bored and its running on my work pc which is a dell and its also running on my xBox. you just need to be not a noob. but honestly if you just switch to mac you will fall inlove. Trust me i switched about 19 months ago. I am an A+ certifed technician my last pc was an AMD 64 FX 53 with 4 gigs of ram and 1 terabyte of hdd. i loved my windows but needed a mac cert for my new job so i got one thinking this will suck. i sold my pc 6 weeks later. mac is the only thing i need its so much nicer

Do you have a mac or a PC? if you have a mac it simply wont work.

It depends on what you want to do. Windows machines are good for games, productivity, etc. Macs are good for video, audio, photos, etc. But macs can run windows now, because they're based on intel processors.

Adobe programs work best on macs.  But they do fine on Xp as well.

There's this guy named Dave Taylor who operates a help website that's pretty decent.  This link might give you the help you need:\n\nhttp://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_install_windows_xp_on_my_mac_using_boot_camp_1.html\n\nplrr

Make sure you have a gig of RAM, it uses a lot of resources.\nDefragment the hard drive and run Ccleaner.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com\n\nIf that fails, then contact MacAffee; you paid for the program they should give you support!
