Roggie Rog Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'd like to ask the experts their opinion of running Watchout 5, 5.5, and/or 6on a MacBook Pro via Bootcamp. I'm referring to the control computer only. Yes/no? If not recommended, please state why. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 All should work just fine. Running a MacBook Pro under Bootcamp essentially turns it into a fancy PC laptop. There's another older posting of mine that describes how you can keep both 5 andf 6 installed on the same computer. ( WO6 and WO5 on the same computer ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator jfk Posted October 6, 2015 Moderator Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Bootcamp is no different than any other Windows computer, for best results, you still want to follow the Windows_7_Tweaking_list_2.1.pdf Other than that, Bootcamp drivers appear up to the task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly can not run the Mac platform and bootcamp at the same time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the problem comes from file name change that occurs when downloading in MacOS 10 Safari. Please see here for the simple solution: 5.2 installation issue (MacOS) BTW I recently tested under MacOS using Google Chrome and FireFox instead of Safari, and both work correctly, this is a Safari specific issue. but no matter, its easy enough to correct once you know what it is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
