Hello,
on my MacBook Pro these settings are not working! (OsX 10.5.4 Parallels 3.0 Build 5608)
At the moment MoI is the only reason to work under bootcamp :-(
Is there anybody with VMWare2.0 (supporting DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 2) experiences?

Best regards, Rossi

Hi Rossi, I have not tested it myself but I have heard from someone that VMWare with DirectX support was working for them.

I'm not sure why Parallels is not working for you when it has worked for others, maybe it has something to do with different video cards between the other person's system and your MacBook Pro.

I still have had no luck as well with mine.

Hello,
i had read on several web pages that Parallels 4 (coming soon) will contain full support of DirectX9.
I hope that all problems solved with the new Parallels version.

Hi there,

just installed Parallels 4.0 and Windows XP/SP2 on a MAC OS 10.5.8 and, what can I say, without any additional adjustments MoI runs as fine as it does on a regular Windows computer.
So far so good and because I haven't tried the whole functionality of MoI yet, I'll report any trouble in case there will be some.

Hi ,

I'm running MoI with parallels 3 without problem, i'm beta testing parallels 5 right now,
and MoI is running faster on 5.

Check is you are on the lastest parallels 3 release, and i believe you have to unchecked
hardware directx or something like that under parallels configuration, try many video setting
you will make it works


A+

PSS: check update under help menu

I've got a MacBook Pro and have able to run all versions of MOI under Parallels 3 and 4. The big difference I found was that under Parallels 3 I could never get out of the 4 Window Mode (Top, Perspective, Front, Right) and go to single Window Mode without crashing. Parallels 4 fixed that and I've never had a problem with it since upgrading some months ago. I would strongly suggest going to 4 unless 5 is just right around the corner. I think an upgrade is something like $39 or so. I think Direct X 9 is supported under Parallels 4 so you can play a number of Windows games if you're into that.

Good luck.

FYI

I'm running Moi through VMWare with no problem.

Mac + VMware = Moi fun.
