iMac VP Software Question

#1

VPW does not run on Mac.

However, you can get a software program to run windows
program on a Mac and thus run those VP programs.

      To LVAers, sorry for the repeat post but I had zero responses so far.

I even emailed Bob Dancer about a week ago and have not heard back, either I

used a wrong email address or he's traveling.

You guys are my last hope :slight_smile:

What are you iMac users, using for video poker software ?

My favorite is VPW and Frugal Video Poker. I'm seriously thinking of buying

one next week. Does VPW and Frugal Video Poker run on iMac ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

Lolly

The best program by far is called Parallels, and runs about $80. Your mac needs to have an intel chip for it to run, along with enough memory to handle it because it will slow down your computer. I use it daily on my mac since the customer database software I use is not available for macs, plus I do run FVP software on it. But yes, going to a mac store is a good idea since you'll need to find the right mac to run a program like this.

To run VPW (or Frugal) on an Intel-based Mac you have to install Microsoft Windows on your Mac (not exactly inexpensive!).
