I think you will need to install Bootcamp and then install XP or Vista on a partition

Some of the guys here have it working but one didn't:

Hi there,

Phoenix on Mac no problem if run in parallels.
The older version of parallels seemed to have trouble with the video card interpretation. Loaded newer version (Parallels desktop 4) and then windows xp per the on screen instructions, then Phoenix - works a treat!

Enjoy.
Bill.

One problem, I think because I have only 10.4.11 I cant install bootcamp. I think that it requires 10.5 but I will do some research

Sorry, I am kind of confused. Are you saying I need to install "parallels desktop 4"? If so where can I find, I will do some research in the meantime. Thanks

I'm running OS 10.5.7.
I had parallels 3 and Phoenix would not run as there was a problem with the video driver.
I downloaded parallels 4 from the web and installed with no problems.
Then loaded up XP, also with no problems. Then Phoenix.
It was good to have something associated with windows that seems to work well!
Good luck. Bill.

Jake,
Glad it's up and running....and on Vista too! Much less painful to break things on Phoenix than in real life, though not really sure how accurate and true to live the Phoenix is.
Currently here in Singapore and checking out prices of 450s tonight.
Good weekend for flying maybe?

Cheers,

Bill
