Just installed darwine 0.9.10 on osx 10.4.5, nice and easy. Was looking in my downloads folder on windows drive looking for things to try, and what do i find?

 

GenuineCheck.exe

 

The program spits out a code that microsoft website uses to check if you've got a valid install of windows before letting you download some software (Windows Defender is one app that needs validating before downloading for example)

 

IT WORKS

 

The program ran, gave me a code, I put the code in MS site and it happily let me download windows defender, interesting huh?

 

Neat trick. It probably works because of the fact that Genuine Check will always pass if you run it on other versions of Windows besides XP or 2003.

Poser 6 /with service pack 2 works. OSX 10.4.4 on ASROCK 915 Dual setup. As usual it starts and runs pretty slow like Macromedia / Dreamweaver and Adobe CS products.

 

More details : hardrive has 10.4.3 on partition 1 and 10.4.4 on partiion 3. Partition one was salvaged from running replace.sh script by accident can now log on etc. Poser would'nt run from 10.4.3 where it's installed but runs from 10.4.4 by accessing app on 10.4.3 .

 

 

 

PS

 

Waiting to see the new AMD notebook cpu specs before buying Macbook or new laptop, as true 64bit is probably the way to go --- MAN.

IS THERE ANY GOOD PHOTO VEIWER LIKE ACDSEE. I tried ACDSEE for mac but counldn't download it as no seeds were available. If anyone has ACDSEE for mac working please create a torrent and mail me. address given below

 

Toast Titanium works and even burned a dvd data successfully.

MS-Office 2004 works great (all apps)

Camino works great.

 

Safari had problems with shockwave, so Camino works great. Why use IE even in a Windows system. Use Firefox. Firefox for mac didn't work for me but it's cousin Camino is great.

 

Yahoo Messenger for Mac works fine, except that you can't do anything with the preferences. It just stops if u choose preferences.

 

vlc ppc version works fine though with sluggish framerate. I guess it's coz of my i845 graphics.

 

Windows media player9 works fine but can't play VCDs and DVDs.

I have Guitar rig 1.2 installed and running, to use keygen.exe,

 

first run on Windows XP or somthing to get install code for Guitar Rig,

 

On OSX run registration and enter key.

 

Then press copy to clipboard, then paste it to a plain text doc and save it to a usb, or email it to yourself

get it on the windows machine.....

 

Open text doc on windows and ctrl c, copy to clipboard, then past in to keygen.

 

keygen will then put the new code in clipboard automatically.

 

Paste back to text doc,,,,

 

Then swap to mac,,,,,, copy new text to clipbaord then paste into main boxes, 10 of them....

 

Then It will say Guitar Rig Registered....

 

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS NOBODY HAS A SOUND INPUT WORKING (Microphone)

Hi all

 

As a GIS Pro I normally test a GIS app first ....

 

OK, tested ESRI's ArcEXPLORER Java, works fine but that's just a viewer ...

 

So I tested the usual thing I test on Linux Distros: GRASS GIS.

 

The OSX 86 version (here) is really something else! ;)

 

As far as can be seen all works OK and 100 times easier than the normal X11 "Only" interface. Well done to the folk that did the "Aqua" OSX interface. Nice!

 

Try it if you need a Public Domain GIS!

Ok, here's the story. I'm a OS X totall n00b so if anyone knows a way to take care of this situation, please let me know. I installed Adobe CS2 and it ran fine, for a while. Later on, I went to open a pdf file and it just crashed. I get the spining rainbow colored cursor and it won't go away, I pressed the reset button and when I restarted, everything was messed up and the system kept on locking up with the little rainbow colored cursor. There was no way whatsoever to get it to function normally again, it wouldn't even respond to command+option+escape, (force quit) just kept on doing the same thing. Since, like I said, I'm a total n00b, I "restored" OS X. I've done it twice. The first time was because M$ Excel was doing the same thing. Is there anyway to avoid this? Is there a way to fix this crashes without having to restore the OS? Please, very please someone let me know. I'm afraid to install anything else and have whatever application lock up the system and have to start all over again. My guess is that maybe some font is locking up the programs as they try to install...is that possible? If it is, is there a way to get rid of those fonts? Are there some fonts known to cause trouble with some applcations? Thanks in advance!

I dont think this is really the right forum for software questions, but... Have you made sure to use the sse3 kernel? (you can verify this in system profiler) It might be a rosetta incompatibility.

Sorry, I thought that since this is about applications working and not working it would be fine. I appreciate your help. Please let me know which would be a more appropriate forum to ask. But yes, I thing I have used it. Is that the patch you select when installing OS X? or is it something you add later? I know I selected it when I installed... thanks a lot gwprod12

well, it doesnt look like it's an issue of SSE3 or OS version. I havent tried to use Acrobat myself, so I really dont know what the problem might be.

 

Does the OS seem to stutter a little bit, like on the dock? If the dock doesnt operate smoothly, it could mean your system is unstable. That happened to me, until I set CPUS=1.

I'm really sorry to keep on asking but, how do you do that? (Set CPUS=1).

in com.apple.boot.plist. This is a problem I've had with my pentium d 805 (which I havent figured out how to solve yet). When in two cpu mode, the system stutters a lot and programs crash constantly. in CPUS=1 mode, everything's extremely smooth.

How do you edit this file?post-43528-1154276168_thumb.png

Ok, got it. Now, how do you make this CPUS=1 entry?

Where it says:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string></string>

 

put CPUS=1 in between the strings... like...

 

<string>CPUS=1</string>

 

it's worth a try anyways. Just make sure you dont misspell anything, cause it could cause a KERNEL PAAAAAAANIC!!!

Can it be reversed in case I don't notice any improvement by just deleting "CPUS=1"? Do I restart after I add it?
