That kinda software just isn't written for the mac, unless it's the new macbook that can run window too...

i never found a solution. i dont have a mac that can run windows. run xp off of your mac and you are golden. use as a pc, and enjoy.

so, does it have to be windows xp, or does it just need to be something windows related? i'll have to check what exactly this thing runs other than osx.

thanks

why not keep your mac isntallations and simply use something like parralels or a mac version of virtualpc to run an xp installation?

First of all, you can't adjust your suspension with a datalogger.\

Second, the datalog software wont work with a Mac. If thats your only choice, run Virtual PC ( as said above) or any other Windows emulator on your Mac.

Search Windows Emulator, and you will find a bunch of different softwares that do the same thing. I dont think it has to be XP, as the stuff was made back in the 90's, but all you have to do is read what the DL software works with?

now, i don't know much about computers or anything, but downloading this windows emulator won't turn my mac upside down will it? i mean, it won't change my mac or anything else will it? basically, i just want something that i can open up on my mac, and log with

thanks guys for the VERY insightful information

imagine if you installed an application, you can open it, close it minimize it, do anything to it that an aplpication allows, but the application is Windows XP.

It wont hurt your mac, getting it setup in the first place may hurt you a bit though
