Hi Rian,

I think Sally Bode, was one that got xara to run on a mac. Do a serach for her name see what you find out.

Hey Rian - It's been a while.

You need to run Xara in a Windows environment. Xara cannot run natively on a Mac although there is a Mac version in the works.

So you need to have a Windows emulator such as Parallels and a copy of Windows installed on the Mac before you can run Xara.

The advantage with Parallels is you don't have to boot Mac or boot Windows, you can have both environments running at the same time.

Hi Rian

I use Xara on a Mac. I use Parallels Desktop and have had no problems at all. You will also need a copy of Windows.
