[SOLVED] COD 4 won't start. XP on MacBook

zijin_cheng · 08-08-2008, 04:23 PM

Another question. My friend has a core 2 duo 2.1ghz, 2gb ram and a 512 7800 card. He has a macbook and is running xp sp2 on it. COD 4 doesn't even start. the splash screen doesn't come up. Why?

last time i checked macbook ram isnt compatible with windows. Im surprised you could even get xp running.

well if you're running a virtualized version of xp you can do it! I've heard it runs mac in background with xp in the foreground. With that said I don't see why you can't get COD4 running with some special software.
Yes, I think it will be using quite a bit of memory cuz of the mac OS in the background but shouldn't be more than 1 gb of ram
