I'm attempting to run PWI on my Mac via XP but am having a slight issue. The game looks great, even better than it does on my Dad's HP desktop, but...how do you move the camera?...


On a slightly unrelated note...it's mentioned here that VMWare Fusion could be used to play PWI with but I don't think it can. Maybe but I tried it already and it was awful, actually bad enough that it wasn't doable. I asked around on Apple and elsewhere and basically a virtual machine doesn't have access to everything it needs and that it's better to just run Windows natively. Just thought I'd throw that out there. ^_^

    What kind of mac is it? With a laptop I know that to right click you put two fingers on the trackpad and then click, but you'll need the Apple drivers that come on your OS X install disc. As for a mighty mouse, just click on the right side of it. Even though it looks like one button, it isn't.

    Macbook Pro

    For some reason, I can right click on my desktop just fine using two fingers. But in game, it doesn't seem to work.

    I play on a macbook pro as well, but I got a wireless mouse for it, that's my suggestion. I don't think I'd be able to play as well on the trackpad. You can get a mouse for pretty cheap at a radio shack or best buy, either wireless or a USB.

    I 2nd the external mouse/trackball option. On any laptop, the trackpads are a pain for playing games.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?
