Running Best Case on a Mac?

Best Case cannot run natively on the Mac; However, Best Case will function on an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo based Mac running Windows through:

  • Boot Camp® www.apple.com/bootcamp/ Please note that as of November 2007, Apple no longer offers Boot Camp as a separate product. Instead, it is included with each Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard® operating system for no additional charge.
  • Parallels Desktop® for Mac www.parallels.com/products/desktop

Additionally, you will need the following items to run Best Case on an Intel based Mac:

  • A two-button USB mouse
  • Anti-virus software
  • Windows 7, Vista or XP installed
  • Adobe Acrobat® Reader® (free download at www.adobe.com)
  • A licensed copy of Microsoft Word 2000 or higher and/or Corel WordPerfect 2000 or higher
  • A scanner (must be TWAIN compliant, and you must install the Windows scanning software to use Best Scan)
    • Note that there are several Windows emulators available for Mac. Our staff is currently testing other programs that mimic the Windows environment on the Mac. Other emulators will be added to the list of acceptable Windows emulators when testing on them has been successfully completed. In the mean time, if you attempt to run Best Case on one of these untested systems, you do so at your own risk, and we will not be able to provide you with technical support.
