Does anyone know if this CD will run on a Mac? Thanks, Mike.

but you need to run that autorun.exe to access the pages unless there is a way that you can that i dont know about?

i would say that easiest way if you are mac only is to just get parallels or some other emulation software and run it that way

Just find the "main.html" file on your mac and double click it.  Works fine on my macs like that.

you might also consider installing parallels for your mac for the few times you might need to run windows on it.  I'm very impressed with parallels.

I'm not happy with Parallels myself.  I think it slows the machine down big time.  I'm running it on a Core i7 MBP 17 inch with 4GB ram.

One question, does anyone have the spare parts catalogue show up in Italian when they click on it?  The manual shows up in English, but this does not.  I've had some times when I needed the exploded views for reference and I had to go on the internet and find it instead.

I give presentations to schools several days/week and since most of them are PC based, I just carry my MBP 13" and run parallels.  I run every software you can imagine through it for trainings I do for schools and have zero issues or complaints with parallels.  My boss is funny, she actually runs parallels all the time and uses windows rather than her Mac OS, because she's more familiar with it.  I'd say something is not quite right with your install, your computer or your parallels settings maybe.???
