so vmware cant support games?

Oh, I'm not 100% sure, but that would be the first place I look at. have you tried to reinstall the games?

[afk1337]

vmware can run pc games...

i haven't tried to reinstall, because i don't see the need to. i installed them with all the necesssary software/hardware :(

There is no 3D acceleration in vmware. You can run games, yes, such as solitaire. Not Half-Life 2.

If you have an Intel-based Mac, you can use Bootcamp to install Windows XP on another partition.

wow... god damn gay...

isnt vmware just a virtual os?

[soulslicer]

you should consider dual booting. just google it, it's quite easy to partition your HD and install xp

Is your Mac intel-based? If it is, like I said, try Bootcamp.

Or maybe there's a Mac version of Wine?
