How to open .exe files?

.exe files are DOS/Windows executable files, applications so to open them you need to install Windows via either Boot Camp else a product like Parallels or Fusion.

Right now you are using Mac OS X as your operating system and this requires programs/applications that are specific to this OS. .exe files are specific to Microsoft DOS/Windows operating systems and you require that to open these programs.

To install Microsoft Windows on your MacBook Pro you will need to either use Boot Camp…

… to install Windows else you will need a product like Parallels…

Either way, you need to install Microsoft Windows XP else Vista onto your MBP before you can open a .exe program.

levusia,

You will need to buy a copy of Windows XP or Windows Vista to use with Parallels.

What is the Windows .exe program you are trying to run? There may be a Mac version you can use instead.

Levusia, there may be a short-term solution in Crossover, which will allow some individual Windows programs to run in a virtual environment without the need for a full Windows installation. It does not work for all and certainly may not be suitable for any critical operations, but it might help in a situation where there is no OS X equivalent to the program.

Okay, I have instaled WINDOWS XP. But I can not use XP programs on MAC, or maybe I can, but dont know how?

No, you can't run Windows apps under Mac OS X. There may be a Mac version of the program you're trying to use, but we can't tell as we don't know what program you're trying to run.

I can switch between systems, but I can not see MAC files on WINDOWS XP. So what else do I have to do?

You can use an application like MacDrive to let Windows XP see your Mac partition.
