Help me Please!!! How do I download .exe files successfully.

I have an iMAC with Tiger 10.4.11 (intel chip) and was wondering if I can execute .exe programs now? I thought the whole reason it was good to get the Intel chip was because it would allow me to run windows programs. Granted I need to be REALLY careful with doing that because it opens me up to viruses but can I do it? I've downloaded my employers software program but I can't get it to execute as my system is stating there is not an application available to use to open it.

Thank you for the help.

Hi Llana110, and a warm welcome to the forums! 🙂

Besides the Link above, you need Windows & either of these...

Then about a grands worth of protection Software! 😉

Thank you for the post BDAqua. Now that I know how to do it I just need to decide if I really want to open my system to the possibility of viruses. I'll need to think about that one awhile. But you at gave me the info in case I decide to try it. Thanks

Not possible. They are, as you say, Windows executable files and will not work on a Mac - unless it has Windows installed.

What type of application is it? Maybe there's a Mac OS equivalent.
