I hoping someone here can help. I'm trying to run Flare 7 on my MacBook Pro and it is not working as it should. Am I doing something wrong? I have read other threads where people have said that it works for them, but I'm having loads of small issues. It kind of works but is very buggy and unreliable.
I have a MacBook Pro with 8GB memory
I'm running the latest version of vmware Fusion and Window 7 (64-bit)
I have Flare V7 with all updates.
Would it be better on 32-bit Windows 7?
Would it be better if I installed Windows via Boot Camp?
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Gareth

I don't think it is 32 bit vs 64 bit issue, because I use Flare on W7 64 bit and it works fine. Using bootcamp would definitely improve performance, because you take the virtualization layer out of the equation.

Thanks Ramon. That's useful.
I'll try BootCamp then.
Has anyone else got a foolproof way of installing Flare on a Mac? Actually not installing, using really. It installs fine.
