Probably because you haven't installed drivers for windows which works on mac hardware

yeah, most likely, you would need some graphic drivers or maybe .Net Framework or something like that...

It said after the test It done, "you cannot play GTA IV on your computer" because i use 64mb drivers i guess, so now the solution to buy new drivers? or install drivers? if install,

how to? and where?

On-topic: I though i could install drivers but its okay
On-your-pics:

I totally agree with you and I have a Dell PC, but its totally broken ( it got burned ), and I cant afford to buy a good PC now because I'm saving for a new apartment, anyway its okay, I don't need to play cryer; I will focus on programming :D

Thanks

hehe ok ^^
I'm not sure, but I do not think you can install graphic drivers (like nvidia) on a mac computer... I mean like if it's possible, you still need to order a new graphic driver, open your mac, replace it with the current one and then pray to god that it'll work ;)
