#429655 - 05/24/09 04:20 PM Crossover question
MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 16629 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	This option was discussed in another thread about MLS. I'm curious about Crossover and the possibility of downloading IE 7 or 8 to use with it - except M$'s IE download page crashes FF on my Mac. I notice that Crossover states that you can install Windows software from a CD. Does it require an install CD, or can it be done with a downloaded app/installer? _________________________
