    I'm running parallels desktop 5582 on a macbook and cannot get Battle for Middle Earth 2 to launch. I've got directx 9.0c installed within XP Pro under my VM. I keep getting an MS C++ runtime error on game.dat.

    I thought parallels was supporting 3D games...I hope I don't have to switch to VMWare Fusion.

    Can anyone provide any assistance?

    Parallels supports directX 8.1

    You have to wait until support for directx 9

    Thank you for the reply. I didn't realize that. I thought that they supported directx 9.

    Happy New Year!

    Parallels published with big bang that we now support Vista ... if no DirectX 9 3D vista effects are supports, what the hack you did supporting it ???

    It's screwed up .... I would say check out with VMWare options .... I wasted $79 on this lazy company's b/s product
