    I have a MB Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and I am using Parallels to run Windows XP Pro. I have 2 video cards: NVIDIA 9400M / NVIDIA 9600M GT. I am trying to play a game Star Trek (windows only) on my Mac. Every time I boot the game up and log-in it starts to boot the game up then I receive this error: Failed System Specs Check please choose an option to continue: Run with lower graphics settings / Run with Default settings. Whichever I choose it starts to load up the game and when it gets half way my Mac just freezes and I have to do a hard-restart to regain access. I went to the NVIDIA site and tried finding the drivers to download for the Windows side on the computer but I get another error: The NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit.

    Any ideas how to get this to work? Thanks

    Hi AFPoster,
    when running Windows in Parallels Desktop virtual environment, your physical video cards are not used - Parallels Desktop emulates video card. Star Trek Online is currently in pre-release state and has not been included in our testing efforts. Appropriate request has been already made; thank you.
