Can anyone help me out. I have a program called arcworks and it shows up on my desktop as an icon with the title of D11v25a1.exe. I can't figure out how to open it to save my life and i have to use it for school. Fuck me for being computer illiterate. 
Can any one please help me?? Thanks ARnutt |

Maybe you should have bought a PC instead. If it's an Intel Mac, but into Windows and open it there. Flame suit on for mac user's wrath.

You cant' just copy the exe file from a windows computer to a mac and expect it to work.
Is that what you did? |

Thanks ARnutt Ooops, bought a Mac to run with the cool crown for school, except that OSX won't run the software you need?  Better get Parallels and a copy of XP or Vista. |

OS X cannot run Windows programs.
Before dropping the $$$ on Parallels, try Virtualbox. It's an open source virtualization program backed by Sun. You will still need a valid Windows license. For the time being you can download Windows 7 Release Candidate from MS for free. |
