first of all, thanks for a great product and keep up the good work.
My issue is this: As ADC member, I got access to the latest Snow Leopard 10.6.0 (build 10a432) which is supposed to be the GM build.
CrossOver 8.0 does crash on 10a432 everytime, right at the double-click on the app icon.
This occurs 100% of the time, reproducable.
On 10.5.8 (build 9L30) it works like a charm.
I just wanted to bring this to your attention but most likely you already know this.
CrossOver 8 runs fine in Snow Leopard, BUT, You need to install Apple's X11 in Snow Leopard. You are given an option during the initial install for it. You can also add X11 by running the Optional Installs from the Snow Leopard disc.
@vaillajo: It is known that no version of CrossOver prior to 8.x will run on Snow Leopard.
You will need to correct your download issue and get 8.0. You can try Option-clicking on the download link, or Control-clicking and selecting Save Link or Download Linked File. If neither of those work, you can try downloading a demo/trial copy of CrossOver 8 -- maybe that will work better -- and then you can register that copy using the same email address and password that you use to log into your account on our site.
just tried crossover mac games version 7.2.2 on snow leopard, and this one doesn't work either, even with x11 installed.
is there an update coming any soon?
edit: never mind, wrong forum... sorry for offtopic^^
When I downloaded Solaris and tried to install I get the following error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.)
I have also installed Snow Leopard Build 10a432 with the full version of COG 8 and it still won't run, even with the Apple X11 install.
Edit: I wish to make a correction: I had installed COG 7.2.2 in a non-standard location and the icon in my dock was linked to that. COG 8 works just fine.
I tried to download the last version I am entitled to (7.0) : it doesn't launch with snow leopard.
I understand that the advice is to upgrade to the next version : but as I only run Quicken 98, I don't need any upgrade but a fix.
My other way is to switch to another accounting package.
What should I do ?
(Apologies for the poor english of a frenchman)
Alain, you'll need CrossOver Games 8.0 for Snow Leopard. Apple decided to break compatibility to old Applications in Snow Leopard(I think the problem is that in some circumstances it loads a 64 bit library into a 32 bit app, which doesn't work). We worked around this problem in 8.0, but we do not plan to backport this to the 7.x cxgames series. CrossOver Games 8.0 also has a number of workarounds for graphic driver regressions - so even if the other issue didn't occur, cxgames 7.2 would run rather poorly on Snow Leopard.
That is really crap support for those of us that paid good money for the last version. Think I will switch to parallels if I am going to waste any more money to get pc programs to work on my mac (or get an old PC working). The program only worked for a couple of applications and at that not very well. I am Not a satisfied customer, how about some support for the guys that pay your cheque every month (you know the customers?).

i would love to see YOUR site, that has as many customers and questions as codeweaver's site. it's not our fault we can't answer every single question, but hey we try, and for 1, don't you always read before you buy a product, thats why they invented trials, also how do you expect the Codeweaver's team to get EVERY program you want to run good? you don't.
they go for the bigger products and the bigger games, so they don't lose money rather than actually gain it.
I think Ari's note is a little deceptive; I don't think he's mad about our responsiveness, which is how most folks think of support.
I believe he's upset because he purchased CrossOver in 2007, and now he's upgraded to Snow Leopard, and CrossOver no longer works.
And he's frustrated that it wasn't working well for his programs.
Ari, please note that this is not an official or best support location. Your best bet to get some joy
is to write in to sales@codeweavers.com and explain your issues and ask for help. In other words,
give us a chance to help you. If that doesn't work out, then you can get mad 😊.
Cheers,
Jeremy
p.s. If you bought Parallels 3.0 in 2007, that version doesn't run on Snow Leopard either.
I'm afraid Apple really caused a world of hurt for a lot of software makers...
I have spent over four hours trying to get Codeweavers 8 to work with Snow Leopard. Nothing has worked. This is soooo frustrating. I get "Error: 339" It is missing "CPWCTL32.OCX".
If you're getting that error, then CrossOver itself is working. It's just, apparently, that the Windows software you're trying to use isn't working.
That's not a Snow Leopard issue, I don't think. It's a garden-variety question of CrossOver's compatibility with a given piece of Windows software. If you haven't already, you should try to find the Windows app in our Compatibility Center.
