With OOTP9 I used Parallels for a while to run a PC version of the game on my Mac. Game speed was decent. But invariably, I'd get a couple of seasons in and the game would freeze. When I rebooted, without exception the file was corrupted and lost.

Perhaps this was a glitch in parallels. Perhaps it had something to do with the memory on my machine (though you'd think 2 GB of RAM is plenty). Perhaps it was something with OOTP9. Whatever the case, the point I'm getting to is that I'd advise backing up EVERY TIME you quit out of the game when you play it on Parallels.

When OOTP10 came out, I just bought a Mac version and said to heck with my previous efforts. Now if I can ever get this Mac licensing issue permanently addressed, I'll be a satisfied customer.
