To play SA:MP, I needed to get the windows version, then the SA:MP client, both installed with wine. Now, unfortunately, I can't play it because of the "800x600x32 video mode not found" error. I realize I could use an adapter to plug an external monitor up to the mac, but I can't seem to find the right one. I have an HP monitor. Is there any other way to play? I would be immensely grateful to anyone who could take a few brief moments to either explain an alternate solution, or confirm that an HP monitor is the best and only way to resolve the 800x600x32 video mode error. A few more details... I really only want to play SA:MP with some friends. I have the option to have 800x600 screen resolution on my computer, but to no avail. My computer specs are... Processor: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory: 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Player Hater Group: Members Joined: Jun 1, 2012	Ok, I just tried using bootcamp, but I'm getting errors all the way through. It's saying that some files cannot be moved, and I have absolutely no idea what that means. This is very aggravating, so I want to thank you guys again for helping, and please share if you have any solutions.
