Can You Play Pc Games On Mac Using Parallels 7
I recently bought a Macbook pro 13' 2,3Gz processor (latest 2011 version) and I am using Parallels desktop 6 on the computer with windows 7 x32 installed. I didn't want to use boot camp because then I have to restart my computer every time.
I have now installed Mirrors edge and when I'm trying to do that the following error-message pops up:
'Failed to create DXT texture. This game requires DXT support. If you have manually disabled it, please re-enable and try again.'
I have tried to search various forums for help but I cant find a solution that solves my problem so I can play the game. Since I am not sure what information about my computer you need or how to find it you can probably find the specifications on apples website. I think i have an integrated graphics card in my processor Intel core i5 2,3GHz Sandy bridge and the name is Intel HD Graphics 3000. But when I am looking for the specifications when in Parallels desktop it says Standard VGA graphics adapter.
I have also tried to look for the latest version of DirectX but I am already using the latest version and also tried to download graphic card drivers (though I am not sure if I did it correctly)
What am I supposed to do to get this game working? I am counting that my computer will match the game requirements since the game is from 2009. I would be very happy if you guys could help me!

With Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac and later you can play Windows games that require DirectX 11. If you upgrade to Parallels Desktop 15 from earlier versions, DirectX 11 will become available automatically in Windows after installing new Parallels Tools. Play many favorite games including: Madden 19.
