What is the .net Framework? Does my computer have it?

The .NET Framework is a software framework fromMicrosoft. Explorug depends on this framework for many of the tasks itperforms, so the framework must be installed on your computer for Explorug towork.

It is entirely safe to install the .NET Framework on yourcomputer.

Can I run Explorug in MAC ?

Since Explorug requires the .NET Framework andInternet Explorer to run, Explorug cannot run natively on the Mac. However,there are several ways to run Windows on a MAC.

If your Mac han an Intelprocessor and the Leopard Operating System, Boot Camp (built in) supportsinstalling and running Windows directly. See here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html fordetails.

If it is not loaded with Boot Camp feature, but still has anIntel Processor, iemulator, http://www.iemulator.com/getiemulator.php might be suitable.

In other cases, you can run Windows on Parallels or VirtualPC. Once you have Windows running on your Mac, installing and runningExplorug is straight forward.
