How to Install Biochemistry by Voet

Cenoura · #1 March 7th, 2008, 12:41 PM

I tried to install "Biochemical Interactions version3.2 by Voet & Voet" for windows and mac and I can't install it. Every time I try to do it, it tells me that " you cannot open this application because it is not supported on this system". And when I open a page on the internet with some images and interactive exercises it says "This page has content of an unspecified MIME Type. because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can't be displayed." I don't know what to do. Thanks

What is the version of your system, and what system does the program require? Can you link the website that you are referring to? If this is an older program, it probably only runs on OS 9.

Is this what you have?

# Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc; CD-Rom edition (August 4, 1999)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 047132714X
# ISBN-13: 978-0471327141

If so, unless you have an old Mac capable of Classic and/or OS 9, you likely won't get it to run on the Mac side. You may be able to get whatever Windows emulator is relevant to your Mac and run that way.

Good luck.

Technically it is possible to run OS 9 on an intel mac, but it's not easy:

Probably would be better to run Windows through parallels. You could run it through Classic on Tiger with a PPC mac.

well that must be it. I have a mac os x and that cd rom but it is an older edition (mine is from 2004). Thanks!
