DON'T post your phone number on an international forum. Or really anywhere for that matter.

And don't expect to to play a highend windows game in bootcamp on a mac. We can't even begin to help you without you're system specs but I can't imagine it going well

What Mac are you using? Also, what version of Windows do you installed via BootCamp? Depending on the Mac you have, you should be able to run most Windows games while you booted into Windows. Not a big deal.

If you tried installing in OS X and installed the game on the bootcamp partition, you did it wrong. You install Mac games via OS X on the Mac partition. You install Windows games while running Windows to the bootcamp drive.

^This and on top of that, dont get your hopes up, not all programs/games work in bootcamp.

Bootcamp just allows you to install Windows on a Mac, essentially a dual boot PC. If the Mac hardware meets the minimum hardware requirements of any Windows product, it will run said product. I have 2 such systems and they run everything. What specific apps are you aware of that won't work with Windows/Bootcamp?

My mistake, I just googled it, I was thinking of WINE

It is all cool. Thanks for the follow-up. You are right WINE has many limitations. Still a useful tool as long as those limitations are understood.
