Sorry if this has been answered...

I can't get ForScan to open on my MacBook Air M2.

Running:
Windows 11 via Parallels

Installed ForScan
Changed to Safe Emulation


ForScan still will not open...acts like it's trying to, and then nothing happens.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
FYI if you're still struggling with this, I had the same problem and it finally worked with the following settings.

Very strict multi-core operation

Very strict execution

That's pretty neat but out of most people wheel house tech wise.

Considering you can get a cheap windows tablet with USB to plug n play for about $100 or so.

Respectfully, if you have certain tech already - and you're someone who has purchased the dongle, it does work.

As we detailed on our channel, It's possible if you have parallels. You must make sure you set the app to work in compatibility mode.

I understand not everyone has the same tech-level, but you do need to be comfortable with a fairly high level of tech to use Forscan ;)

Yes this is very true but adding even more technical hurdles such as trying to make a program designed for one OS to work on another and throw in vmware on top of that is just a bit too much to ask most people.

Personally I've done all of the above and even with my decades of computer experience it can be a bit daunting when it's not something you do everyday.

If that were the case, they likely would've never clicked on the jargon filled title anyway 😂😂

Good point lol. as I've gotten older I find my self paying for finished product more often than my younger days, I remember writing ini files to make games that didn't support peripherals like force feedback work etc... Those were the days. I still build my own computers though.

Now I find my time is worth more than money in more ways than one.
