To me, Apple has always been the Cadillac of computers.  It doesn't get you there any sooner, but it impresses your neighbors.  Many of my family and friends would disagree.  How old is the Mac?  How recently has its operating system, and Windows 11, been updated? Occam's Razor suggests that the miscegenation of Mac and Windows is the cause of a problem that few other people report. However, many other users succeed in running the program on a Mac, so there must be some special circumstance with your situation.  Is this the only computer you own?  Are you thinking of buying a new one anyway?
