I have managed to get it running on my Macbook pro 2.2 Core 2 Duo. A little sluggish but it works and renders o.k. thought a little lengthy. I had to relocate all the materials manually. Thanks for the guidance 
Now on my PC, I think the problem is the video card.
I have an i7 2.2ghz, 4gb ram, 9600gt video card.
I have turned of third buffering, lowered to 16bit color, antialias off and lowered the resolution to 1440 X 900 and now my screen is all multicolored and is acting funny.
Is there anyway of fixing this, or assigning more ram to the software. I look at my performance in the task manager and its hardly using much memory or processing power?
When it renders, it produces a blank screen on the render window.
What I do not understand is, the 9600gt is a better card than what my macbook pro core2duo has.
Why does the Mac run O.K. and on my faster PC it has problems.
Any helped thanked!
