Windows Bootcamp Drivers Trouble

My Windows Vista Drivers that I got for my MacBook Pro from the installation disk have bad audio drivers. The sound on the speakers is too low, and the microphone won't even work. When I talk into the microphone while under Sound Properties in the Recording tab, it shows that the microphone is picking up sound. However, in Ventrilo, and Windows Sound Recorder, there is no sound from my microphone.
I'm using Bootcamp 2.1. When will this problem be fixed? Will Apple release a new bootcamp version to fix this problem?? This is very important to me.
If anyone has fixed this problem, please tell me how you did it.
BTW, the audio device is called "Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB75)"

There is a crash message.
Drivers. AppleHFS is one cultprit. RAM. Graphic card. The fact that Mac Pro fans dont' operate or respond properly to thermal changes.  Also, AV software. Your best would be MS Security Essentials

  • Trouble installing bootcamp drivers in Windows XP

    I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and I installed Windows XP Professional SP3 on my Mac just fine but according to the Bootcamp Assistant Guide, it says while in Windows insert your Mac OS X disc to install bootcamp driver by selecting setup.exe from the bootcamp directory.  First, I don't see a bootcamp directory but I did do a search and a file called setup.exe did appear. However, it then ask how I want to open the file and give option such as Internet Explorer, etc. Then I realized that although I have a gateway modem/wireless router at home that my Macbook Pro can be wire connected to and I'm alway connected to wirelessly when I'm in the Mac OS X, when I'm in the Windows XP, it doesn't recognize that I'm connect to a modem or that my Macbook Pro has internet connection in WIndows XP.  As soon as I restart under MAC OSX everything comes back and I can either be connected wired or wireless.
    So bascially I have a few issues going on. First clarity on how to get to the setup.exe from the bootcamp directory while in Windows XP and figuring out how to connect my current gateway modem/wireless router to my Macbook Pro while I'm in Windows XP on it.
    Please can anyone help me out?

    Hi Wilde,
    Apple recommends to only use the BootCamp Drivers they provide.
    However you can tryout these Nvidia driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforcenotebook_winxp_185.85whql.html
    Make sure to make a backup of your Windows before installing them.
    Or at least make a System Restore Point.
    Some people use DriverSweeper http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ to remove the 'old' drivers prior to installing the new ones.
    Take care

  • Bootcamp drivers Windows 7 (64 bit)

    I had my mac replaced because of a screen defect... for some reason after installing windows 7 back on it I cant seem to get the boocamp drivers to work properly. The closest I got was having my keyboard lit all the time but no buttons were working... or trackpad. I DID have this working before and I just remember installing drivers... maybe I have tried the wrong ones? I have went through several and no success so far. So I reformatted with a fresh Windows 7 and now I wanna wait until I get feedback on EXACTLY what to install... thanks

    I totally missed that you put this under "Input Devices" rather than "Install" category....

  • Windows 7 eSTAT exterinal installing BootCamp DRIVERS HELP!!!

    # NEED HELP WITH BOOTCAMP DRIVERS & eSAT external DRIVE!!!
    # I have triple boot OSX 10.6.4 , Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.4 on PowerMac G5 Quad INTEL 16GB ram.
    # I have 4 internal Drives make my RAID. I'm booting 64 bite Kernel.
    # Using 3 external eSTAT drives to boot 3 OS's. 2 of those drives make BOOT Raid with OSX 10.6.4 & my Xcode Dev drive with 10.6.5. I have my Home Directory on 3rd partition of Boot Raid.
    # I have no issues with installment of Windows 7. I have to format Drive with Disk UTILTY as Master Boot Record & GUID!!! Formating in WIndows will not work, cause OSX wants to initialize Disk. GUID will not work after 1st boot in Windows 7 installation it want boot back to start point for installation to finish. MBR format works!!! I tried BOOTCAMP install off OSX DVD, didn't work. SO next pulled just 64 bit Drivers off DVD and i get same result, CRASH CRASH CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
    # anybody know a work around??????????
    # I have not gotten to ubuntu installation yet, doubt i will have any issues with it. except few tweaks which im well aware of. EXCEPT reFit doesn't work on RAID, i'm hoping to use reFit or yboot on ubuntu drive. 1st i need to figure out windows BootCamp driver Problem!!!

    You do have trouble.
    You have a Mac Pro most likely that sortof looks like the older G5s.
    10.6 doesn't run on PowerMacs, nor of course does Windows.
    10.6.5 isn't out and you'd be under NDAs.
    I just pull drives except the one for Windows 7 and format the drive with Windows DVD.
    Disk Utility Partition Options... is either GPT or MBR, not both.
    Boot Camp Assistant will format an entire drive as FAT w/ MBR.
    Windows 7 on EFI based Mac will not boot off external drives.
    It will install and boot off eSATA on PC if the BIOS and motherboard SATA ports support it.
    And pull your 4 internal RAID drives.
    Read and follow the PDF Guide in Boot Camp Assistant and things work.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    Apple's Windows drivers don't play any role installing Windows, only of use afterwards. And then to add motherboard support primarily (you still need ATI, RealTek and other drivers yourself).

  • How to access Bootcamp drivers in Windows 7?

       Having successfully installed Windows 7 (64-bit) on a Bootcamp partition of my new iMac, I used Disk Utility to format an 8 GB USB flash drive, choosing the MSDOS (FAT32) Format option as instructed to do by the Bootcamp 5.0 installation PDF.  I then unzipped the Bootcamp 5.0.5033 files I had previously downloaded and copied them to the root directory of my flash drive.
      When I restarted Windows 7 with the USB flash drive mounted, I navigated to my flash drive using only the wireless keyboard and tried to open the setup.exe file to install the hardware drivers.  To my surprise, Windows 7 regarded my flash drive as improperly formatted and therefore unreadable.  It cheerfully offered to format it for me, which I declined.
      Back on the Mac OS 10.8.3  partition, I found that I could reformat my flash drive using NTSC, but then the Mac OS could no longer copy the Bootcamp drivers onto it. Since I don't have the necessary Windows drivers installed, naturally I can't get online and download the Bootcamp driver files directly onto the Windows 7 desktop.  And I don't have access to another Windows computer at the moment.  So it's a case of:  "You can't get there from here". 
      I'd appreciate any suggestions for workarounds.
      Many thanks!

    Eric,
      Thanks for the links.  I had consulted both of those web pages and followed their instructions.  So I have requisite Bootcamp files.  The problem is that, contrary to the instructions given in the BootCamp installation PDF, Windows 7 refuses to recognize my FAT32 formatted USB flash drive, so I can't get access to the driver files on it.  And of course Windows 7 can't see the Mac OS partition so I can't access them there either.

  • Install Windows 8.1 BootCamp drivers on old MacBook (Late 2008)

    Here is how I installed BootCamp drivers for 8.1 on my old MakBook (Late 2008):
    Download Boot Camp 4.0.4033 (Drivers for old MacBook is in this version)
    Install Windows 7, then WIndows 8.1 (There are other threads on how to do that).
    After Windows 8.1 installed, try to install Boot Camp 4.0.4033 again !!! (Reason: Only this version has the drivers for old Mac like mine)
    Download and install InstEd on Windows 8: http://www.instedit.com/download.html. You need this to modify the BootCamp 4 MSI installer to allow you to run it
    Run InstEd, click File > Open, browse to your <BootCamp_4.0.4033>\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple folder and choose BootCamp64.msi.
    Click LaunchCondition on the left-hand list.
    Select all the rows then right click Delete Rows. (Take a look, you will find thses are the messages you saw when you could not run the installer)
    Save the file with a new name (I used bootcamp4.msi) and quit InstEd.
    Now, you can install the BootCamp 4 drivers on your Mac, by click the Setup.exe (Yes, this will also instll TrackPad driver for old Mac)
    The BootCamp 4 service application itself is not compatible with Windows 8.1, (not the drivers). So just download BootCamp 5.1.5621, and install it (Tip: InstEd).
    After restart, click the BootCamp icon in the system tray. Set up TrackPad, Keyboad, etc. (How is this possible? Because the drivers were installed by BootCamp 4.0.4033.)
    Unstall InstEd, if you want.
    Enjoy!

    And I used this method:
    1. Install Windows 8.1
    2. Download BootCamp 5 and unzip to folder BootCamp5 of a USB drive
    3. Start CMD as Administrator
    4. Install BootCamp 5 by entering the following commands
    D: (Assuming the USB drive is assigned to letter D
    CD BootCamp5\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple
    BootCamp.msi
    No need for InstEd might be considered by some as even more elegant as bezodziu's method

  • How Do I Remove Existing BootCamp Drivers in Windows 7?

    I've just replaced my 2009 Mac Mini Server with the 2012 equivalent. I've successfully utilised WinClone to clone my BootCamp partition from one Mini to the other. My copy of Windows 7 Professional 64bit opens as expected, and I've successfully re-entered my Windows Product Key.
    My only unresolved problem is in re-installing the BootCamp drivers. I have already downloaded the latest BootCamp drivers to my pen/thumb drive, and inserted it in my Mac Mini once Windows has started. On starting the BootCamp package, and attempting to install the drivers, I am alerted to 'a network problem' - which prevents me from installing the latest drivers.
    I suspect the problem resides in an existing BootCamp Manager v4.0.0.0 being present on my Windows install (from my previous Mac Mini).
    On locating the existing BootCamp Manager, Windows will not permit me to delete/remove the program and its associated files.
    I would therefore appreciate some assistance on either issue: installing new drivers, and/or, removing the existing BootCamp drivers.

    The problem has resolved itself...
    ...despite spending several pointless hours trying to delete the existing BootCamp drivers without success, I finally restarted Windows yet again - and this time I was easily able to delete the existing drivers.
    I then restarted my Mac, installed the latest drivers without issue and it all works just fine.
    Windows, eh?!

  • Installed WIndows 7 & correct bootcamp drivers, windows will not activate "hot fix" or "Support drivers"

    Hello, i hope someone can help,
    i have repeated this whole process 3 times already, it has taken 8 strait hours of my time and i still have had no success.
    QUICK SUMMERY
    To put it simply, After windows is up and running on my mac, the wireless network wont work, so i cannot download the hot fix, and the support driver files from bootcamp will not open because it says they are not "32 Valid" ?. But im using a 64bit disk.
    The wireless network adaptor automatically doesn't work on windows right after installation,
    so i had to load the Hot Fix onto an SD card along with the bootcamp drivers, then open the hotfix file in windows.
    The first time i was able to install the fix, windows restarted and installed the update, logged back on... and nothing changed.
    At that point i attempted to open the "Setup"  file in the bootcamp support folder, and an error message came up saying it wasn't valid.
    LONGER EXPLANATION OF MY COMPLETE PROCESS: (to cancel out any questions)
    i was able to find my support driver from here:
    http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged -1.sucatalog
    its some old fashion coded page that has a bunch of apple drivers you can download by pasting one of the codes in your browser,
    i searched for bootcamp support drivers, and found the code for my exact model (Mac Pro 8,2)
    i was able to manually downloaded the drivers instead of  using bootcamp assistant.
    As a side note,
    i was able to download the bootcamp drivers via boot camp assistant after the 5th try,
    so now i have both files that i know are supposed to work 100%. they are loaded and unzipped on an SD card like they are supposed to be for when i open windows.
    I have a Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium x64 bit CD from the inlaws so i used that CD after i partitioned my drive in bootcamp.
    Bootcamp run like it was supposed to, and i followed step by step instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVfRQ0YIDUI&feature=related
    once windows was finished installing,
    it automatically would not detect a network card, so i couldn't connect to the internet and download the apples bug fix. (The Hot fix)
    instead i downloaded the hot fix on a separate SD card, turned windows back on and loaded the hot fix from the SD card.
    Windows installed the hot fix update, restarted, but nothing changed.
    Ive even tried skipping right to uploading the drivers, and windows wont activate the support because it says its not "32 Valid"
    I completely removed windows 7 vis bootcamp to rinse and repeat hoping i made a simple mistake, but no same thing happened.
    Conclusion
    -im Wondering if i should "Istall important Windows Updates" during the begining of windows preperation...
    maybe that will fix the issues of it not reconizing wierless network, and not being able to upen up the bootcamp file?
    (it says you are not supposed to install any windows updates untill the HOT FIX and BOOTCAMP SUPPORT is activated on windows)

    You have been too cleaver for a Boot Camp install.
    The partition system does NOT like anything other than a standard arrangement which creates 4 partitions.
    EFI -200mb
    OSx - Extended Journaled
    Buffer-200mb
    Windows -NTFS
    Return to OSx -Open Boot Camp tool from the utilities folder reset to a single partition.
    Start again and when you get to Windows - Let all the drivers load on the CREATED partition. Use the External for storage !
    Just for your information, as it doesn't seem you have ever used BC.
    When starting the boot camp assistant the first thing it want to do is download the Windows Support drivers and asks you to save them to a DVD, it will also allow you to save them to your OS X hard drive or to any drive connected to the system. Once those drivers are downloaded it then starts the Win install. What you must do is copy those support drives to a media that Windows can See and Read from. Like a DVD or a thumb drive formatted FAT32
    No where in the OPs post does he say anything about fooling with any partitions on his internal drive other then creating the BC partition.
    His problem is he saved those support files to a Mac OS X formatted external drive. Windows can not read Mac Extended (Journaled) formatted drives. So he can't load the drivers for Windows until he copies those support files ove to something that Windows can read.

  • Unable to access the internet on windows xp using bootcamp. I installed the bootcamp drivers ( from snow leopard) but it still doesn't work. I have parallels 6 also installed and IT works fine. I am missing a rtl network adapter-thanksr

    Hi
    I have a new 21 inch imac oct 2011 version. I installed bootcamp and windows xp on my machine and i also installed parallels 6.
    Paralleles works great and i can open any program with it. But bootcamp also works EXCEPT it refuses to give me access to the internet. I installed the bootcamp drivers from my snow leopard disk, it did not make a difference. All the drivers installed but still no internet. I then installed the bootcamp drivers from the gray mac osx disk (#1) but it stopped installing with an error number ( 2753) and it said that the package was damaged.
    I have tried everything; i opened each disk and trieed installing the files separately. Nothing.
    What i see missing in my devices screen in XP is the network adapter.
    I have a router (dlink-dr615) and it is connected by ethernet to my imac. I wonder if THIS might have anything to do with the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
    Good luck.

  • Partition not big enough to install bootcamp drivers (installed windows 7)

    I installed bootcamp, partitioned a drive to 6GB (thought it was 16GB)
    installed windows 7 pro and went to install the bootcamp drivers so I can switch back to Snow Leopard and it won't let me install the drivers because the partition is so low on space. I don't have any other application on the windows 7 partition as i just installed it. I even tried to create room by deleting the sample photos, music and videos, which got me to a point where i could start the installation then it stopped cause it got too full again.
    How do i get my mac back to snow leopard? OR how do i make my partition larger so I can install the bootcamp drivers?
    HELP!

    Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition. Use Disk Utility to erase free space.
    For Win 7 and others you need to be considering a much larger partition size. I would recommend a minimum of 30-40GB. It depends on what you need Windows for. But my needs are such that several hundred GB are usual for my Boot Camp partitions.
    Remember that just like Mac OS X, Windows needs free space for paging files and behind the scenes workspace.

  • I get the blue screen whenever I try to install the bootcamp drivers in windows 7

    I just recently installed windows 7 home on my 2011 imac useing bootcamp.
    Everything seemed to install fine however whenever I try to run the bootcamp drivers in windows to get my mouse and wifi and all that to work I get a blue screened.
    Any Ideas?
    Ive followed the exact instructions from the manual for OSX and nothing seems to work.

    Question: Does the Windows disk that you are using have SP2 (Service Pack 2)? In other words, is your version of Windows a FULL version (and not an upgrade version) of XPSP2 Home Edition?
    Having SP2 is a requirement to have XP installed on an intel Mac.
    If you already have the right version then I am not sure what exactly the issue may be.

  • How to install bootcamp drivers on Windows 8?

    Hello,
    Today I decided to install Windows 8 onto my Mac Pro running 10.8.5 in order to play games on Steam.  I started BootCamp assistant and made a 65GB partition for Windows 8, and when I tried to install Windows I unchecked the top box (not sure what it said now).  Now I have a Windows computer, I CANNOT get back to OS X.  The Mac Pro will not boot into OS X, it just goes straight to Windows every time.  I've read that there should be some place in Windows to switch back, but I cannot find it.  I tried holding down the option key upon boot up at the gray screen, it still goes straight to Windows.  I tried holding command R at the boot up screen, it goes straight to Windows.  HELP!!  I picked the 60.5GB partition to install on, could it have somehow erased my OS X partition?  Is there a way to install bootcamp drivers from Windows?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jared

  • Installing Windows 7 Bootcamp Drivers after OSX has been overwritten

    I previously overwrote my OSX+Win7 bootcamp installation in favor of Linux Mint 15. There were some video driver incompatibilities with my Macbook Pro 7,1 (Mid-2010), so I have re-installed Windows 7. Because I no longer have OSX, Bootcamp is not available to me in any way. In Windows 7, I cannot right click, adjust the screen/keyboard brightness, eject discs (I can eject during startup, but not once Windows is running), and there's probably more that I can't do. This is just what I've found out so far. After some Googling, I found a download link for the Bootcamp drivers for Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro Mid-2010 model. The file is a .pkg file, which to my knowledge, is useless in Windows. Am I ever going to be able to install these drivers? Do I need some software or to burn some kind of image to a CD/DVD? I would really like to keep this installation of Windows 7, at the very least for iTunes. I'm fairly good with these computer things, so just let me know what options I have here haha... If all else fails, I can install Mint or Ubuntu. The video driver issues aren't anything TOO bad, but they're annoying enough that I'd rather use Windows at this point.
    Thanks for any help and suggestions and stuff!!

    TLDR; Macbook Pro 7,1 only has Windows 7. DOES NOT HAVE OSX. How can I install Bootcamp drivers? I already have a .pkg file, but I can't use that with Windows.
