ATI driver installation issue with Windows Vista on Boot Camp (new iMac)

I've just purchased a new 20" iMac with Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz.
Then I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition.
Vista installation was eventless and worked nicely.
Now the problem has begun...
I downloaded the latest ATI graphic card driver (Catalyst 7.7 for Vista 32) from the ATI website. The Catalyst software did not recognize the graphic card and installed nothing. I still have generic Microsoft standard VGA video adapter, which keeps me from playing any recent 3D games...
Someone please help me on this so that I can start playing Oblivion...

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
I still have to find a verification for this, but:
Aplle has up to now always used the Mobility versions of the ATI and NVIDIA graphics chips in the iMacs and MacBooks, MacBooks Pro.
I assume that the in the new imacs, they are also using the Mobility version of the Radeon 2400/2600.
The ATI drivers you can download from the ATI/AMD website are only suitable for the Desktop Radeons, NOT for the Mobility Radeons.
ATI/AMD does not provide drivers for the Mobility Radeons, but are refering to the Manufacturer of the Computer for Drivers, which is Apple.
Sorry to say, but it seems you have to wait for a new BootCamp version which you include Driver support of the new iMacs.
Sorry
Stefan

Serious issue with Windows XP on Boot Camp

Whenever I run an application on Windows XP, the blue screen of death pops up after about 5 to 10 minutes or so and my computer automatically restarts. When I log back onto Windows, the system tells me that it has recovered from a serious error. Here is the error signature:
BCCode : 1000007f BCP1 : 0000000D BCP2 : 00000000 BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 512600 SP : 2_0 Product : 768_1
Any help on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated. As a side, I've installed the latest Boot Camp updates as well as Service Pack 3 for XP.

I'm having exactly the same problem -- happened 3 times tonight!
This has been occurring for roughly the last week or so. Correlates closely with my upgrade to MAC OS 10.5.4, but I can't tie it to that precisely.

Itunes 8 - issues with Windows Vista

I have recently bought a new laptop with windows vista home basic. Downloaded Itunes 8 and installed it ok, but when i go to start itunes, it starts in a minimised screen and I can't see the any of the buttons along the top (file, edit etc..). When the screen is maximised, the appearance is ok. But there is a problem with language in the play-lists - the playlist titles are in another language (Looks like Swedish or Finnish).
I've checked all the language settings in itunes and in the operating system too and they are all set to English. Has anyone come accross this problem before? Is this a known issue with Itunes/Vista?

I am having the same problem regarding the playlist languages, as well as other aspects. For example, my library name under preferences is not in English. Have you resolved the issue? I have checked all of my itunes and computer language settings and they are all set to English. I even changed my computer settings from Canada to US so that they are all the same.

Flash player 11.0.1.152 installation problem with Windows Vista 64-Bit

Hello,
I just can't get Flash Player to install on my computer with Windows Vista 64-Bit - doesnt matter if I try with Firefox, Opera or IE (I usually use Firefox).
The download isn't a problem, but when I start the downloaded .exe, this file just disappears from my download folder and nothing happens - besides starting a process called install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih_3.exe, which does nothing. The usual installation popup never appears. After that I can't try starting the installation again, until disabling the process via task manager ("Only a single instance of this application may run"). Doesn't matter if I try the download and installation with or without "McAffe Security Plus" btw - same result.
I never had such a problem before - Flash Player 10.3 was and is no problem to install and use.
I have tried all the measures suggested in the troubleshooting section on the official site, including the advanced troubleshooting measures (uninstall old version, run as administrator, disabling software firewalls, disabling virus scanner etc.). Nothing helps.
I don't got those problems with my laptop running Windows 7 - just my desktop computer with Vista 64-Bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need help installing my graphics driver in windows vista via boot camp

New to mac so first time on forum as well.
Love the Mac but i also want to get on some old games. C&C The First Decade mainly.
I am currently using below.
Mac mini Mid 2011 processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core it
Memory 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Installing windows vista home premium 32 bit
I have installed windows vista home premium using boot camp assistant and downloaded the windows drivers as well. After i have installed windows i installed boot camp using my Mac OS X snow leopard which installed boot camp 3 or 3.1 i believe and i eventually got apple updates for 3.2 which is what i am now runnning on vista. I had trouble getting my sound to play through my speakers at first but eventually got them working and now it is my graphics driver that i cannot seem to get working. In vista(I also downloaded service pack 1 and 2) when i go to control panel and check out my device control it shows a yellow exclamation point next to the adapter. I guess i need help in getting my graphics installed correctly on my windows. Is there something i should take off to install the correct driver? Or do i just need the correct driver download? If i have the correct driver how do i upload it onto my windows side in the device control.
When i try to run c&c generals/zero hour i get a directx 8.1 error, red alert 2 is black but i can hear. i know these games can work i installed the graphics correctly the first time when i did not have sound as this is my second time installing windows so the game did load when i did not have sound.
Advise?
I was thinking about saying forget this i can't waste hours of my time anymore but i have to be close to getting everything working if i had graphics before and no sound but sound this time and no graphics. I was also thinking about just buying windows 7 home premium sp1 64bit system builder dvd off amazon and reinstalling windows using windows 7 but i want to make sure i can play these games before i spend the money. I thought my mini couldn't support windows vista and if it did only boot camp 4? how am i getting this far to get things to work?
What is the driver i need to install to get these games working? What do I need to do or what am I missing???
Do i need to install a different boot camp off apple and find a driver that will get mine to work in vista?
Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated i have been at this everyday for hours.

Also is there something, say maybe a driver, that was installed i do not need that is blocking me from installing the correct drivers? What driver in my boot camp folder do i need to install to get to the correct display to run those games.

No sound on imac with windows 7 running boot camp

Just to elaborate further; if the Windows OS has been previously installed, go to the bootcamp assistant in OSX (found in applications/utilities). There you will have the option to burn a disk or download the needed drivers to a USB flash drive. After getting the necessary files downloaded/burned proceed and start your Windows partition, run the installer from the disc. This should solve the problem.
Did you mean to reply to the poster who has the problem?
Because that's not me.

Windows Vista 64 bit and new iMac (Penryn)

Anyone knows when the new iMacs will be "official supported" for Vista 64?
I have read that today only the Mac Pro and the MacBook Pro ( both 2008 edition) are supported. I have try to install Vista 64 on my new iMac Penryn without problem (OS) while with the Bootcamp drivers i cant go on with installation becouse i have a compatibily error message with x64. It's BIOS EFI problem? ETA for new iMac support???
Thx all

If the Leopard DVD when inserted into Vista doesn't auto open to
/BOOTCAMP
and, those drivers are needed first in order to install BC 2.1 (buggy for many) there is a bit torrent of BC 64-bit drivers, but they should be there.
I suspect that any Penryn series WILL be supported, but weren't/aren't ready, and that page listing Macs that are Vista 64-bit is therefore "out of date" at this point.

Is the Apple Wireless Keyboard fully compatible with Windows 7 in Boot Camp?

If you have an iMac running Snow Leopard and Windows 7, will the Apple Wireless Keyboard work properly in Windows 7 (via Boot Camp)?
I'm asking because a friend of mine has an Apple Wired Keyboard that they want to get rid of, and upgrade to an Apple Wireless Keyboard. However, their concern is that the Apple Wireless Keyboard won't work properly (or reliably) when they run Windows 7 on their iMac.

I'm using an Apple Wireless Keyboard running Boot Camp and Windows 7 64 bit right now typing this. Seems to run just fine under Windows 7 for me. Some of the familiar Windows keyboard keys are not present, of course, though there are key mappings to get to those too. I actually like this keyboard a lot, under Windows 7 or OS X.

ITune reinstall issue with Windows Vista

Because of a malware issue I was recently forced to remove, among all the others, my iTunes program from my computer (Dell Studio 1535 using Windows Vista Home Premium Service [OEM] Pack 2). A few days ago I went to the Apple site and downloaded the iTune64 setup application. When I click on the app it starts to install properly but all of a sudden I receive a popup saying: “The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This canoccur if you are running Windows in safe node, or if the Windows Installer isnot correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.” I am not running this setup in "Safe Mode." After numerous internet searches, fix attempts and discussions with individuals in India I’m still having this issue. Could anyone offer any suggestions? BTW, this WILL be the LAST Windows base computer I will EVER own. In the meantime, I need my iTunes back.

Hi,
Apple has released the 2.2 driver update for BootCamp.

It should address the difficulties with the 24" iMac.

Installation failed with Windows Vista and JDK1.602

JSE8.1 (based on NetBeans 5.0) is not supported on Vista. You may want to consider using the latest NetBeans 5.5.1. (NetBeans is where all future development is planned for).
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5192837
From the release notes of NB551:
# Issue #85361: NetBeans 5.5 installer does not start on Windows Vista.
    Description: On systems running Windows Vista, the NetBeans 5.5 installer fails to start
and a message suggesting running with the "silent" or "console" flag appears.
    Workaround: To correct this, run the installer on JDK 6.0 build 96 or newer.
    If you encounter further difficulties, disable Compatibility Mode manually. You can do
this by right-clicking the .exe installer file and choosing Properties from the pop-up menu,
then deselecting Compatibility Mode in the Compatibility tab of the File Properties dialog.
Note that if Compatibility Mode was turned on automatically, it is necessary to disable it
for both the current user AND all users. To do so, click the "Show Settings for All Users"
button, then deselect the Compatibility Mode checkbox in the "Compatibility for All Users"
dialog.You can try the same workaround for installing jse8.1, to see if that works. But, it is an older version that is not supported on vista and hence my suggestion to consider a later version of NB.

B1DE Installer compatibility with Windows Vista

Hi All,
We are developing an add-on for SAP Business One 2005B.
While testing the add-on on Windows Vista we noticed that the Add-on installer created using the the professional installer of B1DE hangs during installation.
i.e. - After registering the Add-on in SAP Business One, when we restart SAP Business One, the install routine does start but hangs during the installation process.
We are using Version 1.2 of B1DE.
Can some one please help us with this situation.
Regards,
Pankaj Mathur

Hi Pankaj,
Vista is not currently supported for either the B1DE or SAP Business One. Therefore, even if you could get the add-on to install, you couldn't get support from SAP if you come across any issue.
I expect SAP will bring out a service pack or a patch for running SBO on Vista and a new version of the B1DE will emerge about the same time. Until then, I'm afraid you'll have to stick to XP.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

I have been having problems with my screen for several months now: every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels. I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed. It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal. I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot. This does not work. I have also tried installing the original graphics driver. This does not work either.
If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error:
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing. I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have a resolution?
I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007. The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
Thanks for your help.

For the IQ700 series
If you're running Windows Vista SP2, there is a patch for USB patch for NVIDIA chipsets

If you're running Windows 7, install this patch

And only use the driver from the system manufacturer's website or Windows Update. Do not use the latest drivers from NVIDIA's website for the IQ700 series

Stream 14 Driver installation Issues on Windows 7

I am wierdly struggling with something I have done countless times before with other laptops - remove Windows 8 and install Windows 7 I've so far disabled Secure Boot, Enabled legacy support, removed all hard drive partitions and installed Windows 7 which has gone on without issue, the problem is the driver installation. I (as always) download the drivers from: -a) The PC manufacturer if present (not in this case)b) Direct from the hardware vendor I do not use driver download software (trust issues) The first problem driver is the AMD chipset driver, I have downloaded the Catalyst driver many times and yet each install does not actually install any usable drivers (v14.12) which lists the chipset as supported OK, I'll download the broadcom driver for the inbuilt wifi, this was confirmed by the VEN and PID numbers however despite downloading the correct broadcom driver it did not install the wifi device. I thought OK, i'll add a wifi dongle and use that to triple check I have the right chipset driver by using their auto detect feature. However the same problem has occured, I checked the VED and PID number against realteks drivers to find the right one but it will not install this either. This has, at the moment, left me with a HP Stream 14 with Windows 7 and no drivers and no internet connection to use driver dectection. Note: drivers downloaded and copied onto Stream 14 using my PC. Any Thoughts?

Hey, tsumbled upon your thread googling for the same thing. Changed OS from Windows 8.1 to 7. Managed to install USB3 driver, by installing AMD Chipsets drivers from AMD's site, the latest ones should work. Chipset driver also installs support for HDMI Audio, SM Bus, SATA, PSP. I also had problem installing graphics driver (Radeon R3), the latest Catalyst drivers (15.7) weren't working (the .inf file didn't contain needed DEV_9854). But fortunately the Latest Windows Beta driver (15.6) from AMD did work. Broadcom BCM43142 Wifi driver, I downloaded from HP - http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?idx=2&swEnvOID=&action=driverDocument&itemLocale=&swLang=&swItemId=ob_133353_1&mode=4 For the rest, Windows 8.1 drivers worked.
