Boot Camp 2.0 Drivers

Running 10.5.8 on iMac. Got Boot Camp 2.0 to create the partition, got Windows XP (sp3) installed, now just need the drivers. I know I need the 2.1 drivers but when I tried to run the file I downloaded off the Apple page (Boot Camp - Windows XP Drivers Update 2.1) it told me the files were just an update and, essentially, that I needed 2.0 first. This seems to contradict:
"Note: This download contains complete copies of Boot Camp Windows XP Drivers (version 2.1). If you have Boot Camp drivers already installed, it will update them. If you do not have any Boot Camp drivers installed, it will install version 2.1 drivers onto your already installed Windows OS."
But who am I to argue? Or maybe I did it wrong? (download, put on flash drive, opened file in Windows by double-clicking) I don't have the original DVDs that came with the iMac. I called Apple and they can't send it to me. I went to my local store's (Topanga, CA) genius bar and they don't have it. I called all the Los Angeles service providers on the list the genius bar gave me and no one caries it. Anyone know how/where I can get the 2.0 drivers?
Most importantly, I need whatever tells Windows how to access the internet via an ethernet cable. I just need the alphabet, arrows, numbers, and mouse. No special graphics, audio, camera, wi-fi, etc.

If you still need it I have a copy of it but I don't know how to give it to you

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.

I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

Boot Camp: x86 Windows drivers

So I installed Windows using Boot Camp. Support drivers were moved to my USB stick.
I started up driver installer, and it says that this type of file is not supported by this version of Windows. This is probably because I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (x86). I didn't find any x86 support drivers anywhere.

That's because you have downloaded the Boot Camp 5 drivers. Boot Camp 5 drivers are only compatible with 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8 versions. In order to get the correct Boot Camp version for your 32-bit Windows, download them from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/downloads
Another option you have is to upgrade to a 64-bit Windows version

Boot Camp Network Adapter drivers

I wonder if anyone can assist in this?
I have installed Windows 7 on Boot Camp, I have booted it, and the thing wont connect to anyhting. THe troubleshooting mentions the lack of network adapters. How do I get these? I have tried the dvd I burned whilst setting up Boot Camp, with no result.

The drivers download servers are apparently down and have been at least all day today. Be patient and try again tomorrow or the next day.

MacBook Pro Boot Camp Sound Audio Drivers Do Not Work with Miscrosoft Vista

I installed Vista via Boot Camp on my new 15" i7 MacBook Pro. After full MS Vista patching and Apple Boot Camp driver installation, the sound/audio does not work.
After some searching on the net, I've noticed that this is perhaps a widespread problem. Are there any solutions or an indication of when this will be fixed?

When you mean no sound, do you get the volume slider but nothing comes out or do you not get the volume slider at all?
Go to control panel, sound (you might need to switch to classic view to see the one im on about), then the "sounds" tab, there should be audio clips that you should be able to play, if the laptop has picked up the sound controller in it.
If you cant play these (greyed out) then the driver isnt installed properly.
There should be a update option in the boot camp program that is installed in your vista partition, run that, and if it fails you can try what is below.
Try going into device manager, uninstall/remove the drivers under the heading "sound, game and audio controllers" reboot the machine and it should install them back in again.
If it doesnt and asks for a disc, then they'll be on your max os x disc, but not sure you can install drivers individually this way. might have to reinstall the boot camp drivers from scratch.
Ive had this proplem on PC's (not macs) with drivers from manufacturer of the machines not working after windows updates. Fixed by using drivers from the audio controller manufacturer. But dont think its the same issue you are having.

Unable to download boot camp win 7 drivers for my imac 27 inch imac(intel) plz help,can i download the drivers manually by booting from windows 7,

Can't uninstall or re-install Vista drivers (Boot Camp 2.1)

I'm having problems with my MacBook Pro's bluetooth support in Vista under Boot Camp so I thought I'd try to re-install the Boot Camp 2.1 drivers. However, whenever I run the setup program, it just gives me a useless error message saying it encountered an error before it could start the install, and to please try again later. Rebooting doesn't help.
So I thought maybe I could uninstall all the Apple stuff then start again. But when I try to uninstall "Boot Camp services" from the programs and features control panel, it starts to uninstall, but then gives up silently as it nears the completion of the "gathering information" dialog.
So I can't uninstall or re-install this thing. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

It may be too late, but have you tried going into the drivers using Vista's control panel and either removing the drivers or reverting to precious drivers?

Can't install Boot Camp Drivers on Win 7 (Fusion)

I'm really sorry - I know this has been asked a thousand times before, but every response I've found so far either didn't work for me or it was too technical for my limited knowledge. I'm on the verge of tears after having tried to solve the problem for over 5 hours. It's past 2am here in Australia and I really should go to sleep but this is driving me insane!
Yesterday I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Air (13" 2011 model, running Mountain Lion) using Fusion 5. I need to run Windows-only applications for work, which also requires accents (I am a translator).
As I didn't go about it using Boot Camp, I tried following this step-by-step to get my keyboard working properly: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&d ocTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1005578
No luck.
I downloaded the drivers using Boot Camp onto a USB stick formated as MS-DOS (FAT). I tried running setup.exe but keep getting the horrible "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model" no matter what (tried the "Troubleshoot compatibility" trick, tried re-formatting my stick and downloading the drivers again... nothing worked).
I then tried to run AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe only and got an installation wizard. Windows says installation is complete, although I can't see this driver on the program list (should I?) - I can only it see it when I go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features (from there I get the option to uninstall it but not to open it). HOWEVER, when I attempt to add an Apple keyboard, I can't see any, under any language.
I have tried alternative solutions like building my own keyboard layout but that didn't work either because I can't make the accent functions work in order to set up the layout!
Adding a foreign keyboard layout to Windows just gave me a very random set of strokes that will drive me insane if I have to type them regularly.
I just want to be able to use the standard strokes for accents on both OS:
Alt+e for á
Alt+i for ^
Alt+c for ç
Alt+` for à
Alt+n for ~
Can any good soul help me? I'm not an IT person, just someone who used to be married to her Mac (a very happy marriage) and who is now about to throw the laptop out of a window. Please HELP!!!

That article was also my starting point and I have followed those steps again and again and again. I haven't slept, I haven't done anything other then try to make it work for more hours than I can count. I came here for help because that solution is not working for me.
The region and keyboard type settings simply don't have the Apple keyboard layout listed. As I said, someone on the Fusion forum tried to follow the article's instructions too and he managed to get it working because he COULD run setup.exe (Boot Camp Drivers) on his machine, and I CAN'T. Yes, it is all explained in that article... but the drivers WON'T INSTALL, I get an error message saying "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model".
First you said it wasn't physically possible for me to install the drivers, then you said I should just follow the article. Well, the article clearly says "Install the Boot Camp Windows device drivers in the virtual machine" which you just said couldn't be done! I want to cry. I should have just bought a second laptop, this is too painful.

Boot Camp 2.1.drivers updated.no-auto.kbd.Mgr.app.exe

My problems have not been quite that severe, but my recent experience with Boot Camp 2.1 and SP3 has been pretty bad. First, my colors do not seem to be displaying properly, mostly with blues turning into red (i.e., links in Firefox). Then last night I got three blue screens while using MS office in XP(which also has color problems).
Remarkably, I do NOT have any of these problems in fusion, running off the same partition....
I read another thread which suggested upgrading the graphics drivers in XP, which I am going to try, but if you uninstall boot camp 2.1, won't you have problems with SP3? Aren't you supposed to install 2.1 before you do the SP3 upgrade?

Early 2008 Mac Pro - Can't load Boot Camp drivers for Win 7 64

Trying to install Win 7 64 bit on my early 2008 Mac Pro. I downloaded the Boot Camp drivers 4.0.4033 and installed them on a USB drive but, for some reason, when I try the install them during the process, I get a message that my hardware is not recognized. Skipping the driver loading process, I am able to install Win 7 but when the system trys to restart to continue the install, I get a message "disk error, press any key to restart". Pressing any key does not get me anywhere. I went through the Win 7 repair process and again tried to load the drivers with no luck.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Drivers for Boot Camp on MBP 15" late 2008/2009

I have just loaded Windoze XP on Boot Camp partition but after loading drivers (at least a half dozen times) none of the hardware is enabled - audio/nVidia graphics etc reports no drivers installed. I have visited the nVidia website and downloaded the latest drivers but still after installing - no drivers installed! Anyone else have this problem? Any fix or must we await a revision of boot camp with newer drivers?

I have noted a link to the latest version for Windows XP.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp___Windows_XP_Drivers_Update_21
Boot Camp 2.1 is the latest version. We are way past due for an update.

Boot Camp & Windows 7 -- "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" (This is wrong.)

Hello,
I am hoping I can find some help here, I have purged the internet looking for a solution, all to no avail.
Heres the situation:
I have a 15" mac book pro unibody.
500 gb hdd
4 gb ram
9600m gt graphics
Anyways, I decided to install windows 7 on a partition I made using boot camp, hoping to play the new Dragon Age: Origins game.
Everything went well with the install, except for the graphics card.
When I open the device manager, this is what it says:
www.m2mlinks.com/cs445/images/Capture1.PNG
"Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"
Clearly wrong, clearly does not work with Dragon Age:
www.m2mlinks.com/cs445/images/Capture2.PNG
("Graphics card not supported for this game")
So I don't know what to do, here's what I HAVE done.
--I tried going to the nVidia website and downloading the latest driver for my graphics card, only to have it say this when I try to run it:
www.m2mlinks.com/cs445/images/Capture2.PNG
("There is no drivers in this package for the hardware on your computer")
--I tried going into Device Manage, right clicking Standard VGA Graphics Adapter, clicking properties->update drive->browse my computer->let me pick->picking my latest nVidia folder->picking 9600m gt from the list-> next. This looks like it starts to install, but then tells me that the control panel was not able to install successfully, so its REVERTING to the last working driver, uninstalling and restarting as I scream "Nooooooo!!".
--I tried changing the nvam.inf file, editing the device key value of the graphics I retrieved from running dxdiag, however when I ran dxdiag, it was the same device key as the one already in the nvam.inf file, so that changed nothing.
--Lastly (i just remembered this, I did this first), I tried downloading the latest BootCamp version (2.1 or something?), and this changed nothing as well.
I am severely exhausted and stressed from trying to get this to work, and I am in DIRE need of help, since one of the only reasons I put windows 7 on this was to play video games!!! Please dont let it be all for nothing haha.
Thanks for ANY help anyone can give me, I will answer ANY questions!!

Boot Camp in Snow Leopard does not yet "officially" support Windows 7, but such support has been promised "before the end of the year." See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3920
Presumably the updated Boot Camp will support drivers not currently available, such as the appropriate video drivers. The end of the year looms and there is as yet no word about better support for Windows 7. Lets hope there are new drivers, as there are many others in your situation, although plenty of other people report they are using Windows 7 and Boot Camp. I prefer to wait for the official release by Apple.

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.
I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

Dear Nathan,
Many thanks. To the best of my memory, that is how I got where I am today. Initially I had one failed setup, then discovered compatibility mode and ran using it. The result was not an obvious failure, but something was not there because not only were some drivers missing (wi-fi, trackpad, ...) but (much to my disappointment) the 3.1 update would not run. It complained that 3.0 wasn't there. If I hardwired to my home network, the machine would do almost everything I wanted, but the graphics were slow and clumsy. That is when I hunted around for the NVidia driver and downloaded it from NVidia. And that is where I stand now.
My son found this link http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/01/15/using-boot-camp-to-install-windows-7-on-you r-mac-the-complete-walkthrough/
which has instructions claiming to do the install straight to Win 7 without using compatibility mode.
Given that my clumsy efforts to patch things up have probably necessitated a Win 7 deinstall and reinstall to test either your plan or the one my son found, I am inclined to sit tight for a couple of days to see how much I can learn.
I appreciate your interest in this problem, and if you are up for reading the process at the link my son found and commenting, I would be grateful.
In any case, many thanks, Paul
