Boot camp and Vista home basic

everything seems to be working well with BC and Vista. Vista has this tool that automatically checks for problems, and then tries to find solutions, this is all done in the background. When I check to see if I had any problems, well I do. It states that there are missing Apple drivers and these drivers can be found on the apple website or by using Apple software update. Well Software update says all is up to date, and that goes for Apple and Vista. Is there anyone else experiencing this with Vista Home Basic?
Thanks.

you may need to re insert leopard and re download the drivers. There is also an option to "fix" the drivers when doing this. That's what I had to do.

  • Mac Book Boot camp and Vista Home Premium  - will it run ok?

    I have the latest black Mac Book with 2GB of ram installed. Will this allow Boot Camp to run Vista Home Premium ok? Or should I go for Parallels instead?

    I run the exact same system. The Vista performance test scores are as follows:
    Processor 5.1
    Memory 4.6
    Graphics 3.3
    Gaming Graphics 3.1
    Primary Hard Disk 4.8
    Obviously this is not a system for really high end gaming, but the average user will be very pleased with the performance. Do not forget that you can use a flash memory USB device with ReadyBoost to get a little bump in these numbers.
    I could not be happier with how Vista Home Premium runs on my Macbook. It takes 3X the time to start up as Mac OS X.

  • CS  and Vista Home Basic

    Hi couple of questions if anyone can help
    1. Does CS 2(Indesign/Pshop/Illustrator) run on Windows Vista® Home Basic SP1 ?
    2. We are soon to upgrade to CS 4 - has anyone encountered problems with the above operating system and CS4?
    Thanks!

    If you want to read about the differences in Vista, here is a link.

    I wish they never had the 'basic' or other versions. It's so confusing - especially to older relatives of mine.

  • Slllllooooooooowwwww iTunes boot-up under Vista Home Basic

    I've just installed iTunes on a laptop running Vista Home Basic. The computer is less than a year old and has generally fast performance. But iTunes takes about 15 minutes to run after its icon has been clicked. At the moment, here about 10 minutes after clicking the iTunes icon, Windows' Task Manager shows "iTunesHelper Module," "iTunes.exe," and "iPodService.exe" running as "Processes", but there is no Application showing, and of course, no functionality yet. Sometime in the next 5 or 10 minutes, iTunes will finally show up on the screen and become functional. Ideas? Thanks.
    JL

    You could try uninstalling and re-installing iTunes.
    This article will walk you through removing iTunes and its components: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US
    Be sure to remove all four components, not just iTunes. Good luck!

  • Boot Camp and Vista SP1

    Hi. I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard and Vista. Is it safe to install Vista SP1 in Boot Camp 2.0? I haven't heard of too many issues, but just making sure it wasn't going to break anything. Thanks.

    I'm having the exact issues as webcat, but I'm on an iMac 2.8 (early 2008) ATI video & 4GB using 10.5.4/5.
    The BC util worked fine through partitioning (32GB) and Vista-SP1 (Ultimate) install, and the the OS-X CD-1 driver update - but once in Vista the stated symptoms showed up. I had initially ran Windows Update, but no Vista Ultimate updates were found. There was also an attempt to run some Apple software update but the pop-up went away before I had a chance to read it.
    I have down loaded the BCUpdateVista32.exe and tried to run that (GUI) a few times, but it always fails with the "Boot Camp UI transform Update has stopped working" error - faulting module listed as ntdll.dll 6.0.6001.18000.
    So, where to now is my question? I have seen some hope from the Cmd-Line 'softwareupdate' method, or I can run through the registry and 'purge/change' as deemed needed. The confounding thing is that the BC 2.1 update is a Windows EXE, so I need to work in that environment to get it installed, and I had presumed that with my updated 10.5.4/5 before I started, that BC would have been at the v2.1 level.
    It seems I may yet need to burn a CD of drivers and and update the supplied OS-X drivers with the BC 2.1 items - is this possible?
    Thanks for any help and direction with this.

  • Boot camp and Vista...Windows give me boot up error

    I have the macbookpro with os 10.5.6. I just installed windows vista ultimate on bootcamp and loaded all the drivers.
    Everything works well except that when I boot up windows, in the beginning it gives me something like this:
    Unrecognized partition, fix drive 80, please rebuild it using microsoft FDisk Tool.
    The message error is something like this...it will scroll like 3-4 times but it will actually boot into windows with no problems.
    Any clues?

    nd welcome to Discussions and a Happy New Year,
    have a look at the procedure described here http://www.lancelhoff.com/2008/09/29/unrecognized-partition-table-for-drive-80/

  • Help! HP Laserjet 3050, AEX and Vista Home Basic on a Dell Dimension

    Hey All,
    I have been through this forum several times and found a few nuggets here and there. Unfortunately none of them have worked.
    I have my MacBook Pro printing flawlessly to the HP 3050, which is connected to the AEX USB port.
    I am able to gain an IP address and surf the web on both the Mac and PC.
    I downloaded and installed Bonjour for Windows
    I ran through the creation of the port adding the 1.0.1.1 address.
    Still, I cannot print from the Dell.
    Help!!
    Oh and yes I have installed the latest drivers.

    Have you tried manually setting the IP Addresses of your ISP's DNS servers in Vista (same as DNS addresses in router)...? This sounds like the same BUG I reported here which has yet to be addressed... see my posts on "DNS recursion fails"...

  • Can I upgrade Vista Home Basic to Vista Business using Boot Camp & Fusion

    I have installed Vista Home Basic 32-bit through Boot Camp partition and am running this through Fusion 1.1. I need Fusion's capability of running Windows at the same time as my Leopard. Presently, this OS is running smoothly as are my peripherals, including my LAN networked printer. However,
    I am told by VMware Fusion email tech support that they do not support Vista Home Basic. They would support a number of other Windows OSs including Vista Business which I can readily afford, or Vista Ultimate which would be much more difficult monetarily.
    I am concerned that I will need Fusion's tech support in the future and thus am willing to do the upgrade to Vista Business or Ultimate if I have to. I have been informed that Home Basic is FAT32 but Business is NTFS; that FAT32 is Apple readable and writable, but NTFS is only readable. I am a newbie and don't know what that means.
    It appears from what I can understand on MS Windows support forum topics that Ultimate is more compatible with Home Basic. Could someone with technical expertise please help advise which way is best to go with this, and if I have to, which upgrade to choose; and, how to go about installing without messing up what is already working.
    I'd really appreciate help with this as I have over a month trying to get this right and have had to communicate with tech support of various companies, do several complete deletions of partitions and reinstalls of various OSs and other software needed to accommodate my PC needs. My frustration level is really high at this point. Thanks to whomever is wiling to help this struggling newbie.

    Thank you, The Hatter, for answering so quickly.
    You asked about my needs. I use Apple OS capable Word to create documents, but often need data from a PC-only CD that was loaded on my Toshiba laptop for these documents which I share with others via email attachment sometimes from PC side and sometimes from Apple side depending on whether I still have things to add to the file and of course need to print from PC side also. That's why Fusion's side-by-side and drag and drop capabilities are perfect for me (I actually used to try to email the document to myself and go to my Toshiba to retrieve it, complete the document and email back, but MS Outlook often failed to operate.) I also receive from a friend, sound files created in PC format that I previously used Roxio to burn to CD. (Haven't gotten this running yet, apparently info I saw online about which Roxio v. would work with VHome Basic was wrong).
    When I am traveling and away for 2-3 weeks, I need to have everything on one laptop so I gave up my iMac w/Tiger v10.4, which I loved, for a new Macbook Pro to get the duo core, with a 23" Cinema Display. After reading Apple discussion forum and talking to Apple Sales, decided to get Fusion to run both OS simultaneously (this part works beautifully). I need to be able to print from the PCVM (which I've finally resolved).
    RE XP: In my conversations with Fusion tech supp. I was given instructions to load my XP Pro directly in VM w/o Boot Camp, telling me BC was unnecessary because Fusion could do partitioning and everything else necessary, so I scrapped everything and tried to do a new install, but their detailed instructions wouldn't allow installation. When I emailed them of the problem, they didn't reply. I really needed to get my PCVM up and running so went back to scrubbing everything and beginning again using Boot Camp and Vista Home. If there is a way to use use my XP upgrade with or without BC, I'd be happy to, but don't know how to go about it. I ordered Vista Bus. full on a special promo online for $127 but it hasn't arrived yet, so I believe I could return it if I don't need it. Will I need to scrap everything again and start over, or can I install the XP Pro upgrade with where I am now? Will the Vista capable application software be able to work with XP? How do I check whether my current partition is NTFS? What is MacFUSE, do I need it, and if so where can I get it? Is it expensive? I've really over-extended having to purchase things I believed I needed to proceed.
    I also have a Seagate 500 firewire for backing up my Leopard using Time Machine. Boot Camp partitioned the 500 for Leopard and PC using FAT32, but Seagate TS tells me that I can't use both OSs and that's why I can't see the PC partition in the Fusion desk top. Fusion TS tells me that I can't use FAT32 to back up Vista. Stymied again! So, I just found a Seagate 300 Free Agent to back up the PC side if I need to I have 13 days to decide.
    Suggestions...instructions?
    Again, thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I'm really grateful. I have tried to keep notes on what I've done and how, but I've scrapped everything and redone things so many times, I'm just confused at this point.

  • Can I use Windows XP Home with Boot Camp and/or Parallels or VMFusion?

    I am planning on purchasing a new Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. I have a copy of Windows XP Home Edition that came with a 7 year old Compac computer, can it be used with either Boot Camp and/or Parallels or VMFusion? I REALLY don't want to purchase Windows if I can help it. Thanks!

    Read the boot camp requirements. I believe you will need a Windows disc that is stand alone. By that I mean a Windows disc that is not designed for a specific computer like your Compac. I believe that applies for Parallels and Fusion as well. Some of the newer disc that come with new computers may work since some of them are stand alone. I think your compac disc maybe married to your computer. You can try it when you get your Mac but it may not work.

  • I need to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic and need to know if I must back up all my bookmarks to a disk first.

    I have had on-going problems with communication between my Lexmark X3650 printer/scanner/copier and my Dell Vostro PC. Dell has instructed me to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic to my PC. I need to know if I will lose my Firefox bookmarks when I do this (I am waiting for them to send me the Vista disk before I can re-install). Will my bookmarks be saved on Firefox? Will I have to re-load my Firefox browser? I am certainly no computer whiz buy I simply cannot afford to lose all these links (collegiate workbooks and course-work submission links etc.). HELP!

    You can backup the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager.
    You can export the bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file:
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
    You can also create a JSON backup:
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
    An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.<br />
    Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks, so existing bookmarks are lost.<br />
    Importing an HTML backup will merge the imported bookmarks with existing bookmarks, so you do not lose the bookmarks that you already have, but you may get duplicate bookmarks if some already exist.

  • I have Vista Home Basic on my laptop and want to use it on my Imac. How do I get it on with no disks, as it came preloaded?

    I have a windows laptop with Vista Home Basic and need to use windows for course work.  How can I get it onto my Mac as I have no disks.  Laptop arrived with Vista pre-loaded.
    Thanks

    As I have said before, AppleHFS.sys for one thing can interfere.
    MacDrive or Paragon HFS help.
    Paragon works
    So yes if you can then use Paragon or something, though only one person has come here and really said they used Disk Utility. Not enough to endorse.
    Windows 8 CP is what I use and it is more stable reliable etc etc than Windows 7 was on Mac Pro 1,1.
    But why pop into someone's thread.

  • Cs3 and cs4 web standard compatible with vista home basic?

    Are Adobe CS3 and CS4 Web Standard compatible with Vista Home Basic 32bit?
    I only see Windows Vista Home Premium / Vista Business / Vista Enterprise / Vista Ultimate / XP listed as compatible.
    Many thanks.

    Vista didn't exist when CS3 was released and as such, there is no official statement regard compatibility of CS3 with Vista Home Basic.
    For CS4, we are very explicit. CS4 is not at all supported for Vista Home Basic (there are a number of networking and service support components that Microsoft leaves out of their Home Basic versions).

  • Boot camp windows vista

    does anyone know if windows vista will run off of boot camp?

    I think thats not correct. HP is selling there notebook with intel core duo and the say are VISTA CAPABLE .
    This is what they say
    "What's a Windows Vista Capable PC?
    The next generation Microsoft operating system—Microsoft Windows Vista—is coming soon. What will Windows Vista mean for you? It will offer new levels of ease, security and reliability, a new interface, and simple ways to organize and search for information on your PC.
    We've worked with Microsoft to help ensure that the PC you buy today can run Windows Vista when it's available. All of our new notebook and desktop PCs will be able to run Windows Vista* when properly configured.
    Windows Vista will be available in versions ranging from Windows Vista Home Basic for entry-level home users to Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Business, for those needing more robust features and functionality*.
    *Not all Windows Vista features are available for use on all Windows Vista Capable PCs. All Windows Vista Capable PCs will run the core experiences of Windows Vista, such as innovations in organizing and finding information, security, and reliability. Some features available in premium editions of Windows Vista—like the new Windows Aero user interface—require advanced or additional hardware. Check www.windowsvista.com/getready for details. "
