Boot Camp - DirectX 9.0c Support?

Hi
I don't have a mac, but I'm considering getting one as soon as new MBPs come out, hopefully around WWDC. As there are several apps requiring DirectX that I will have to run in Windows under boot camp, I was wondering if Boot Camp with Windows Vista support ALL DirectX 9.0c Applications, just as a windows computer would?
Thanks a lot for your help!

It should support it. Boot Camp is the full blown Windows. It is not an emulator. To ask more questions about Boot Camp, you might want to ask in the Boot Camp forum about compatibility:

  • How can you use Win 7 upgrade disk if Boot Camp 4 doesn't support XP or Vista?

    I've just purchased a Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade disk to upgrade my Win XP Pro. I haven't installed Lion or Boot Camp 4 yet but am concerned that if I need to reinstall Win 7 in the future the upgrade disk will require that Win XP Pro be installed first.
    If  my Win XP Pro isn't supported and can't be reinstalled in Lion/Boot Camp 4, does anyone know what my options would be?
    Can't get to Microsoft tech support without having a post-install product ID and their forums don't seem to cover this specific question for Mac/Boot Camp users or VMWare/Parallels users. I'm hoping that once activated that might be enough to turn the upgrade disk to a full version for reinstalling, but I'm not betting on it.
    Any help appreciated before I permanently remove my XP Boot Camp partition for a clean install of Win 7 Ultimate.
    Thanks

  • HT3777 Leopard 10.6.8  with Boot Camp 3 do not support Windows XP SP2???

    Hello!
    I have my MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.6.8 with Boot Camp 3 on it.Reading a BOOT CAM article I could see that it supports Windows XP SP2.I just installed Windows XP SP2...and when I am trying to use the drivers from MAC DVD it says that BOOT CAMP needs Windows 7.Why I can not use XP?Or where I can get the proper drivers?

    Your saying BC 3.4 is on the Mac installer disk? I picked mine up in august 2011 and it only has 3.1 on it if I remember right. How did you check it?
    As of today my BC Assistant says 3.4 but the Control panel in Windows only says 3.3, I figure it an't broke I'm not worried about it.
    When you insert the disk, it asks you what to do, Run or Open, select Open.
    Make a new folder on the desktop in XP, drag ALL the files over to it.
      Right click on the setup.exe and select one of the options:
    1)-Troubleshoot Compatibility, do what it suggests,
    2)-Select Properties / Compatibility / click Run this program in Compatibility mode: then select XP sp2 and work your way up.
    If anything pops up about permissions then right click on it again and select Run as Administrator.
    If it still won't work then open the Boot Camp folder / Drivers folder / and install each one manually.

  • Does Boot Camp or Virtual PC support firewire for camera input?

    I have found Parallels does not have a camera firewire driver. Has anyone found another solution in Windows XP?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I believe that Boot Camp supports firewire cameras. In addition, the newest version (1.1.2) has support for isight cameras. This leads me to believe that it supports camcorders, however I would download the boot camp beta an try your hardware with the software you would be using on Windows.

  • Boot camp 5 is not support for audio and mice in windows 8.1

    i upgrade to windows 8.1, but, no audio and mice is not working properly. i used boot camp 5. any one can help.

    Windows 8.1 x64 RTM is running without any problems on MacBook Pro 13" i7 16GB Memory as I upgraded last week.
    If you are using the Beta version of Windows 8.1 I suggest you wait until it is available to the General Public on October 17.
    If you have the RTM (I am a Microsoft Partner) then just install and then run the Windows Support Software for Bootcamp 5 and the proper drivers will be installed.

  • Why won't boot camp burn the windows support software to my disc?

    I have a Macbook Pro with retina display, just in case that matters. I bought it in early January, and I'm running OS X 10.8, I believe. My problem is that I installed windows 7 on my MBP fine, but now it won't connect or even detect my wireless connection. I did some research and I now believe that this is because I didn't install the windows support software. I tried burning it to a disc through boot camp, but it stops the burn about halfway through. It has some error message saying that it cannot burn to the disc; I've retried this several times only to get the same result. My MBP didn't come with the OS X disc and I've heard that this resolves the problem. If you have any information, I would greatly appricate it. Thanks in advance

    Download the support software and choose option 2
    Then choose a place to save it.

  • When trying to download Boot Camp Windows Support Software, error says: "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

    I use a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 on Mavericks and I've tried using the Boot Camp assistant to download support software for Windows 7. This gives the error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    Further, I tried to separately download Boot Camp 4 and 5. When I do this and try to install from Windows 7, it says that this version of Boot Camp is not for this computer and doesn't install. The result is that I have Windows 7 working and installed, but am unable to use the trackpad to rightclick, brightness settings, etc.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    You need to run Bootcamp Assistant and select only the menu item to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions. The download servers are extremely slow therefore it may take several hours to get the download.

  • Boot camp and windows 7 but window wont find usb to download support drivers

    Used Boot Camp to partition, downloaded support onto USB zip drive, installed Windows 7 fine I thought, but in Windows 7 now it will not find my USB so i can't download the support drivers from my zip drive back into Windows.  No internet found either (probably because i can't download the support drivers).  HELP QUICKLY please!!!

    Boot Camp in Windows has nothing to do with Boot Camp in OS X. So, there was no need for you to reinstall Leopard.
    Since you're using Leopard, your Leopard disc will have the 2.xx drivers, which, (apparently) will not install in Windows 7.
    You'll need to get a hold of the 3.0 drivers. The 3.1 update downloaded from the Apple site won't install without 3.0 drivers installed.

  • Boot Camp 3.1 support Magic Mouse?

    I have heard that the Boot Camp 3.1 Update support Magic Mouse, it's true?
    Does it means that I just on the Magic Mouse and start using it?
    (I mean no need to do something else before starting using it)

    Hi all,
    here's Apples official statement on what works and what not with MagicMouse and BootCamp http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3039

  • Late 2012 iMac 3TB does not support Boot Camp Assistant

    Got my new customized iMac 27' yeasterday. After installing some soft, I decided to install Windows 7 as second OS on Boot Camp. After clicking the Boot Camp Assistant icon, programm opens, and immediately it shows error "Boot Camp Assistaint does not support Windows installation on this iMac 3TB" or something like that (I have a russian version of dashboard/OS). Only option available at that moment - button "OK", which exits Boot Camp A|ssistant.
    So... Any suggestions on how to solve the problem? I really need Windows as second OS, and don't want to install it like a virtual/emulator machine.
    My customized iMac "loadout" is Core i7 3.4, 16Gb DDR, Nvidia GeForce 680MX 2Gb, 3TB Hard Drive.
    P.S. I thought this may be solved by separating Hard Drive into partitions (main, which is for Mac OS, and little tome for Windows, formated into MS DOS FAT system), still - this has not helped me.

    Try the Boot Camp Assistant when you are in OS X and download those and follow the directions in BCA utility.
    Then look up the Boot Camp forum. I suspect you thought this was MBP related forum, it is for 65 lb tower model (and well the new "nMP Late 2013 Mac Pro" http://www.apple.com/support/macpro/
    Boot Camp
    There is a support page too

  • Boot Camp - Windows support software server down?

    I have been attempting to download the Windows support software all day but it just sits there. This is a for a new Mac Mini 2014 2.6. Boot camp assistant is really driving me crazy! I chatted with someone at Apple who tried all kinds of other solutions besides investigating the actual issue. How do I get thru to Apple that there is an issue downloading this software??????

    Quite a few users have reported this. Apple, in their infinite wisdom, has removed a direct download feature. From Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support
    Boot Camp requirements by Mac model
    Use the table below to find out which version of Boot Camp and Windows are supported on your Mac:
    BCA: Use Boot Camp Assistant (BCA) to download the latest Boot Camp software for your Mac instead of manually downloading this software from the Apple Support website. The support software available from Boot Camp Assistant is newer than what is currently available as a manual download. Select the option to "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" in Boot Camp Assistant to automatically get the latest Windows drivers for your Mac as part of installation.
    The version is 5.1.5766.
    In some cases, switching your DNS servers from OpenDNS to Google DNS or vice-a-versa seems to help. This is a hit-and-miss solution.

  • Messed up Windows 8.1 install after using Boot Camp 4 drivers

    Hey guys, I just finished successfully installing Windows 8.1 on my Mac with Lion. There were no issues there, but I royally screwed up the Windows partition after trying to install the Boot Camp support software from a USB flash drive. I didn't look into it enough and am now realizing (after the fact of course) that I needed Boot Camp 5.1 for support for Windows 8.1!
    I realized that something was wrong when I tried to install the drivers and software from my Boot Camp 4.0.4 and I received a prompt on Windows telling me that it expected Windows 7 instead and then asked me to run in compatibility mode to see if that works. I stupidly clicked yes and then my Windows locked the screen on me. So of course, I unlocked it and the display is all messed up with my battery indicator at the top left, most of the screen is black and a small portion on the right side is not black. It instantly locks itself again. I can only repeat the process with no way to correct it (that I know of).
    Is this install of Windows 8.1 salvageable? I am getting the new drivers from Boot Camp 5.1 now, but it won't help if I can't even get to the desktop for Windows. Help!

    Right - this would be the easiest thing to do. Will I have issues the Windows license being activated again? I have actually never had to reinstall before so I have never had license issues.

  • Boot Camp Version 1.3b expired.. need to update but don't have windows.

    So let me run you through what I did so far.
    I got a version of Boot Camp 1.3 beta. I successfully installed it and began to go through the steps to set up windows. I skipped the burning the windows CD option and went straight to the partitioning. I created a 20gig partition named "Bootcamp."
    I then realized I needed to burn the windows CD from Boot Camp in order to install it. So I quit the Boot Camp Assistant Application. The option to burn the windows CD was no longer available so I scrapped the Boot Camp Assistant, re-downloaded the 1.3 beta version and installed it.
    Still no opportunity to burn the windows drivers CD disc. So I quit the assistant once again. I attempted to re-open the Boot Camp Assistant and I got an error message telling me it expired. So I set the date back on my clock to a date before the beta version expired (prior to Sept. 30, 2007).
    Then, I got this error message:
    This version of Boot Camp Assistant is not supported in Mac OS X v10.5. Use Boot Camp Assistant 2.0, located in /Applications/Utilities/.
    And that's where I am right now. I still have to have the date set back to before Sept. 30th, 2007 to get to the error message above or else it tells me the version is expired.
    So I've determined that I need to update Boot Camp to version 2.0 or higher, except I don't have windows installed on my computer yet. The mac support page tells me that I have to open windows and then install the updates to the latest version of boot camp... which I obviously can't do because I haven't installed windows yet.
    So I'm stuck with a partitioned drive and I cannot use the Boot Camp Assistant. I need the assistant to burn the windows install CD that I need..
    I'm in quite a pickle. Any help would be appreciated.. thank you.
    If you need more information let me know I'll try provide the information needed to fix this issue.
    Thank you.

    I don't have the Leopard disc because a man updated it for me in the mac store when I brought my laptop in for repairs.
    You need to get that disk to use Boot Camp. Mac OS X 10.4 disks don't contain the drivers.
    So, I have this Mac OSX install disc.. do I just insert it? And then what? How do I go about installing windows after that? I'm a little confused about how to get to the drivers and what to do I'm just not sure.
    Once you've partitioned the drive and installed Windows, start up the computer into Windows and insert the disk. The installer should automatically start.
