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.

Oh...and I was supposed to know that how, since your PC came with Windows 8?
You shouldn't keep things a secret.
Try this driver.

Need to install Standard VGA Graphics Adapter

My computer initially started with a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter but now its gone and some applications won't run properly. How can I fix this?

Hi,
The Computer indeed can't work properly without VGA Graphics Adapter. Did you remove it manually or it gone accidently?
If you did it, get it back.
If not, like arnavsharma said, check its status from Device Manager. And then try right-click on the 'Standard VGA' adapter and select 'Update driver' from the list.

the standard VGA Graphic Adapter cannot start (code10)
i've install the driver several time but still the driver cannot start and the sleep mode cant be enterer
please help

Hi:
Until the graphics drivers are properly installed, sleep mode will not work.
This would the the graphics driver you should be installing.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-79517-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
If it is, then please click on the standard vga adapter in the device manager.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Standard VGA Adapter window.
Now you should see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

I managed to install windows 7 professional x64 bits but however when i tried to install the drivers using the OSX MAC CD using boot camp, it prompt me boot camp x 64 is unsupported with this computer model. Then i tried the method by right click the bootcamp x64 and managed to install the drivers. However, i still couldnt manage access the internet and it prompts me no networking hardware detected...Any idea how can i solve it?
P.S i tried updating my bootcamp version 3.0.4 in mac os with bootcamp x64 version 3.1 exe but it shows me weird wording..
my bootcamp version in windows 7 is 2.1..

Uninstall 2.x totally
Use CCleaner Registry tool
Do whatever you need to to nuke the existing Apple programs and folders hidden here and there also.

Is it possible to install windows 7 on my macbook from a removable hard drive using boot camp? How would I do this?

Is it possible to install windows 7 on my macbook from a removable hard drive using boot camp?
How would I do this?

If you have Lion installed, and run Boot Camp, it will create the boot flash for you, just followe the tutorial on screen. As far as I remember, this was not possible prior to Lion.

How do you switch iMac 27" display when in Boot Camp (Windows 7)?

Hello,
My 27" iMac works great as an external display as long as the iMac is booted into OS X and I hit command-F2.
When I boot my iMac into Boot Camp (Windows 7) however, hitting command-F2 doesn't work to use my iMac as an external display.
Is there any way to get the 27" iMac to enter external display mode if you have booted it into Windows 7 rather than OS X?
Thanks!

I have the same problem, 64bit Win7 Home Ed. loaded with all the recent updates including a Bootcamp patch from last week.
I posted on 9/2/10 and haven't gotten a reply. Did a lot of Google searching but only found it is a problem many have, but that no "real" solution is available.
Since I have had issues in Win7 after it crashes this way and after on/off (unlike you), I'm not willing to mess with it anymore.
I doubt Microsoft will commit to fixing this and it's not likely to be a top priority for Apple.

HT201541 Mac mini Late 2014 Boot Camp Windows 7 sound issue

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with my Mac mini (Late 2014) and Boot Camp (Windows 7). The problem I'm having is that there's no audio when I boot into Windows 7, though everything works fine under OS X. After installing Boot Camp and Windows, the audio worked perfectly up until yesterday, and now there's nothing. I've tried updating as well as uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, but this hasn't helped at all.
When I open Volume Mixer and Playback Devices, the sliders show that audio is playing, but I hear nothing - either from the built-in speaker or when I headphones.
The Device Status indicates that "This device is working properly" and that the drivers are up to date. Tthe following drivers are installed:
dmk.sys
HdAudio.sys
ksthunk.sys
portcls.sys
SysFxUI.dll
WMALFXGFXDSP.dll
Has anyone else encountered this issue, or does anyone have any tips on how I might fix this?

Is the volume Muted? The Mac has an Audio database of devices and volumes in NVRAM, so an SMC Reset or PRAM reset might help. Please see this link for appropriate keys Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs - Apple Support.

the standard vga graphics adaptor of my hp laptop is not working its saying code 10. its an hp pavilion dv6 model 6b60sa.. intel coreTM i3-2330M [email protected] 2.20GHz. 64 bit

Hi:
You need to install the graphics driver if you see a standard vga adapter listed.
You should be seeing two adapters...Intel HD graphics and AMD Radeon HD 6490M .

Boot camp, windows xp and macbook pro-install problem

MacBook Pro 1,1
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Boot Camp Windows XP
I installed a SSD and want to put Windows XP back on the computer.
I had Windows XP running under Boot Camp on my old HDD.
During the Windows XP install when it tells you to
press ENTER to install Windows XP
press R to repair a Windows install
press F3 to exit
I can't get the install to accept any input from the keyboard.
I tried searching the discussions but I'm not finding the answer.
I'm sure it is just something simple I'm not doing. I had Windows XP
running on this MacBook Pro before.
Thanks

I wonder if your XP works with SSD or some SSDs have had trouble with Windows on Macs...
I'd search out PC forums + brand SSD for starters users with XP.
Everyone I run across though have moved on to Windows 7 64-bit.

Boot Camped Windows 8.1 looks low quality?

Hello,
I just recently Boot Camped my Late 2013 Macbook Pro 15 inch so I could play Windows-based games. Everything runs fine, but the only thing that bugs me is the quality of the games, or basically any window. The resolution is fine, everything is proportioned correctly. The taskbar and the blue "frame" that surround the windows are in a crisp, HD quality. But the content inside the windows is soft, and moderately pixelated. For example, when I go the the Google homepage, on Mac, the Google logo is very crisp and looks HD. When I go to the Google homepage on my Boot Camped Windows, the logo is pixelated. Same thing goes for games. Is there any way that I can fix this? To make the games and windows look "better" in a higher quality? Thank you in advance.

Please help with my Boot Camp/Windows problems

I need to install windows on to my iMac to continue a course I’m taking at uni. Sadly it’s been a nightmare so far.
I backed up all of my data and opened Boot Camp Assistant and tired to partition a section of my hard drive for windows. However it gave me an error each time I tired. After asking around I was told to buy idefrag and that should fix the problem - it didn’t. I was then told to format the hard disk and reinstall OSX. I did that and Boot Camp was now happy to partition my hard drive.
I insert a copy of legitimate copy of Windows 7 Professional (x64) and clicked the Install Windows button when Boot Camp prompted me to.
Windows installation menus open after a quick restart but quickly tells me it cant see any partitions/drives to install on.
I googled the problem read that the partition should be formatted to NTFS for windows seven to install and that OSX wont do that. I installed a free program called NTFS-3G and that formatted the partition to NTFS.
Windows now saw the drive and went through the installation process. After it has gone through its automated routine it restarts the Mac and takes me to a "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD..."
I press Enter and it takes me back to the very first installation menu and restarts the whole thing until it has once again gone through its automated routine and restarted the Mac and told me to press any key.
This happened ever time. During the install I am presented with the options of "Installing Windows" or "repairing windows". When I tried the automatic repair it told me it could find no fault.
So I started again by deleting the partition from within OSX and making a new one and installing windows and restarting but this time remove the windows 7 disk.
All this did was boot the Mac up in OSX. I then restarted the Mac and held down the options key. This presented me with the choice of booting from the Mac HDD or the windows partition. I chose the windows partition and it takes me to a black screen with a flashing line/prompt and does nothing else.
I assumed Windows 7 might not like my Mac for some strange reason so brought a copy of Vista business with SP2 (x86).
I deleting the partition from within OSX and made a new one. I began installing Vista. It told me it could only install on NTFS formatted partitions/drives.
Once again I used NTFS-3G to formatted the partition to NTFS and relaunced vista.
It installed fine and restarted itself. Once again it took me back to the first installation screen just as windows 7 did. I tried restarting without the disk (hold options again) and it took me back to the black screen with the flashing line and sat there forever.
I restarted the Mac with the OSX 10.6.1 install disk in the drive and it booted up ignoring the disk. I launched the disk from desk top and looked through the install options hoping to find some drivers or extra installs for boot camp/windows. I couldn’t see anything.
I don’t know what else to try.
I have a 21.5' iMac:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac10,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: IM101.00CC.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.52f9

Re-read in the PDF guide in Boot Camp Assist where it tells you to format the "BOOTCAMP" FAT volume when in Windows.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
But I have really only one question:
Was this an electronic school download edition? they offer students Windows 7 Pro. If this was an electronic version from school, fine, but it has to be burned at *reduced 2x speed* or it won't work, and can have various (and different for everyone) problems, BUT: it is pretty well known and semi "documented."
You do NOT need NTFS driver. That is totally wrong.
Sorry you bought Vista, I used it but once Windows 7 went Beta and then RC I've used 7 and never looked back (what Vista should/could have been but was not, even with SP2).
