Bootcamp/ browder error?

Im using windowx XP runing under apple bootcamp to use some aplications, but I have a problem with my browser... I can open all websites, but spacially www.myspace.com and www.hotmail.com take so long to open, and they have alot of mistakes, that make me unable to read my emails/msg or anything...
I have tryed with internet explorer, firefox and opera and have the same problem with the 3 browsers..

Re: ATI HD 2600 PRO WINDOWS 7 64 BIT BOOTCAMP DRIVER ERROR

Okay - I *think* I was able to get the modified INF to work properly now - it turns out there were many more instances where changes needed to be made that my original procedure did not address. The updated procedure is below with additional steps added.
Procedure to manually update iMac Radeon HD 2600 PRO video card under Windows 7 (64 bit).
Rationale:
> Boot Camp drivers incorrectly identify the video card my 24" iMac (Dual core; 2.8 GHz - graphics card is shown as a "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT") - this has been a long-standing problem when using my iMac under Boot Camp. There have been reports about how to update the drivers manually by obtaining them from ATI/AMD then installing them.
Background:
> When I was previously running Windows XP, I was able to perform the graphics driver update per the online instructions, without any problems.
> When I updated to Windows 7, 64-bit (because I was updated my Mac OS to 10.7 [Lion] and Windows XP was no longer supported in Boot Camp), I could no longer update the graphic card drivers to the Win7 64-bit version (it was giving an error that the driver was not supported).
> The solution I finally came upon was to modify the installer .INF file that comes with the drivers from AMD. I take no credit for this, except from the fact that I adapted a procedure I found for doing this for graphics cards in notebooks. The original place I found this is here <http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/370695-guide-upda ting-your-ati-drivers-manually.html>.
NOTE & DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to fully understand every step that is going on here, nor if every step is needed. I based this on the procedure referenced in link immediately above and it seems to be working for me (that is, my graphics card driver was updated for Win7, 64-bit just like had been previously under WinXP) - YMMV.
>> This procedure was done with the AMD Radeon™ Desktop Video Card Drivers for "64 bit Windows Vista/Windows 7 "; Version 11.7, posted 2011-07-27 (main page: http://support.amd.com/US/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx)
1. Driver only was downloaded from AMD.
2. Downloaded file was installed to default location: C:\ATI
3. Gather info about the graphics card:
a. Open the Device Manager (Start>Computer [right-click]>Properties)
b. Expand the "Display Adapters" item to reveal the GPU (mine was listed as "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT")
c. Right-click on the GPU and select "Properties"
d. Click the "Details" tab in the Properties window.
e. Click the drop-down under "Property" (top item should say "Device description) - find the item in the list that says "Hardware Ids"
>> There were four values for my card, shown below:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
f. Right click on the first value and select "Copy" - paste it into a separate document.
g. Go back and click the drop-down under "Property" - find the item in the list that says "Inf section" (it was far down the list).
h. Copy the value shown there and paste into a separate document; my value read: ati2mtag_M76
4. Modify the INF file from AMD:
a. First thing I did was make a copy of the directory containing the files that were installed in step 2 (located at C:\ATI) - my directory was called "11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd".
b. Go into this path: C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF
c. Find the INF files (icon is a document with a gear on it), that start with "C7..." and "CH..." (mine were called "C7122569" & "CH122569").
d. Open the "C7..." file (it opens in Notepad).
e. The first thing I did was find and replace all existing instances of "M76" in the INF (I arbitrarily replaced it with the following value "M7a6"). There are a number of existing references to this property type in the original INF.
> I do not know if this is absolutely necessary but I found that it helped me to distinguish what was originally there with what I was modifying.
f. Do a "Find" command for "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" (if you search for a shorter phrase, be aware there are other "2600 PRO" cards in the list).
> The exact line I found was <"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9589>
g. Replace that line with the Inf section value and the first Hardware ID value, using the same format as the original line. The new entry I made read (notice that each successive entry has an addition <space> between the end of 'PRO' and the ending double quote):
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
h. Next do a find for all instances of "ati2mtag_RV630"; for every instance you will need to replace that value with " ati2mtag_M76".
i. Next do another find for "RV630" and make sure to replace all instances with "M76" (this is to catch the couple of places where it doesn't have the "ati2mtag" prefix)
j. Close the file, saving your changes.
k. Repeat steps 4d - 4i, using the "CH..." file.
> I personally do not think this is needed since I believe the "C7…" INF is for Windows 7 and "CH…" is for Vista, but I modified both anyway.
5. Update the graphics driver using the modified INF files:
a. Go back to the Device Manager and expand the "Display Adapters" item again to show the "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" GPU
b. Right-click on the GPU and select "Update Driver Software..."
c. In the resulting window, choose "Browse my computer for driver software".
d. I navigated to the "C7..." file along the following path: <C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF>
e. At this point, I was shown a window that showed "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" twice (that's all that was in the list). I selected the first instance and it moved on.
f. I got a warning that the driver was unsigned, obviously I allowed it to move forward with the installation.
g. The updating proceeded and the screen momentarily went black, twice. After the second time the description in the Device Manager changed to reflect that the GPU was now "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO".
FINAL NOTE: as of right now everything seems to be running properly and I have experienced no problems or graphical glitches. If anyone reading this sees an obvious problem with what I've done, please let me know. I have run benchmarks between this and the standard installed mobility driver and I get about a 10% increase in overall FPS (using the free "NovaBench" app by NovaWave).

look what this guy said:
Hi Guys,
I've spent a few hours over the last week trying to find something that works to update the driver. Using the Mobility Modder from Driverheaven I managed to install the Catalyst 7.8 but not the actual driver - you need to modify the INF for this. The only problem is that I can't be sure what the differences are between the mobility 2600 and the standard-computer 2600. I would like to assume it's just a few settings such as power saving and interal/ external displays.
I tried to modify the INF and used the settings for the standard graphics card. It worked fine, but I put the original Apple driver back on because I didn't want to find out I was overclocking the Graphics CPU accidentally.
After using mobility modder I added this line just after the mobility 2300 graphics card entry:
"ATI MOBILITY RADEON X2600 XT " = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN1002&DEV9583
If you notice and compare the mobility and standard entries, the mobilities have the same ati2mtag but followed by M-something rather than RV-something.
This appears to direct the INF to the correct setup of the Catalyst software for that card - as I say, I used the settings for the standard 2600 card and it installed ok. I didn't try any games though.
On another note, I'm resisting doing anything further or testing any games until I have the screen issue resolved - after exchanging the naff 20" screen with it's horizontal shading (a dark shade at the top to a light shade at the bottom - very noticeable with darkish solid colours!) I've found my new (more costly!) 24" is having some problems with picture breakup, though so far only in Vista which I installed via Bootcamp.
I wish Apple would get there act together. It's my first Apple and I was expecting great things! So far, I would have had less hassle if I had built my own computer with Vista on and thats saying something!!
Matt
he added the RV630 string. but i tried that with my exact windows xp driver device ids and yes it still completed the installation successfully,but the fps sill stayed the same

ATI HD 2600 PRO WINDOWS 7 64 BIT BOOTCAMP DRIVER ERROR

as with the windows xp bootcamp insatllation my grahics card the ATI RADEON PRO HD 2600 shows up under device manager as the Ati MOBILITY 2600 XT, this is NOT correct and wasnt correct when i had windows xp installed via bootcamp but the online trick/fix worked by installing the newer updated drivers for the ATI RADEON HD 2600 PRO by manually pointing the installer to the newly download drivers for xp and once that was done my card read correctly under the device manegr in xp and my performance was quadrupled !!!! however since i have now installed Windows 7 64 bit,the same problem appears agin but when i download the correct 64 bit windows 7 drivers form the ati site and even the dedicated bootcamp windows 7 64 bit drivers nad attempt to point the installer to them the error appears "This driver does not appear to work with this version of windows" so basically the old xp bootcamp fix doesnt work with windows 7 64 bit with bootcamp running. There has got to be an easy workaround or fix for this! Tons of windows 7 64 bit bootcamp users are experienceing this install error and without the driver being installed and updating the card to what it truly is and NOT THE MOBILITY VERSION THAT IS BEING DETECTED, we can all run games like before in xp with way better performace. until then we are all screwed and are forced to run the updated drivers for the mobility XT card. PLEASE PLEASE HELP US IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING. look around on the apple bootcamp forums and you will see a bunch of people complaining about the same thing with no solution for over 2 years. i have sent an email to AMD formerly ATI requesting assistance but i am sur ethey will just blow me off. this is a very easy problem that could be fixed by a tech savy person. WHoever can fix this problem at least for me personally,i will gladly sned you at least $100 via paypal for your hard work and time. without this being fixed i have no choice but to buy anothermac with a better graphics card since the imac i have is not upgradeable beyond RAM. Like i said this was the same problem with windows xp in bootcamp before i installed lion. the fix worked. i dont want to hear that the card is NOT a true hd 2600 PRO whn i know it is and have succesfully used the driver hack before with awesome results. it is NOT a mobility card whatsoever. it is an ATI RADEON 2600 HD with 256 megs of VRAM,not the best but still ok to run even the latest pc games with bootcamp. Please please help me! Thank you very much in adfvance for reading this!

Below is what I had to do to work around this issue - I've been running with the modified graphics drivers for over a week now, including running some games under Windows 7. Apologies if this is too basic, but I figured I would write it out step-by-step for anyone who needed the background, rationale, plus instructions:

Help needed with delete of bootcamp partition, error message 'Couldn't unmount disk'

Hello all
Sorry if this issue has been repeated elsewhere, I did search but there wasn't a discussion relating to my specific issue.
When we bought the iMac a couple of years ago, my husband partitioned the hard drive to run Windows via Bootcamp. Having got used to the Mac and experiencing the frustration between having to reboot to access each partition I have decided to restore the Mac to factory settings and install Parallels 8 so I can continue to use Office and Coreldraw).
So having backed up all of my files, I started the Mac up holding the 'Alt' key and then loaded the Recovery HD mode followed by Disk Utility. I then selected Bootcamp and erased all data from the partition. [Note: there are 2 files left which it won't allow me to erase through this method]
I then selected the main drive and the tab 'Partition', from the layout I then selected Bootcamp and clicked the minus button. I get the message confirming which partition I am about to delete and hit remove. I then get the error message 'Partition failed: couldn't unmount disk'.
I would be very grateful for some help please? I am not the best techy person but happy to give anything a go.
Just to mention there is nothing left on the Mac that I want to keep, therefore if there is an easier way than having to delete the partition then happy to hear it.
Thanks
Tara

Bootcamp Partitioning Error?

Hello
I am trying to use bootcamp to partition a disk of windows 8.1 onto my Mac. I can go through up until the point where it tells me to install. Then it starts installing and gives me this error message after a few seconds:
Your disk could not be partitioned
An error occurred while partitioning the disk
So I really really need to figure out a way around this.
I am using a mac from mid 2011 and I am trying to install windows 8.1 64 bit.
If you can help me out that would be great.
(P.S. I did set up this windoes 8.1 disk with parallels on my computer originally but then I uninstalled it so I could use bootcamp and then use parallels with it later. Could having already used the disk be the problem?)
Thanks for reading my problem

Maybe this can help
I have been trying to make a partition lately for windoes 8.1
I have OSK Mavericks and I tried both using bootcamp to make a partition and then I tried using disk utility to make a partition. I have looked up how to fix it such as verifying the disk or verifying the disk on the repair drive. I have also tried typing in that command in the Command+S startup.
(Btw the first time I tried partitioning through Bootcamp it was working but then I ejected my usb as it was making the partition and it gave me an error. Partitioning has been giving me errors ever sense that.)
(sorry about the weird white highlighting)

BootCamp Assistant Error : Your bootable USB drive could not be created. "An error occurred while formatting the disk."

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate .iso file saved onto a "Mac OS Extended (Journal)" formatted USB flash drive. I am trying to install it with BootCamp Assistant and I keep getting the error message : Your bootable USB drive could not be created. "An error occurred while formatting the disk."
I have previously installed Windows 7 on my Mac (and it worked flawlessly - same .iso file), but I uninstalled it because I didn't partition enough space on my hard drive. I have used several flash drive to try and install and none have worked.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Bootcamp Utility Error When Trying to Delete Partition

My hard drive is almost full and I need to delete my 50 GB Windows partitions. When I try to do it using Bootcamp Utility I get an error message. Not sure how relevant this is, but I upgraded to Yosemite a few months ago. Any suggestions?

Please check whether clearing the Contribute preferences helps you.
To Clear the preference, quit Contribute, and then delete the Contribute CS5 folder in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\ and also run the following command " reg delete "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Contribute 6 " /f " if you are using Contribute CS5. Reconnect to the site and try the same scenario.
Note that, if you clear the preferences then no connection will be listed in Contribute, you need to recreate the connections. It will be like a fresh installation.

Bootcamp installation error in 10.6.8

Im running Snow leopard 10.6.8 and MacbookPro 5,3... 2.8ghz core 2 duo (late 2009)
So recently my parallel's dekstop file had errors so i uninstalled it completely with clean my mac.
So the next step for me is to install parallel's desktop 6 and the problem occurs when i insert the windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
My mac wont read the windows dvd, so i thought it was the parallel's error,
I went and make a new partition for BOOTCAMP but the final step where it needs the windows 7 dvd it fails to read.
And its not the superdrive, because inserting the Snow Leopard, movie dvd, song cds is flawless.
my brother has the same laptop as me and running the 10.6.6 os it was fine, istalled it beautifully.
My Question is :
Is there another way so i dont have to downgrade to 10.6.6 to be able to read windows7 dvd.
Should i be running 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 ?

nope it does not show in finder sidebar or desktop...
this is what i finally did :
1. use the snowleopard dvd that came along with my laptop, put it in hold c while booting...
2.once it booted to 10.6 i insert the windows 7 dvd... its there....
3.before i make a partition for windows via bootcamp... i updated to 10.6.6 (downloaded from apple.com) and the windows7 64 bit still shows on my desktop...
4. so i go on and install the 10.6.8 combo updates.... windows 7 64 bit is no longer showing in my desktop...
so i think its the 10.6.8 fault

Bootcamp drivers Error - Key Agent

Hi All,
I have recently reinstalled fresh Bootcamp (Windows 7 x64) on my iMac running Yosemite. However I'm having difficulty installing the drivers, I had to first bypass the issue with the x64bit drivers but running it through CMD but I get the Errors
"Service 'Key Agent/Mac HAL' (Keyagent/MacHALDrivers) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
I have tried following the instructions that seemed to be the answer for this:
I had the exact same problem, only on a 17" MBP. In my case, Win7 event manager reported that BootCamp 3.2 Services failed to install, in particular the KeyAgent service (and without that you get no Apple keyboard and functions and apparently the BootCamp icon doesn't show up in the system tray).
Event Manager said the BootCamp installer did not have sufficient permissions, so I went to dial down the User Account Control (UAC) settings (in fact, I turned it off). What I should have seen when BootCamp 3.2 update was running was a window to ask my permission to continue (allow the software to install). Instead, there was a silent failure.
OK, so by turning off UAC that gives it permission in advance (you have to reboot after changing the UAC settings in order to ensure that it is truly OFF). After rebooting, I went to Programs and Features and found BootCamp Services as a software item. I selected "Repair" and after another reboot, I was back in business! Keyboard is now fine (including the disk eject button, which I wanted working). Then I went back to turn on UAC to its default level (one notch below highest setting). It is useful (normally) to have this on.
Ask the Windows Help system if you don't know how to find the UAC settings to give this a try. Hope it helps you.
I have followed these instructions, tried on all different UAC settings, (including resets) and by running repairs on the program in Programs and Features and but rerunning it in CMD but the same evil error keeps getting in my way.
Anyone had and solved this issue recently? Can you install these drivers another way?
Regards.

Bootcamp displays error, says i need at least 10g of free space... I have 20+

In the beginning stages of set up bootcamp displays an error saying i need at least 10g of free space on my startup disk. My hardrive has over 20g free... Help?

Windows needs more than 20GB. I recommend 60GB minimum. You might get Windows to istall in 20GB but it won't run. You won't have any space for page files, programs, temp files, data, etc.
And yes the space needs to be contiguous. Plus you need to leave enough free space, 15% of your disk size, for OSx to run.

Bootcamp Assistant Error

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro that I had Windows 7 RC installed on and after the 10.5.7 update i decided to reinstall Windows for various reasons.

When I select #1, File:New offers only Blank Disk Image or Disk Image from Folder...; Disk Image from (Select a Device)... is inactive (greyed out).
When I select #2, File:New:Disk Image from Disk1s0 (name of disc) is available.
When I select #3, same as #2.
When I try to make a disk image (DVD/CD Master) from either #2 or #3, I get the same result:
"Unable to create "[name].cdr" - Input/output error."
Could the disc be copy-protected somehow? Seems unlikely, it's a pretty simple disc, with some dictionary software on it. Or is Disk Utility unable to deal with an ISO disc? I know that the Windows/Linux equivalent to a .dmg is called .iso, but apparently Disk Utility can't make such images?
I tried the freeware utility Burn, which "Failed: There was a problem creating the image." Says it uses the same Apple engine as Disk Utility.
However, the shareware CDRevolution did manage to make an image file (its own ".cdrev" format, unreadable by Disk Utility), and did burn what appears to be a perfect copy of the CD. So my initial problem is now solved.
I'm still wondering why Disk Utility couldn't handle it.

Bootcamp partition error.

I get this message appears every time I try to partition my MacBook, The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved, message. Underneath it also gives the message, "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again." What should I do? I have tried to lower the amount that I partition and doing a 7-pass clear of my free area. I have 45 GB unused and I want to partition 21 Gb.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the 'some files cannot be moved' message you saw indicates that the BootCamp Assistant cannot find enough *free contigeous diskspace* to make the Windows partition in the size you want.
A 7-pass clearance of your current free diskspace doesn't help since the free space is too 'cluttered' all over your harddisk.
Have a read in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12132221&#12132221 for maybe a solution.

Stefan

Help Please. Bootcamp installation error. Mac newbie

Hello.
I just bought a brand new 24" iMac about two weeks ago. Downloaded BootCamp beta today, updated all software and firmware. Installed bootcamp, installed Windows Media Center 2005 SP2. Before that I created a new 32gb partition to keep the FAT system the same. This is my first Mac, I love OS X, unfortunately I need to run ESRI GIS software which is only PC compatible. Anyway, Windows installs, I try ejecting the CD, and it would not ehect. I restarted the computer to go back to OS X, but the disc never ejected, and it reads off the installation disc. I can not boot OS X now. How can I get the disc out, without OS X? And/Or what should I do to safe the least amount of hassle. I installed this POS OS on its own partition. I am very windows and computer literate, but this one just seems to scratch my head. My nervous than anything, spent over $2700 said and done, and I don't feel like problems within two weeks already. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You

Awesome links. Also helped me. I sold my powerbook g4 before because of terrible it was to run virtual pc ... now debating if I should do bootcamp or parallels option ... probably going with parallels ...
Smart idea: My advice is to install BootCamp (with fat partition/Vol) but use Parallels with that as its Win Drive.
*Virtual pc is an Emulator which is utterly different technology and with heavy overheads.*
Don't believe most of the negative stuff you'll read here about parallels - it's almost all wrong/caused by misunderstanding.
Pre-leopard (which i don't use) BootCamp is BETA. Don't trust it.
Use parallels and have it use the Windows Partition.
It's not emulation - in most case it's stable, megafast flexible and reliable.
It is 'Virtualisation - a technology around in Mainframes for years and the Virtual Machine approach is the way of the future (on most platforms):
one example : people have argued for VM Fusion (or BootCamp) over Parallells because 'Parallels only uses one processor and VM will use 2 - or 4.. and 'BootCamp is 'Native'....
Wrong.
VM will use 2 - but in doing so usually slows the Mac down unnecessarily - with Parallels, The VM gets one or more processor/cores... the OS X Stream usually gets its own one or more processors/cores...
Parallels IS 'Native'Intel.
*BootCamp (pre-Leopard) is BETA*. (=no support... and you'll get little when it isn't because BETA almost all your problems will be with "third party products" like Windoze or Windoze Apps doing truly stoopid things.. I doubt you can get much M$ support for running windoze under BootCamp or any of the VM solutions... not that you get much M$ support anyway
*Apple are never really going to support Windoze - why shd they: NOT their product... Vice versa.*
Parallels is usually faster than fusion VM and often faster than booting into windoze.
(Exceptions : fancy 3d grafix cards - just a driver issue - which is still an issue with the others anyway and is being upgraded all the time)
Otherwise, It's often even faster than equivalent 'Native Windoze' Boxen (no I don't really know why either ... .
Parallels and other VM products allow you to run multiple VMs: 95, 98,XP,Vista,Linux... at supa high speed and all in their own windows while OS X continues 'doing its stuff'!!
Amazing stuff: If you have any brains these days, you really only need to buy ONE PC: a good Intel Mac, and run the best set up & optimised VM product you can find, and whatever OSs you fancy!
For my money - ATM, that's a Mac with windoze partitions on drives and a top quality VM product like Parallels...
(A lot of 'non technical' ppl simply don't 'get' this stuff... wikipedia can help, google reviews, benchmarks etc.. - e.g. grab a fast Flash drive.. format as HFS+ and use from OS X => as fast as possible. Format as Windoze, use on/from Mac and it may be 10 times as slow, V/V and so on....)
With OS X, Parallels, correctly-formatted Win Drives, correctly setup and optimised you really have the best of all possible worlds. BUT: stay in the Mac world. DON'T use rubbishy windoze programs that were NOT designed to work in a Virtualised environment (MacDrive etc etc) or you will get probs (use TCP/IP Networking or Shared folders etc instead - not that you really need much of anything like MacDrive, anyway the Mac & VM can read and write all that...)
My ('post College') Kids all switched to Macs set up this way.
They only ever use BottCamp for some games.
They do have Parallels but rarely need to use any Windoze stuff anyway.. - oh and 'They are SO Cool" and "we love them.."
They'll never go back (sell yr M$oft shares short
Best of luck.

Bootcamp - Runtime Error

Hey, I have installed Boot Camp and it worked perfect. Then is said there were some new updates, so of course I agreed to update (104 updates). After that when I tried to access the Windows partition a black screen came up right after that "Microsoft Corporation" thing. It was a black screen with some numbers in the upper left corner. After that the screen with the updates came up again and it said this:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program C:/Windows /system32/rundll32.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."
What is happening, and what should I do?

I forgot to write that I cant access Windows at all because it just keeps shutting down after the error...

Bootcamp/ browder error?
