Bootcamp problems on 24" Imac

So I installed windows 7 ultimate on my 24" Imac 2.93GHZ with a Nvida GT 120.
I installed the boot camp software on windows, which installed the graphics driver and everything.
Anyway so I downloaded Dungeons and Dragons online cause I wanted to see how the performance is.
When I run it, it says no sutible graphics drivers were found, check to see if your system meets the requirements.
Which it does, the game is quite old and could run on a old Geforce 6600.
So I went to Nvidia to look for the driver, I thought I found the right one, downloaded it, but it didn't work saying that I didn't have the card. Am I supossed to download the mobile version of this driver?
Thanks!

I think you would get more hits on your question if you posted it on one of the Bootcamp forums. One I'd recommend is:

Windows 7 bootcamp problem, for my iMac

I am trying to use bootcamp to instal Windows 7 on my iMac desktop, But I keep getting a message saying no support download is availible.
What do i do to get bootcamp working? I need windows for School for my engineering class and C++ classes. Can Anyone Help?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You are running Snow Leopard. On Snow Leopard, you can't download the Boot Camp drivers from Apple because you have got drivers on the Snow Leopard DVD that came with your Mac or you bought. Just skip the step to download drivers

Windows 7 Bootcamp problem?

Hello people,
Let me start from the beginning. I have been trying to make a bootcamp partition on my iMac mid 2007 to run windows 7 on. This has been a very bumpy road so far and now I'm stuck at a bump. So far, this is what all I have done:
1. Use bootcamp support to create a bootcamp partition.
2. Install windows 7 from disk.
This is where it gets bumpy. At the completing installation portion of this, my screen goes black, and doesn't return. Easy enough, its probably a driver problem. So I
3. Restart and boot to CD into repair my computer.
4. Go to command prompt, and issue the command DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS
5. Restart. Says "Preparing computer for first time use."
Good from here right? WRONG. New error message: The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Press OK to restart and restart installation. After some searching, turns out a quick registry fix can solve this problem.
6. Press shift+f10 to open CMD. issue command regedit.
7. Go to the setup part of the registry (HKeyLocalMachine/System/Setup/Status/ChildCompletion) change the value from 3 to 1.
8. Restart. Setup continues, finishes, boots into Windows 7 and 800x600 resolution.
9. I go to screen resolution, and change it to max, and it works. Everything is great almost.
Now, remember that atikmdag.sys file I had to delete to get the setup to reappear instead of that black screen? Well turns out, with that file gone, my computer now reads my graphics driver as corrupt or as having a problem, preventing many games and applications from booting up without giving a graphics card error. THIS is where I am stuck now. If atikmdag.sys is a vital file to the driver for the graphics card, how can I keep it where it is, but still boot up without a black screen? Reinstalling my video driver or reinstalling the bootcamp drivers cause the black screen or blue screen of death, so I have to delete that .sys file again to boot correctly. But without this .sys file, it seems my computer will always throw the corrupt/problem error at me?
Let me say, I have tried to download the catalyst drivers and use the atikmdag.sy_ file from there and issue the command "expand.exe atikmdag.sy_ atikmdag.sys" to make a new sys file for it, and this works and it boots with the file, but device management then throws the error that all of the packages arent signed correctly and refuses to boot the driver at all. Any help?
Cheers, Adam

easy enough, just confirm that you have no other usb devices connected to your mac
where is your current w7 disk from? we're going to make a new one unless you tell me its a retail disk
dl a fresh w7 iso from below and google bootable iso disk on osx for steps
http://techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/
open boot camp assistant and if you have an option to delete/remove windows, do that
open disk utility and confirm that you only have 1 partition ('mac hd' unless you've renamed it), if not you need to get back to 1 partition

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do?

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout in Disk Utility is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do? I was trying to install Windows 8.1 but apparently, this is not yet possible.
I was originally able to restore to my original Mac OSX partition using Boot Camp Assistant but then after entering Disk Utility and re-RAIDing the default RAID 1 to RAID 0 in the BootCamp partition (I suspect this is the cause of the problem but why was it defaulted to RAID 1 in the first place?!!!!), forever afterwards, I couldn't restore the single OSX partition.
Whenever I used BootCamp Assistant my choice to 'Install or remove Windows 7 or later version' was greyed out. Finally I went to Disk Utility to repartition but the Macintosh HD and BootCamp disk partition functions were also greyed out (even if I started up from Recovery mode holding down option, command and 'R' and choosing Disk Utility). BootCamp Assistant gives the error message 'The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition' with additional small script 'The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows', and DU gives the error message 'The full size of the Fusion drive is not available for repartitioning'.
What can I do to fix this problem? How can I make the Partition Layout button active in DU so I can change the partition to all OSX? I'm prepared to wipe off all my data etc to repartition and have backed up all to disk using Time Machine.

My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

Image Persistence a reoccuring problem on 24" iMac

Hello fellows,
For the past few months now I've had problems with Image Retention/persistence. The thing is, I've had things in place for longer without them leaving a ghost, and the amount of time it takes to ghost seems completely inconsistent, and seems to happen faster recently.
The thing is, 3 out of 4 times this has happened (and im not sure about the 4th) happened while I was on my Windows 7 bootcamp partition.
Granted, I do play computer games on my windows partition, but only one time has the HUD of the game actually been what became ghosted, and that was only after an hour or so of gameplay (and the most recent incident)
I'm getting rather worried about my monitor. I know the ghosting goes away after leaving the monitor off, and I do have screensavers and monitor sleep set on both my mac and windows partitions, but it seems to be happening more quickly lately. Could it be an issue with the monitor and Windows 7? And could I get a replacement from Apple? (I bought the iMac last August so I'm fairly certain I've still got warranty)

I'm having a similar problem with my iMac.
I just noticed yesterday that some of my desktop icons are leaving ghost images. Unfortunately, the images are not disappearing after turning the monitor off.
There have been times that I needed to turn off my screen saver, but I don't recall leaving the monitor on for very long. Plus, I thought I understood that image persistence was not an issue with LED monitors. Guess I was wrong.
I've had my iMac for just under two years. I hope there is some kind of relatively easy solution.
It will be interesting to hear from others.

Hi, Derek -
...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

Can I install Windows 7 (32/64 bit) with bootcamp 3 on an iMac 11,3 (mid 2010)

My cousin has an iMac Mid 2010 (11,3) and installed Windows 7 (32bit) on a Bootcamp Partition (NTFS) with 100GB.
But after trying to boot with windows, the boot stops and Mac OS comes to front......
Is it possible to install Windows 7 with bootcamp 3 on an iMac?
Apple says only XP or Vista 32 bit is possible....
But here I read Windows 7 also.... ?!
What's going wrong?

Lcd or inverter problem? for iMac 21,5"

Hi,
I'm a serius problem with my iMac (late 2009)...
this is the video of my problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnYgjL04hKs
what do you think about this?

It needs to be taken in and professionaly diagnosed. Take it to an Apple Store or AASP, you can use Apple Online Service Assistant to locate one. If you purchased AppleCare this should be covered with no problem.

Problem with my iMac 10.1 (21.5")!

Please! Help me! I have a problem with my iMac 10.1 (21.5")! The coolers are spinning very quick! I think what it is problem with SMC. I have already reset the SMC, check the temperature sensor, reset the PRAM and NVRAM, but it is not help! What you adwise me?

I think you mean you are getting the Spinning Beach Ball (commonly called the Spinning Beach Ball of Death or SSBD), this can be caused by many things. The SSBD can be caused by lots of different things, however the most common is a computer that has not enough RAM or Disk Space or possibly a runaway process. Leave Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) open and while the computer is operating normally check the amount of FREE RAM. You will find this under the System Memory tab. In most cased FREE RAM should be above 500MB, if you are at or below 500MB then it's time for a RAM upgrade. It will look something like:
If you have a runaway process look in the column that says %CPU and look for somethign taking a large % of CPU.
For how much free HD space you have in a new Finder window click the internal HD and then either right click it and choose Get Info or use Command I (I as in Ivan) and check the size of the HD and the amount of available space. OS X likes 10-15% of the total HD available. For example if you have a 500GB HD and you have 75GB or less available then it's time to begin freeing up HD space. This is a rule of thumb, some systems work OK with less however some do not so it's always best to error on the side of caution if you are nearing the 10-15% rule and off load some data to and EHD.
Finally you may also benefit by troubleshooting your issue by reading and using the Spinning Beach Ball of Death article.

I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem on my iMac. My facetime has been working, but now I'm getting the same error as You. I've been through the following:
The stuff that Linc Davis suggested, new profile on iMac, moved iMac into DMZ zone with no firewall rules, tested with other Apple-ID, checked hosts file, checked different timezone settings, tried to connect to 2 mobile APs (with diferent providors), changed DNS servers (ISP's DNS + Google DNS + Open DNS) - Nothing helped. Also talked to Apple Support, since i have Apple Care, but the seem to be a bit clueless also Well I've mailed them the results of my different tests, so lets see what they come up with - Unfortunately I'm sure it will be the same suggestion as all the major PC manufactures suggests, reinstall and test - RIGHT !!!!!!
If I get solution, I'll post it here.
Kind Regards
Kim
