Cinema Display on Windows XP 64bits

Hello,
Im trying definitely to use the controls to turn of and on the cinema display under Windows XP x64, the excelent drivers WinACD for windows 32bits doesnt work on windows xp 64bits edition.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winacd
I read some people did the work to make it happend, but they never make it public for the rest of us to use this modified dirvers.
I heard about one way to do it, we need te .INF file of the WinACD drivers unzipping the .MSI instalator of the drivers, them some one says, that we have to modify the way he says
If you unzip the WinACD msi file, one of the files is actually the display INF file. Edit that and change:
[Manufacturer]
%APPLE%=APPLE_MON
[APPLE_MON]
to:
[Manufacturer]
%APPLE%=APPLE_MON,NTamd64
[APPLE_MON.NTamd64]
Save it, and tell WinXP 64 to use that file for the driver of your “pluag-and-play” monitor.
But i dont get the .INF file, can some one, help me, can some one give me a solution, any thing, if you can extract the .INF file and upload it to me for me to modify it, i be glad, or some one can share a complete solution for this, because we are a lot of people that needs Windows Xp 64 Bits to render and make CAD that is no compatible with windows Vista and have Cinema Display.
Im gettin mad, please help me if you can, them i will share the solution uploading it to SourceForge.net
Thanks

I actually just reinstalled the drivers, but this time from a new export onto usb.  The display works fine now.  I think it just didn't put all of the drivers on the first time I installed the apple stuff.
Try taking all of your drivers off and then reinstalling. 
Not sure if this really helps.

  • Disconnecting Cinema Display Leaves Windows Stranded on Laptop

    Dear All,
    I use a 17" PowerBook with a newly purchased 20" Cinema Display in dual screen (non-mirroring mode) at work and just the laptop at home. The CInema Display is set as the primary monitor.
    Using Excel in dual screen mode before leaving work on Thursday, I had a spreadsheet open on the laptop (secondary) screen. I disconnected everything and went home. Now, with only the laptop, that spreadsheet is inaccessible. It's open and, by using Expose I can see it, but when I pick it, it just slides off the screen.
    Is there any way to get it back?
    I'm figuring when I get to work I'll be able to get it. And I also assume that I should have probably gone through a "detect displays" sequence after disconnecting (although that's not working now). Maybe using the laptop as the primary display is the secret as well. However, it would be nice to be able to get it now.
    Incidentally, I do not find Apple's dual screen setup very elegant. Having the main menu only at the top of the primary screen means a lot of mouse movement when using the secondary screen. In addition, when I use right click menus on some secondary screen programs, they appear on the primary screen.
    Thanks for the help... Jim
    PS - For those who saw my post on another forum about a window too large to access, it is not related to the dual screen. It is running on a different system without the dual screen although I tried using the larger dual screen to acces it (unsuccessfully).

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
    tell application "Microsoft Excel"
    set bounds of window 1 to {61, 95, 465, 313}
    end tell
    Insert the application's name in the first line inside the quote marks, press the Run button, and then resize the window. Close all open documents in Excel which you can see. This script may not work for all applications.

  • Can't use 20" Cinema display on Windows

    I posted this question on the Mac/Windows compatability forum, but perhaps this forum might be more relevant.
    I just purchased a 20" Cinema display to use with my Windows VIsta machine. I notice there a number of people using this forum that also use Apple monitors on Windows machines.
    I have not been able to use this monitor yet, as when I hook it up and turn on my computer my system will not boot. It freezes up at the third screen dealing with BIOS. The final line of a DOS screen reads: AHCI Bios not installed.
    My system will not respond at this point, I have to turn off the computer and replace the Apple monitor with my old CRT model. Then my system immediately runs normally.
    Has anyone else dealt with anything like this?
    Thanks for any help that might be offered.

    I've now seen there are postings on the topic so please ignore my query.  I've looked to delete this but so far can't see how....Thanks

  • Apple Cinema Displays and Windows

    I know it will work with windows. But what kinda of
    controls will I get? Since there is no controls on
    the monitor it seems besides brightness. Or it all
    depended on the graphic cards to be in control?
    What is default color temp then?
      Windows XP Pro  

    WinACP <http://sourceforge.net/projects/winacd/> will give you a monitor control panel in XP.

  • Windows 8.1 with a 24" Cinema Display?

    Where can I get actual drivers for the cinema display on windows 8.1?  It only detects as Generic PnP monitor, and I can't use the awesome iSight camera with it at all...device manager shows driver warning :/
    Tried downloading bootcamp, but says it can't install...tried extracting and installing the AppleDisplayInstaller64.exe, no change :/
    Anyone else know how to get this thing recognized?  In order to plug it into the PC I needed a minidisplayport->displayport adapter...is that what's hosing me?

    Device manager won't recognize isight, but Skype on Win 8.1 does. It work fine for me.

  • New MacBook Pro & 27" Apple LED Cinema Display Don't Go to Sleep

    I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,1) and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. When they are connected the computer occasionally has a problem being put to sleep. When clicking sleep, the monitor will take a little while to shut off, but in about 10 seconds, it will turn back on. Immediately when turning on, the image on the screen is quite scrambled (it does correct itself). Usually, if I attempt to put it to sleep multiple times, it will end up working. When it does go to sleep (correctly), the screen will turn off much faster than the times where it doesn't sleep.
    Anyone else have a similar issue they found a fix to? When speaking to Apple support, they thought it was part of an issue with 10.6.6, however, the update to 10.6.7 did not solve the issue.
    PS - I keep my MacBook Pro lid closed when using the display.

    Is your 2.6 the CTO upgrade from the high end 2.3 15"?
    Yes, both will work under OSX and Windows. One note, when you boot Windows, you need to unplug the USB from the LED Cinema display or Windows will not boot. Once booted, then plug the USB back in to regain brightness, etc controls.

  • Cinema Display 23 aluminum and Windows 7 64

    I have an Apple Cinema Display on an Alienware Auora i7 980x running Windows 7 64. I have an nVidia Quadro 4000. In the nVidia Control panel the monitor shows, but not in device manager. One of my monitors shows up in Device Manager, but not in the nVidia control panel. I tried installing the WinACD version 0.4.6 but get the mesage that the "installation was interupted"
    I have two Dell monitors that show up in Device Manager, but one is missing from the nVidia control panel. Although the Apple Cinema Display does show up in the nVidia Control Panel, it is not sown in Device Manager
    I have contacted nVidia, but was hoping to find out if there is a driver for the Apple Cinema Display.
    Any ideas?

    Hello again,
    After speaking to an Apple Genius, it seems the solution was to update the firmware for the Cinema Display. Since I have done this, the monitor appears to behave better.

  • Cinema display goes black upon resolution change in Windows XP

    Greetings
    Earlier today, I updated my ATI X1600 Radeon to the latest Windows Catalyst drivers and to the Catalyst Control Center from ATI. Even since, whenever a Windows application (games, in this case) tries to change the resolution on my external Apple Cinema Display (designated as the main monitor in the ATI Catalyst Control Center, with the MacBook Pro display disabled), the display goes black, and the monitor power lamp starts to flash.
    If I unplug the external Cinema Display from my MacBook Pro, my MacBook Pro display activates, and displays whatever it is I was trying to launch, so the problems is somehow related to the Cinema Display, even if the new drivers are causing it.
    This happens regardless of my Catalyst Control Center settings, such as scaling the lower resolution to fit the screen, or keeping it the original size, with black borders around. The problem does not occur when I launch games using 1600 x 1024, the Cinema Display's native resolution.
    Any ideas what might be causing it, and how to resolve it?

    Update on my situation: when I tried to change the resolution manually in Windows, I encountered the same problem. Now, whenever I connect the Cinema Display to my MacBook Pro, the same thing occurs: the screen goes black, and the power lamp starts flashing, even though I've changed back to 1600 x 1024.

  • Macbook pro w/ 24" cinema display does not work in bootcamp windows 7 - any solutions out there?

    I am running bootcamp with windows 7 to be able to access some autodesk software.  Once I'm in the windows environment I can no longer use my 24" cinema display.  Is this a driver issue, video card, any ideas on how to make this function, I really need to display real estate.

    I know this is an old post, but did you ever find a solution for this? I just installed Windows 7 through Boot Camp and bought an older 20" Cinema Display (M9177LL/A); the display works wonderfully on the Mac side, but I can't get it to register in Windows. This isn't the brightness issue that I see a lot of people have, I don't see a way to use the display at all.

  • Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?  Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

    I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

  • Can I use External Display on a Window 7 64bit 13" Macbook Pro Early 2010

    I have a 23" LED LG Monitor , It has VGA Cable , RCA Cable and HDMI Plug (but no wire). I am asking now if whether I should need a VGA Cable or a RCA Cable or a HDMI cable. I know there's the Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter. Should I get that? And does window 7 64bit professional bootcamp support any external display? If not , is there another way to get it working.

    You should be able to hook it right up just like if it was a "normal" Windows Laptop.
    Windows would be the one to set it up with. Make sure you've updated Boot Camp.
    You probably should use an "Apple Mini Display" port -to- HDMI adapter as that should give you more display options, etc. (I'm not sure how high the 13" can go on resolutions, HDMI or VGA may not matter?)
    You MAY have to use a separate sound cable between the laptop and monitor as some HDMI -to- (whatever) adapters don't carry the sound signal via an "adapter".
    The next choice would be a Mini Display port to VGA adapter.
    You may want to also ask this question in the "Computing Hardware/MacBook Pro" area as they may have more info?
    Hope this helps...

  • 3 Monitors with 1 iMac and 2 Cinema Displays conected to Windows Gaming PC Help!

    Hi
    I want to set up a 3 monitor gaming set up with 1 iMac in the middle and 2 cinema displays either side. This would be a tripple monitor set up.
    I am looking to set up a new computer and i want to have 3 monitors. I also want to have an iMac so i want the iMac in the middle and two cinima displays next to each other. i Want to also conect these monitors with a Windows 7 gaming PC.
    I want to hook up my very powerfull windows 7 gaming computer wich has 3 SLI GTX 560 EVGA cards. These cards have a display port output.
    So i want to run 3 monitors from my gaming machine and i also want to have my iMac use the 3 monitors aswell. I also want to take advantage of the full, maximum resolution. I would get the thunderbolt cinema display monitors.
    Gaming comupter has 3 display ports so i need to connect each graphics card to one of the monitors. I then need to conect the two cinema displays to the middle iMac.
    I have not bought anything yet i just need to know if i can do this. Need to know stuff like what adapers to buy and what compatabilties.
    I need to know if this is posible and how i would do it.
    Thanks

    Could i use some of these cables?
    It says they are thunderbolt conpatable.

  • How to simulate windows pc monitors using a mac cinema display?

    I occassionally have to produce jpegs to be posted on photographer's websites. These are high-end fashion images and the photographers are really picky about making them look good online with accurate hues, saturation, etc.
    On my old iMac I used to 'preview' how they would look on a windows pc by simply changing my display profile to 'Generic Monitor' under system preferences. This worked pretty good and gave me results that matched the windows machines I have in my studio. However I just bought a Mac Pro with a 23" cinema display and for some reason this option is no longer availble, the closest thing in the Displays panel is now 'Generic RGB Profile' and testing this by comparing jpegs on my cinema display to those viewed on a windows laptop on the same desk I can see that this profile does not seem to come anywhere nearly as close to matching the contrast and saturation of crappy pc monitors.
    Any one else had this problem? When I call apple tech support they seem very vague about what these profiles are actually meant to represent and why the very useful Generic Monitor profile is no longer present ("that monitor doesn't come with that profile, it's a professional monitor" one tech told me, obviously not understanding what I'm trying to do). This is kind of disappointing given that I've just spent over $6,000 on hardware that doesn't perform as well in this respect as my old iMac did.
    Anyone know of a simple fix or somewhere I can download a profile that will work with my cinema display and mac pro? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    PS - I am not very technical so I don't know if these profiles are in some ways connected with the graphic card, my mac pro has an ATI Radeon 2600XT and is running Leopard 10.5.1.
    Thanks!

    No, the saturation can't be adjusted during calibration. But the Cinema Display desn't have especially saturated colours. It matches the sRGB standard of most PC displays.
    Cinema Displays are normal screens. Macs look different because the operating system adjusts the gamma to 1.8. There is nothing special about the monitor itself.
    On the other hand, it will always look more saturated than a laptop screen. PC or Mac ...
