Drivers forWindows Vista home basic

How do I get drivers for Windows Vista Home basic edition to work with Windows vista on my mac. Can't connect to internet on vista.

Dupont:
The drivers are on Leopard Installation Disk.
1. Boot into Windows
2. Insert your *Leopard Installation Disk* into the CD/DVD drive
3. This should automatically begin the installation of the boot camp drivers.
4. When drivers installation is completed then reboot
The above should have all the Windows hardware drivers installed.

Windows Vista Home basic drivers for internet

How do I get drivers for Windows Vista Home basic edition to work with Windows vista on my mac. Can't connect to internet on vista.

Hi,
for the obvious:
After the Vista installation, did you install the Apple drivers from the OSX Leopard Installation DVD ?
If not, boot into Vista and insert the OSX Installation DVD that came with your iMac.
The Driver Setup usually starts automatically.
All drivers needed are on that DVD.

Want VGA drivers for Satellite A100-033 under Vista Home Basic

I have a Satellite A100-033 which runs Windows Vista Home Basic. The main video driver is an Intel 945 chipset. However, I want to install an ordinary VGA driver. This is because I have some software which needs full screen mode. The Intel chipset won't allow this, but the VGA video driver does. Until now I have been able to access the VGA driver on my laptop, via personalise/ displaysettings/ monitor/, which would let me select a VGA driver from a list of device drivers which was presented to me. However, this option has been removed from the list of options. How can I find the VGA driver on my laptop, and/or download another one?

Hi
Im a little bit confused. I dont know exactly what you want to do but the graphic card driver can be updated and install via device manager.
Access simply the device manager, select the graphic card and install or update the graphic driver.
Some graphic drivers cannot be installed automatically. In such case you should install it manually.
That means you should assign the graphic card driver source manually.

It just makes me so mad while using windows vista home basic in bootcamp.

there are sooo many problems while running in windows vista home basic..
First..
the computer gets really **** hot after several minutes and the fans just never kick in at all...
second..
the system is soo unstable, is it because of the high temperature?
what all of these about??
is there any problem with my drivers or anything?
i thought apple says that windows will work perfectly in bootcamp..
i'm sooo disappointed. and i really need it to work well most of the times
but what is going on ? please..
i have the 2.5ghz MBP..
but it's like a 0.5 ghz while running windows.. sooo unstable and there are soo many problems!
also it shuts down by itself .. the blue screen says physical memory n stuff...?
it that my problem or the computer ?
did i do anything wrong?
someone please help.
i don't want my mbp runs like a tiger or something only under MAC OS x. and like a weak sick cat loses all its power while running windows?
if I have done any thing wrong .. please somebody tell me and i'm gonna fix it.
but if everybody has the same issue .. i think i will be just sooo mad of buying this computer..

Essentially all you have done here is create a list of complaints without really providing a lot of information about your problems. Maybe if you gave us some specifics we could help. And to answer one of your questions: yes, you can have windows running absolutely fine in BootCamp. My Vista copy works fine without an problems and it is quite fast. I've actually never had a Blue Screen with it. It is true that macs as a rule use fewer system resources and so will probably be faster for some basic tasks, but it shouldn't be too a point where you notice much of a difference.
Now for that memory problem you described. How much RAM does your computer have. Vista uses a lot of RAM and if you run a lot of applications at once in Vista, you might be overloading your RAM.

Satellite L300 - Upgrade from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium issues

Hi all,
I just recently got a Satellite L300 with an OEM version of Vista Home Basic.
I have a copy of Windows Vista: Home Premium (upgrade) disc and decided to use it on the laptop.
I put the disc in, and followed the steps however the upgrade option is blanked out... This is if I use the product key provided with the disc or not.
The laptop came with Service Pack 1 already installed and the disc I own was released into the shops before Service Pack 1.
My main question really is how can I get my disc to upgrade my version of Vista. I have tried searching Google, this website, Microsoft's website and I keep getting the same answer.
Basically go through options and do anytime upgrade. All of these are for me to buy from Microsoft which would be kind of pointless as I already have a copy.
I did read something at on a site that stated my disc would have to have the service pack on the disk and I seen a website with some kind of disc editing program for Vista but im not too keen on using it and the 'how to' wasn't very easy to understand.
Also, im not too keen on calling either Toshiba or Microsoft on premium rate numbers for help with something I have already bought and paid for and should be as simple as a few steps.
Anyway hope someone can help because I would really like to upgrade.

Hello
I understand you and it is really annoying but what to do now? the fact is that Toshiba has offered this notebook with certain Vista version. This version must be offered with best and latest available Microsoft security updates. Due to this Toshiba offers it with latest SP1 option.
So now you try to install update offered long time ago and probably offered before SP1 was on the market. I understand your point of view but, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with Toshiba now, and you should try to find solution with Microsoft. For example you can also pick up info from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930733
Clean Vista Home Premium can be installed without any problems. All drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba support & download page.

Boot camp and Vista home basic

everything seems to be working well with BC and Vista. Vista has this tool that automatically checks for problems, and then tries to find solutions, this is all done in the background. When I check to see if I had any problems, well I do. It states that there are missing Apple drivers and these drivers can be found on the apple website or by using Apple software update. Well Software update says all is up to date, and that goes for Apple and Vista. Is there anyone else experiencing this with Vista Home Basic?
Thanks.

you may need to re insert leopard and re download the drivers. There is also an option to "fix" the drivers when doing this. That's what I had to do.

Hello,
Please Help; I recently purchased T400 2764CTO with Vista Home Basic. This is the worst experience I ever had with an OS. I want to downgrade to XP. I do have an XP cd.
I am not sure where to get all the drivers for my hardware. I did try to look around this forum and wasn't able to locate one for my system. Please help as my brand new machine is currently sitting and collecting dust because of Vista. I really appreciate your response!
Thanks!
T400 - 2764CTO - 2.40 GHz - 3 GB ram - fingerprint reader - bluetooth - camera - wifi a/g - ATI 3450 256 MB - not sure what else to mention???

Black screen (or screen refresh) during the process of start up. T400, Vista home basic.

My 2 weeks old T400 Vista home basic can start up successfully. But every time when I start or restart it, during the start process, after inputting the password, there are 4 times of black screen (or screen refresh). Is it normal? Thanks.

Can I upgrade Vista Home Basic to Vista Business using Boot Camp & Fusion

I have installed Vista Home Basic 32-bit through Boot Camp partition and am running this through Fusion 1.1. I need Fusion's capability of running Windows at the same time as my Leopard. Presently, this OS is running smoothly as are my peripherals, including my LAN networked printer. However,
I am told by VMware Fusion email tech support that they do not support Vista Home Basic. They would support a number of other Windows OSs including Vista Business which I can readily afford, or Vista Ultimate which would be much more difficult monetarily.
I am concerned that I will need Fusion's tech support in the future and thus am willing to do the upgrade to Vista Business or Ultimate if I have to. I have been informed that Home Basic is FAT32 but Business is NTFS; that FAT32 is Apple readable and writable, but NTFS is only readable. I am a newbie and don't know what that means.
It appears from what I can understand on MS Windows support forum topics that Ultimate is more compatible with Home Basic. Could someone with technical expertise please help advise which way is best to go with this, and if I have to, which upgrade to choose; and, how to go about installing without messing up what is already working.
I'd really appreciate help with this as I have over a month trying to get this right and have had to communicate with tech support of various companies, do several complete deletions of partitions and reinstalls of various OSs and other software needed to accommodate my PC needs. My frustration level is really high at this point. Thanks to whomever is wiling to help this struggling newbie.

Thank you, The Hatter, for answering so quickly.
You asked about my needs. I use Apple OS capable Word to create documents, but often need data from a PC-only CD that was loaded on my Toshiba laptop for these documents which I share with others via email attachment sometimes from PC side and sometimes from Apple side depending on whether I still have things to add to the file and of course need to print from PC side also. That's why Fusion's side-by-side and drag and drop capabilities are perfect for me (I actually used to try to email the document to myself and go to my Toshiba to retrieve it, complete the document and email back, but MS Outlook often failed to operate.) I also receive from a friend, sound files created in PC format that I previously used Roxio to burn to CD. (Haven't gotten this running yet, apparently info I saw online about which Roxio v. would work with VHome Basic was wrong).
When I am traveling and away for 2-3 weeks, I need to have everything on one laptop so I gave up my iMac w/Tiger v10.4, which I loved, for a new Macbook Pro to get the duo core, with a 23" Cinema Display. After reading Apple discussion forum and talking to Apple Sales, decided to get Fusion to run both OS simultaneously (this part works beautifully). I need to be able to print from the PCVM (which I've finally resolved).
RE XP: In my conversations with Fusion tech supp. I was given instructions to load my XP Pro directly in VM w/o Boot Camp, telling me BC was unnecessary because Fusion could do partitioning and everything else necessary, so I scrapped everything and tried to do a new install, but their detailed instructions wouldn't allow installation. When I emailed them of the problem, they didn't reply. I really needed to get my PCVM up and running so went back to scrubbing everything and beginning again using Boot Camp and Vista Home. If there is a way to use use my XP upgrade with or without BC, I'd be happy to, but don't know how to go about it. I ordered Vista Bus. full on a special promo online for $127 but it hasn't arrived yet, so I believe I could return it if I don't need it. Will I need to scrap everything again and start over, or can I install the XP Pro upgrade with where I am now? Will the Vista capable application software be able to work with XP? How do I check whether my current partition is NTFS? What is MacFUSE, do I need it, and if so where can I get it? Is it expensive? I've really over-extended having to purchase things I believed I needed to proceed.
I also have a Seagate 500 firewire for backing up my Leopard using Time Machine. Boot Camp partitioned the 500 for Leopard and PC using FAT32, but Seagate TS tells me that I can't use both OSs and that's why I can't see the PC partition in the Fusion desk top. Fusion TS tells me that I can't use FAT32 to back up Vista. Stymied again! So, I just found a Seagate 300 Free Agent to back up the PC side if I need to I have 13 days to decide.
Suggestions...instructions?
Again, thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I'm really grateful. I have tried to keep notes on what I've done and how, but I've scrapped everything and redone things so many times, I'm just confused at this point.

Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit

I'm looking at the customisable configurations, and I see that you offer 8GB RAM but that a 64-bit system is required to support it. At the same time, the only option that explicity says it's 64-bit is the Business edition of Vista, which I definitely do not need. Is there any way to specify an order with Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I need the power, but none of the administrative nonsense associated with the Business addition. From Wikipedia:
"Similar to Windows XP Home Edition, Home Basic targets budget-conscious users not requiring advanced media support for home use. ... Home Basic supports one physical CPU, but with multiple cores. 64-bit Home Basic supports up to 8 GB of RAM. ... Comparable to Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows Vista Business Edition targets the business market. It includes all the features of Home Basic with the exception of Parental Controls and the Windows Vista Standard theme. This edition can join and participate in a Windows Server domain. It includes Internet Information Services, fax support, Rights Management Services client, Encrypting File System, system image backup and recovery, Offline Files, a single user Remote Desktop server, ad-hoc P2P collaboration capabilities, Shadow Copy support which provides access to previous versions of files, support for Tablet PCs, and other business oriented management features. The Vista Business edition supports up to two physical CPUs. 64-bit Business supports 128 GB of RAM."
I'm looking at a configuration with a high-power, dual-core processor and 8GB RAM with the 2GB disk cache on top of that for, among other things, high-volume, intense audio processing. None of the extras associated with Business are things I need, but I do need a 64-bit system to utilise 8GB RAM. Frankly, I just really don't want to have to pay $79 simply for the RAM support, I don't want to deal with it through Microsoft, and although the basic edition is apparently not eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade, I can cross that bridge when I come to it.
My questions:
If I'm configuring a machine with >3GB installed memory, will it by default be configured with the 64-bit version of the edition of Windows I've selected?
If so, will there be a cost difference? There is no cost difference between the listed 32- and 64-bit versions of the Business edition.
If not, is there any way to make this simple change on my order? Does Levono even ship Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay, good to know. I still need to know whether I can get Levono to ship my machine with the configuration I've selected, only with Vista Basic 64-bit
SInce Lenovo don't offer either type of Vista Home in a X64 version, the answer is quite simply, no.

what would be most cost-effective would also be appreciated.
Sweating on the OS cost when you are planning to put an expensive 8 GB of RAM into a system seems to be quite cost-ineffective IMO!

Hp 9800 printer will not print 13"x19". using vista home basic. tells me paper size is problem.

Deskjet HP 9800 printer, USB connection, Vista Home Basic 32 bit. I am trying to print 13"x19" colour and the printer receives info from computer, goes through a few gyrations and then feeds my sheet of paper out with no attempt to print. I have tried every possible combination of setup features and have tried to print at Max DPI and at Best DPI. Same results. Only error message ever received was one telling me of a conflict in paper size. That message was received twice during about 15 attempts to print. This my first try at 13"x19". I have no problem with 11"x17" colour or black and white.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list in the Console window. Then select the messages from the time of the last printing attempt. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

I need to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic and need to know if I must back up all my bookmarks to a disk first.

I have had on-going problems with communication between my Lexmark X3650 printer/scanner/copier and my Dell Vostro PC. Dell has instructed me to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic to my PC. I need to know if I will lose my Firefox bookmarks when I do this (I am waiting for them to send me the Vista disk before I can re-install). Will my bookmarks be saved on Firefox? Will I have to re-load my Firefox browser? I am certainly no computer whiz buy I simply cannot afford to lose all these links (collegiate workbooks and course-work submission links etc.). HELP!

You can backup the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager.
You can export the bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
You can also create a JSON backup:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.<br />
Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks, so existing bookmarks are lost.<br />
Importing an HTML backup will merge the imported bookmarks with existing bookmarks, so you do not lose the bookmarks that you already have, but you may get duplicate bookmarks if some already exist.

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
