How do you overcome a blackscreen upon beginning installation of windows 7 64-Bit on a MacBook Pro5,1?

Hello All,
I have a MacBookPro5,1, upgraded to 8gb RAM running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
Apple states that this model is capable of installing Windows 7 64-Bit.
But when I try to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp Assistant, everything goes to plan until Boot Camp restarts the machine where a Blackscreen appears and does not show the windows installation screen. The machine is doing something in the background but then appears to power off. I have to press the power button twice, one long press to stop whatever it was doing then one more to power back on. I can get back into the Mac side with no problem.
I am certain bootcamp does not have the relevent video drivers for the windows installation to use...
I am using a Microsoft certified Windows 7 Professional SP1 image file burnt to a DVD-R, the image was downloaded from Microsoft as part of their student deals.
How do I get the blackscreen to go away?
Kind Regards,
tmanz

Okay,
So I still have the problem.
I was able to upgrade my Mac OS X to Lion using a Retail DVD and this gave me Boot Camp v4.0.
Followed the steps, burn't the downloaded drivers to a DVD. Then selected install on the Boot Camp and the MacBook Pro still goes into a blackscreen where I should see the Windows 7 installation screen.
This problem seems to be similar to the apple problem with their iMac's TS3173, but I am dumbfounded as to why I have this problem. I don't think anyone else out there with a MacBookPro5,1 has this problem.
I think If I had a solution as in TS3173 for the MacBookPro5,1 it would solve my case. Really I need the nVidia drivers for the GeForce 9400M, I tried getting these from the Boot Camp drivers but these are in exe form which would not be detected by the Windows 7 installer.
Is there anyone out there that understands my problem and can advise me?
Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
tmanz

  • HT3458 How do you go back to the beginning of playlist

    How do you go back to the beginning of playlist on ipod shuffle

    The device only displays the last portion of a large text message. I'm not aware of any other method to access the beginning of the conversation except to scroll and keep loading the older part of the message. I would imagine to help with RAM management, the device does not load entire conversations.
    You can provide feedback to Apple HERE, if you would like to see a change in the way the device displays messages.

  • How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    This may not be the correct forum for this question, but considering that I simply
    have not been able to get a reply in any other Adobe forum, I decided
    to just post this question to ALL Adobe forums until I get a response.........
    How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the *******
    "Combine Supported Files in Adobe Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

  • How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    Question
    How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    '''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
    This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
    This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
    # If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
    # Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
    # Select Tab Groups.
    # Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
    # Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
    #A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
    # Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
    # Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
    # DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
    # Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
    # So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

    How do I enable all sound files wav,MP3 on windows 7 64-bit change system sounds it will only give me the option to choose wav?

    Windows 7 uses .wav (wave) files for the sound events. The default folder that Windows 7 uses to store the sound files in is located at C:\Windows\Media.

  • When adding audio books to ipod either manually or by syncing, the tracks seem to be in the right order but they play back in a random order which means you can't listen to the book. How do you overcome this? (Bill)

    I have tried adding audio books to my ipod classic, both by syncing and manually. The tracks come up in the right order in the menu but when listening they will often play (not always) in a random order. How do I overcome this, as it is making listening to books impossible.  (Tarraganda)

    I have found the problem myself when I got into the Settings. Somehow it had been put onto shuffle all music files and once I turned that off it reverted to normal. I realised something basic was wrong when our other ipod that had been synced at the same time didn't have a problem. However, I had put all the books on manually, one album at a time as problems occurred when syncing the whole library, including multiple albums for the same piece of music.

  • How do you use brushes in Photoshop Elements 10 in Windows 8?

    I just got a new HP Envy preloaded with Windows 8 and it's been a learning curve trying to figure out this new OS. I used to move brushes in Windows 7 just by dragging them to the photo I wanted them on -- super easy. Now with Windows 8, it won't let me do that. How do you work with brushes in Windows 8?

    For those with earlier versions of PSE without Guided Edit, try this:
    - Select and feather teeth 1 or 2 px.
    - Enhance > Adjust Color > Hue/Saturation, or add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.
    - Choose Yellows from menu.
    - Lower Saturation to remove yellow.
    - Optionally increase Lightness.
    Here I moved Saturation all the way left and changed Lightness to +50.

  • How to downgrade itunes to 12 to 11.4 in windows 7 64 bit?

    I HATE itunes 12!  Among other reasons, it changed the name I gave my iphone 6+ to just "iphone," which renders my phone undiscoverable by any of my blue tooth devices until I set them all up again using the new name...and I can't find a way to change the name of the phone back to what it was....I can't even get to the phone "pages" in itunes!  And that's just the "first verse" in my litany of complaints. I won't bore you with the rest, but I really NEED to get rid of this thing...and I will NEVER upgrade again without first finding out whether people like it or not!
    So how do I get rid of 12 and reinstall 11.4 in Windows 7 64 bit  without also restoring the phone to factory settings??? I'll even do that if it's the only way, but I'd rather not.  The version in my downloads file is 11.3.1.2...if I uninstall 12 and install it, itunes will want to "upgrade" it, but will go directly to 12.  So where do I find a downloadable 11.4?
    Help will REALLY be appreciated!

    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

  • How do I run Adobe Design Premium (6.0) for Windows on 64 bit xp (sp2)

    I built a super computer (6 core with 24 g memory, 2 HDD and 1 SDD) and am running XP 64 bit. 64 bit xp only went up to service pack 2....there never was an SP3 so, this program won't install. I hate Vista and Windows 7, and would rather die than switch. Any ideas how i can get it to install on my current configuration?

    Clinging on to XP64 is like buying a new car and putting your old, dirty foot mats from your previous car in it... Sorry, but this is just not smart. CS6 won't run on it either way and since the operating system itself doesn't support certain performance optimizations, graphics drivers are always behind and do not support this and that, support for certain CoDecs and devices is limited and so on, you are shooting yourself quite literally in the foot. Your approach at this point makes absolutely no sense, no matter how much you may despise Win 7. And Adobe already have stated that the next version (aka CS7) will cease all support for any flavor of XP, even the normal 32bit one... Again, this is a hopeless case and it's simply irrational...

  • How to fix applepushservice.dll issues for downloading iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit

    I recently had iTunes crash on my home PC, Windows 7 64-bit.  I have tried several attempts to uninstall and reinstall the program and it still does not work and I receive error messages.  The latest:  The program can't start because ApplePushService.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.  Problem is, the articles that I have seen state this is an Unknown source and my firewall will not allow it to be installed.  The original error was a Windows Error 7 (registry & .dll issues).  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • How can I get Firefox to load "Background" images in Windows 7(32 Bit)? They will not load in Windows 7 Professional but will load in XP Virtual console when I installed Firefox there. How do I get it to load properly in the normal Windows 7 window?

    I have a Toshiba laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q740 @1.73GHz 1.73 GHz , 4.00 GB RAM, 32-bit Operating system
    I noticed the problem after installing Firefox 4.0.1, but by uninstalling and reinstalling found it was also a problem with the previous version.
    There are no boxes displayed on this form, but on my XP desktop computer, they are displayed. I have both open so I know where to type.
    I installed Firefox on the XP virtual console on this machine and it worked fine, but not using Windows 7.
    None of the posted suggestions for similar questions on this forum worked.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.
