How to I get Graphic Drivers for Windows 7 using Bootcamp on my Late 2011 17" MacBook Pro?

I just received my new 17" Late 2011 MacBook Pro to replace my older model MBP.  I had configured the older MBP with two 500Gb SSD drives by replacing the original hard drive and the DVD with 500Gb SSDs.  Works fine.  I then simply installed these two SSDs from the older MBP on the new machine.  OSX works fine, after a few software updates.  Likewise Win 7 Pro is installed on a Boot Camp partition with the drivers from the Mid 2010 MBP.  Windows seems to run fine after the expected reactivation, but the graphics are obviously not running at full resolution, I am certain this is due to the differing graphics card between the Mid 2010 MBP and the Late 2011 MBP.
Apple does not show any drivers download for the new MBP, I am running BootCamp software version 4.0.
Although I could certainly do it, I don't want to spend the time to run a new installation of Windows 7 and reinstall all the myriad windows updates.  It would take hours.
I know that the new installation process takes a step to download the BootCamp drivers, but how can you reinitiate this process after installing BootCamp as I have without progressing through the whole installation process?
Any help appreciated.....

"At least 16 GB of free space on the disk onto which you’re installing for 32-bit, or 20 GB for 64-bit (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications)."
That's what Apple proposes in here Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
Personally I would double these amounts and add to that the diskspace needed for your Windows games.

  • Looking for 16GB RAM That is Compatible with Late-2011 17" Macbook Pro

    Hi guys,
    I am looking to upgrade the RAM and Hard Drive in my late-2011 17" Macbook Pro. I've already found the hard drive I want to use, but I don't know as much about RAM, and I'm not sure which 16GB (2 x 8GB) kit would be both compatible and give me the best bang for my buck. I am in Canada so any suggestions linking to Canada Computers or NewEgg would be the best! I'd really appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Jacob

    First, goto OWC - https://www.macsales.com/
    It has a guide for all things Mac & Memory
    Second, get an SSD as it will speed up your computer tremendously.
    OWC or Crucial are very good Mac-friendly brands.

  • How do I download 32bit Drivers for Windows 7 on Bootcamp for OSX 10.8.1?

    Here is the deal,
    I am a computer technician for a library and I am installing Windows 7 on four brand new Apple MiniMacs with OSX 10.8.1 on them (don't ask). The Mac came with no install Disks and the Bootcamp Assistant only downloads 64bit drivers for windows. I am installing Windows 7 32bit on them and I need the drivers. How can I get them? Can somebody assist me please?

    Buy a Windows machine or an older Mac if you wish to use 32bit Windows. (what are you going to do when MS quit supporting 32bit systems?)

  • Multitouch drivers for Windows 8 using Bootcamp?

    Macbook Pro
    Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB
    Is there any drivers that will enable multitouch on Windows 8 using bootcamp? The problem I often run into occurs when I attemp to click with one finger and move a file with another finger. On OSX this works flawlessly making it so simple to move around files.

    Did you download and install the Windows Support software in accordance with the Boot Camp instructions? If so, you have a Boot Camp Control Panel icon ion your Windows task bar. Open the control panel and set your trackpad options how you want them configured.

  • Graphics drivers for windows 7 compatible with hp notebook pc 500

    iplz recommend me graphics drivers for windows 7 compatible with hp notebook pc 500

    Hi:
    Download and run this driver.  You will probably get an unsupported operating system error.
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?s​p4ts.oid=447304&swItemId=ob_47264_1&swEnvOid=2096
    Close out of any error windows.
    Go to the device manager and click on the video controller needing drivers.
    Click on the driver tab.  Click on update driver.  Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
    That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp34749.
    Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and the driver should install.
    Reboot and your graphics should be working normally.
    You will not have Windows aero because the Intel GMA 900 graphics adapter is not 100% Vista or W7 capable but at least you will be able to change the screen resolution and have graphics acceleration enabled.

Now, I have decided that I would like to use an intensity graph for my display of the RGB image that I have captured using my pci-1411 frame grabber board. How do I get the right colormap for the intensity graph display? I do not have vision and do not intend to purchase it. I am using the basic IMAQ package.

    Dear Sir, usually the intensity graph will help you with monochrome images, since they have a one color intensity. If you want more colors you will be able to get up to 256, and not true color (24 bit). You might want to use the Picture Control instead or a Child Window approach, please look in your Help menu, 'Search IMAQ Examples...' and then browse for IMAQ examples and choose the ones that are for Picture Control. For the Child Window look in our website for an example called 'IMAQ Display Without IMAQ Vision'.
    Good luck!

  • How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?

    How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?  It reflects my old email address and therefore won't recognize my password.  When I try to do something on the App Store on my iPad, it brings up a notice to sign on, which reflects the old email address, and rejects my password since the username/email address is no longer correct.  Puzzled!

    I have another question for the community.  My daughter tells me that my texts to her show my primary email address as the account name of the sender (me) when I text her, rather than my cell phone number from which I'm texting her.  I've had others report that to me too. How do I turn that off so that recipients see my cell phone number displayed as the sending party and not my email address?  Thanks -

    Hey 1Jerry,
    Thanks for the question. You'll want to delete and re-add your iCloud account (utilizing the new Apple ID address). When prompted, opt to keep as much information on your device as possible. The following article provides information on how to do so:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Thanks,

  • I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

    I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.  This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade.  Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV?  There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

    How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

    Do you have a SD slot? If not you get a USB to SD memory card adpater at the computer/office/online store and use that.
    It appears as a drive on your machine and you can use Export from iPhoto or drag and drop methods too.

  • Ok, so i bought a 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM for my late 2011 13" MacBook Pro whose memory runs at 1067 MHz (I was also told that late 2011 MBPs run at 1333MHz, is mine an exception?)... Im looking for all possibilities to close the compatibility gap...

    Ok, so i bought a 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM for my late 2011 13" MacBook Pro whose memory runs at 1067 MHz (I was also told that late 2011 MBPs run at 1333MHz, is mine an exception, if so, why?)... Im looking for all possibilities to close the compatibility gap because computer freezes at boot and was wondering if there was anything i could do to get this 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM to work at 1067MHz or somehow get my computer to run at 1333MHz?...

    You don't have a late 2011 MB Pro.
    You have a 2010 version.  Your MB doesn't support 16GB.  8GB Max.
    That's what it shows on your about this MAC.
    You need to return the RAM and get 8GB ( 2 X 4GB ) 1066MHz.
    Your system bus is set to 1066MHz.
    You're having issues because you've installed more RAM than your MB can support.  It's only reading 4GB per bank which totals to 8GB and not 16GB.

    Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
    Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

  • How Do I Install Apple Drivers For Windows XP?

    Okay, so I have a 15 inch mid 2012 MacBook Pro that is running OS X Mavericks. After many attempts, I managed to install Windows XP 32 bit as a secondary operating system on the HDD using Disk Utility. The only devices that Windows XP recognised upon the installation were the keyboard and the trackpad. I then inserted a Snow Leopard disc to install the Apple Drivers for Windows XP and it appeared as though the drivers got installed(the Boot Camp icon appeared on the taskbar next to the digital clock). However, when I restarted windows, none of the devices other than the keyboard and the trackpad worked. Does this imply that the drivers didn't get installed? If so, why is this and how can I install the drivers? If the drivers did get installed, why aren't the devices working? Please help me out, if possible. Thanks in advance.

    It does not work because you are running Mavericks and trying to use non-Mavericks drivers for an operating system (XP) that is not support on your hardware or your operating system.
