In-built speaker issue: Vista 32-bit/Boot Camp

Heya all!
I can't seem to get my new MacBook 2.0GHz to behave with the speakers! The one on the right seems to be functioning reasonably well, albeit a little quietly, but the one on the left is very quiet, and takes a while to turn on when told to play sound. I have the Realtek Drivers installed from the OSX disc, but as I say, can't seem to find a solution. Does anyone know what I can do, or, failing that, what drivers to download/install/reinstall for Vista so I can try again?
Cheers!
TC

Nix that, installed the Boot Camp drivers a second time, seems to have fixed it. Now, if only I could get half the blinking Windows apps to behave... but that's another story. :P

Can anyone help

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
On OS X Mountain Lion, Boot Camp only supports Windows 7, so you can't install Windows Vista or XP, and if you install Windows Vista or XP, you won't be able to install Boot Camp drivers because they aren't supported under XP and Vista.
If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X DVD (or the Snow Leopard DVD) that came with the computer and install Boot Camp drivers. If your Mac didn't come with DVDs, you can't get Boot Camp drivers for Vista

Vista SP1 using Boot Camp

I have a MacBook Pro and installed Vista SP1 using Boot Camp. Vista ran fine but I noticed that there's no bluetooth control panel anywhere (it seems like OS Leopard isn't installing drivers). Any suggestions? Thanks!

There is no such "prompt" to install your disc, other than the written word, of course.

Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit boot camp issues...

Whats up guys?
So here is my problem:
I installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my macbook. The install went great and everything works like a charm except my headphone jack is red, and i have no audio, and no wifi. I installed 3.0 drivers from my Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard disc, and updated to 3.1, and it seems the update fails. This is the third day i have been trying to fix this, and i cant find anything. Apple doesn't even know what to do! I have tried DLing realtek drivers, nvidia drivers, intel chipset drivers, EVERYTHING! I don't know what to do, but i need windows for my new job! Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Josh

Yeah i have done that a couple of times. When i navigate through the disk it doesn't even let me run setup.exe, so i installed from bootcamp64.msi. Then after 3.0 installs, i try to update to 3.1 and after the nvidia install, it just quits. When i use my version tracker it says that boot camp is in version 3.0, and it shows an update for 3.1 in software update. Now when i go to uninstall programs, it shows boot camp 3.1 is installed.
As far as the audio, i have tried that as well. If i manually put a driver into that device, it fails on every reboot. It only shows working on Microsoft High Deff Audio Drivers( and it actually dosnt even work, it just glows red on my head phone jack.)
Im stumped.

RSC does not get files correctly + inconsistent shading issues (Viste 64 bits)

We experience serious trouble with RH 7 update 1 on Windows
Vista 64 bits.
We work with a team on our software helpfile. When a member
starts typing in a topic RH checks out the file. When the topic is
checked-in RSC performs an undo check out and all the mutations are
lost.
Secondly, when we open RSC some files are yellow (shaded).
This is an option of RSC. When we get all topics, some topics stay
shaded. When we view differences, RSC says that the files are
identical.
Any help is greaty appreciated!

Adobe has confirmed (through the Dutch support team) that
they do not support RH7 in combination with Microsoft Vista 64
bits.
We downgraded to 32 bits and we have a much more stable
system.
I just wanted to share this information for anyone
interested.

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.

Data sharing between OSX and WinXP/Vista partition in boot camp

Due to software and external hardware issues, i need to revert back to an XP/Vista setup but would like to keep 1 computer to minimise having multiple copies/versions of data e.g. music, video, photos and office related docs.
If i perform a boot camp install, will the following scenarios work?
1) Have 1 large OSX partition which will store all my data. Will WinXP be able to read/write/delete data on the OSX partition
2) Have 1 large WinXP partition which will store all my data. Will OSX be able to read/write/delete data on the WinXP partition (Assuming i have the NTFS-3g software installed)
3) Have 1 (for arguments sake) 30GB OSX, 1 30GB WinXP and a third partition formatted as NTFS to hold my data.
Scenario 3 would appear to be the most sensible option as it keeps data away from the OSess so if i loose one, the data will be intact regardless.
Which brings me to my final question:
If i have to reinstall OSX, would i loose the WinXP partition in the process?
Many thanks!

Along with MacFUSE, take a look at MacDrive7 for Windows to read/write to HFS Extended volumes.
WinClone to backup Windows XP/Vista
Reinstall or restore? either way, and you really should never need to reinstall if you take an hour to backup (clone) or use TimeMachine (or combination of both).
I think Boot Camp Assistant is far too much of one-way only in not allowing or supporting more than one partition for OS X and one for Windows.
You can shrink OS X volume and create a partition out of free space. Or you can shrink Windows Vista (probably XP also) and partition that (but that can confuse OS X startup disk or boot manager "Option key.").
MacFUSE has had the side effect of making "Windows" volume not show up in OS X Startup Disk also.
I'd say MacDrive7 is your best bet without requiring an external drive (but do have one or two for your backups).

BSOD w/Vista 32bit after Boot Camp 2.1 update - bluetooth related?

Ok, so 2.1 has officially hosed my Boot Camp installation now - I was really hoping for access to more than 2GB of RAM on my Mac Pro but instead I'm blessed with BSOD every 20 seconds - thanks! This seems to be somewhat random but I figured out that I can actually cause it pretty easily by opening Internet Explorer 7 and trying to type into the Live Search bar - I'm using an Apple bluetooth (aluminum) keyboard and it almost seems to be related - my password doesnt show up when I type it in at Vista log in either and its really funky when it does work.
I installed my Boot camp drivers from the Mac Pro (2008) disc that came with my MP - didn't have any troubles with those - all I really wanted was to use another GB or 2 of RAM..... instead I get constant lockups.

You need the 64-bit version of Vista for one thing to use more than 1.9GB RAM.
Most of the problems people have with SP1 update have been pre-existing 'dirty file system'
To backup or clone Vista, I would use WinClone from OS X, or use Vista Businss/Ultimate before hand to backup files and system and make sure you have a good restore point before applying updates. Taht is one thing I would like to see Apple do, which MS updates often will.

Window 8 32 bit Boot camp?

I have already installed windows in Imac (late 2012). But im not able to install the boot camp in Window 8 32 bit. So let me know which version boot camp is supportable in it.

Which versions of Windows work with Boot Camp 5.1?
Boot Camp 5.1 supports 64-bit, non-Enterprise versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1. This version of Boot Camp doesn't support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or any 32-bit version of Windows. Depending on your Mac, you may be able to use an earlier version of Boot Camp to work with other versions of Windows. For details, see the Boot Camp system requirements for Microsoft Windows.

Time fix for Vista x64 via boot camp...

Can someone tell me what specific drivers I need to load from the Leopard DVD to correct the constant changing of my the time on my Mac when I boot into Windows?
Vista x64.
Tried the registry changes, but they only seem to help temporarily as the time will get messed up later on (even when I have Internet time disabled).
Really frustrating problem as I have date/time stamp issues with development software I use (Visual Studio 2008).
Typically my PC will show 8 hours ahead. (I'm in Pacific Time zone).
Thanks, Rob.

Two ATI video cards in Vista 32 with Boot Camp

Hello,
I just installed a second ATI Radeon 1900 video card in my 2007 Mac Pro. It seems to work fine while in OS X, I can adjust and use three different monitors at once. However, while in Vista 32, only two monitors on one card will work and the video is mirrored. I tried adjusting it in the control panel but it could only see one monitor. I also tried to install the ATI catalyst manager but I cannot seem to find the application, it seems to not install correctly. The two screens worked fine before installing another video card of the same model. Is there anything I can do to get all three screens to work correctly?
Thanks for any help

I have used the Expansion Slot Utility to change several different settings. I tried one where the original card was on x16 and the second card was on a x1 or x2, and another attempt where both cards were on x8. For use with OS X it didn't make a huge difference, they all worked fine. However in Vista, I cannot get the cards to work when both are installed. The card will function fine in x8 or x16 while it's on it's own but when the second one is connected no card works well. I have installed catalyst and new drivers, in Vista. When only one card is installed the ati driver works fine and catalyst can control the monitor. With the second card installed the driver doesn't load. I have also updated the firmware with the boot camp firmware ati update.
Thanks for any help or suggestions, I may go back to VGA splitter for Vista.

Updating radeon 4850 on windows 7 64-bit (boot camp)

hello,
I am running windows 7 64 bit on boot camp. I have a 27'' imac with the ati radeon HD 4850.
The problem is the driver of that card is dated to 11/24/2009 which is very old!
There is a new driver that ATI proposes, which is released in 2011
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx?type= 2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.36.3.1&lang=us&rev=&ostype=Windows%207%20-%2064-Bit%20Edit ion#1
How can I update it? problem is windows is telling me the driver is up to date.
And when Im downloading the display driver, and i try to install it manually, windows is telling me that it is not compatible with the windows version.
I am 100% sure I have a windows 64 bit as it says when i right click properties my computer.
Thx for the help

Sorry to say that you HAVE to only use the graphics drivers that Apple offers thru its Software Update feature. The driver that you want to update to is compatible with Windows, but apparently is NOT compatible with Apple's OSX and so would prohibit your graphics card from displaying while you were booted into OSX. Yes, even though Apple's version is an older one.
Hope this helps

64 bit or 32 bit - Boot Camp Windows

Hello, I am going to download the release candidate of windows 7 to run in boot camp and I am wondering if i should download the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version

I installed both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of the latest RC of Windows 7 using parallels.
For some reason the 64bit version under Parallels does not load the AC97 driver so sound does not work. Manually installed the realtek AC97 driver causes sound to be intermittent.
The 32 bit version does not have this error.

Windows 7 Boot Issues (After Installation via Boot Camp)

Hi All
Today I attempted to install Windows 7 x64 on my mac via boot camp.
The install went fine, and I installed the necessary drivers using my Mac OSX Install DVD.
When I restarted I could select Windows as the disc I wanted to boot into, but after selecting it, I only saw the white blinking cursor at the top left hand side of the screen for a few seconds before the computer restarted and booted into OSX.
I tried it a few more times just to make sure it wasn't a one off.
I then inserted my Windows install disc and attempted to repair startup. There were no issues detected.
I can also successfully boot into Windows 7 through VMWare Fusion in OSX, leading me to believe that there must be some thing wrong on the Mac end of booting (although I'm not familiar with the booting process in Mac, so I'm not really sure).
If anyone has any idea what's wrong, I'd really like a hand!
Thanks
