Installed windows 7 on macbook but im having a few problems...

I decided to install windows on my macbook since i want to play games and it is restricted in macbook...
So i installed windows 7 ultimate 32 bit, but i can't open the games i installed because of some directx problem, it literally says that i should install directx 9 which is required for the game. The problem is that i have directx 11 which is up to date and as far as i'm concerned if i have directx 11 i also have directx 9.
I googled the situation and saw that it might be related with some kind of "driver problem". It says that i need to update some of my drivers or something.
Im not an expert about these kind of stuff so i would really appreciate it if someone helped me!
I really tried hard to find a solution but i think i lack of some info, and i can't go any forward, so please help me out!

1 That's a Windows problem, not a Mac problem. You might get better help on a Windows forum.
2 You might have been better served to have installed Win7 64 than 32.
3 If the game wants DirectX 9 and won't work with DirectX 11, it might be a good idea to contact the game's vendor. Also, you might try downloading DirectX 9 from sites such as <http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/directx.html>. (Note: download Windows drivers at your own risk. I have not downloaded anything from that site. I do not have any connection to that site other than knowing that it allegedly has DirectX 9 available for download. Use at your own risk. I'd back up before installing, but YMMV.)
Which game is this? What are the system requirements? Hint: some games which run in WinXP will NOT run in Vista or Win7. What are the hardware requirements?

    I still don't know which version of OSX you have but assuming it's 10.7 or 10.8 .....
    You need to press command-R (at the sound of the chime) to get into recovery, try that, if it does not work try command-option-R for Internet Recovery.

  • Cannot boot from usb flash to install Windows 8 on Macbook Pro 13"

    Hi! All
    I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 13" and I want to install Windows 8 on it. I use bootable USB stick, which I can boot fine from on my PC, so I assume it's not the USB stick that is a problem. First of all Bootcamp didn't recognise it. Fine, I partitioned the laptop's hard drive myself. Then while rebooting I held the Option key to manually select the USB drive, but it did not appear on the list. As someone suggested on the internet I even replugged USB stick to another slot during while on that screen, but it didn't help too.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install Windows from a USB drive in one of these Macs:
    - MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    - Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
    - MacBook Air.
    - iMac (Late 2012).
    You don't have any of these computers, so you can't install Windows through a USB disk. Its firmware doesn't allow you to start up from your Windows installation disk.
    You have to buy Windows 8 on a DVD. You need a System Builder version, which you can buy at Amazon or NewEgg. Follow Apple's steps to install Windows on the MacBook Pro > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

    It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

    Is the USB devices a USB2 or USB3 device? Please run Disk Utility Repair. In some cases, re-installing OS X (which does not modify your files) also addresses this issue.

    Need to ascertain if I can install Windows Server 2012 and Sharepoint Server on an Intel i7 Quad Core 4 GB RAM 15" Macbook Pro.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Apple only supports client versions in Macs, but you should be able to install Windows Server. However, note that you may have problems installing Boot Camp drivers in order to make it work correctly.
    If you only want a computer for Windows Server, buy a PC. Macs aren't completely ready for Windows Server editions even if they may work

  • HT201612 I was trying to install windows using boot amp but now I can't boot my MaOckbook pro again

    I was trying to install windows using boot amp but now I can't boot my MacBook  pro again

    Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Boot Camp applet. In that applet there is a Boot Drive option. Select Mac OS X.
    Or restart the system and hold down the Option key for a few second. A Boot Menu screen will come up. Select Macintosh HD.
    Once in OS X go to the Sys Prefences, Startup Disk and select Macintosh HD Mt Lion 10.8.2 and click Restart then Restart again. the system will now restart in Mac OS X.
    To boot back to Windows do the same, Startup Disk, and select Windows then Restart and Restart again.
