Intermittent response of the trackpad in Windows 7 with Bootcamp 3.0

Hi all,
I have a problem with the trackpad (in macbook air). In Windows 7 with bootcamp 3.0, sometimes (more often after waking up from sleep) the trackpad does not response smoothly. It intermittently stops responding a few seconds and works again. When I plug in a USB mouse and use it, there is no such problem with the USB mouse. This problem only happens with the trackpad. I suspect this problem is caused by the bootcamp driver with Windows 7. Is there anybody who has the same problem?
Cheers,

Force a chkdsk
chkdsk C: /f
Change "C" to what your system drive is.
Boot from your system disk for Windows if it still happens.
Next step is to scan for bad blocks, then move on to recertify the drive.
But I would not be using the drive, and unless it is totally benign and erroneous, looking for a patch or fix. Definitely not from Windows Update.
I've had drives that really should be certified and extended test - in Windows - to look for bad sectors before using or installing a system.
If it is an issue with dual-boot and you shrunk Vista to make room, EasyBCD along with Windows DVD might help.
If something is interferring with shutdown and not writing out changes that are cached, might look in that direction.
Last, if you upgraded from Vista, maybe a custom clean install again. Backup your data with Windows Easy Transfer first and reinstall system and apps afterwards.
Maybe Windows backup image and restore, or Norton Ghost 15 comes out tomorrow. Not sure I'd trust WinClone, Windows 7 made changes, and there is now a 100MB system recovery partition... which I'm surprised it doesn't automatically ask to use.

What DVD drive are you using?

For the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

Then you might check at any of the other university book stores or software stores or any computer store in town for the 64-bit version.
If you want to use the 32-bit version from the school (you probably get it for free or very cheap) then you could purchase Parallels and run it as a virtual machine concurrently with OS X. There are some caveats:
1. You have to purchase Parallels (there may be an academic discount.) List is $79.95.
2. Your computer needs minimally 4 GBs of RAM, but realistically 8 GBs would be better.
3. Parallels creates a pseudo-drive on your hard drive. It could easily require 50 GBs of disk space.
Accommodating these might be more costly than buying 64-bit Windows 7. And, if you look online you may find them with an academic discount (or may be able to order it through the school.)

After upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues

after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Display area is too small on windows with bootcamp

My 1920x1080 display is shrunk (appears small with a black border around it) on windows with bootcamp, but looks fine on the mac side.
I'm going from the macpro display port converted to hdmi and plugged into the hdmi plug on a dell P2413T monitor which has a resolution of 1920x1080.
I'm using bootcamp with windows 7 home premium. Radeon 5870 card
All my ati drivers are updated. I took the time to update them all. The dell drivers are updated also.
The monitor looks great on the mac side. On the pc side it is shrunk so there is a black border of 3/4 inch or so around the edges. It also looks odd.
How do I resolve this. Is it a problem with the hdmi connector, the graphics card, bootcamp, windows?

There are overscan/underscan settings in OSX for 1080p displays.
OS X Yosemite: If the picture doesn’t fill the TV screen
Learn about overscan and underscan - Apple Support
Look in Display Advanced settings in Control Panel.
Can you try a DVI connector?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you installed Windows properly, you can still start in OS X and use it whenever you want. However, Boot Camp changes the startup partition to Windows, so you may note that you can't use Mac OS X.
There are two ways of starting in OS X:
1. Hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting until you see all the bootable partitions in the screen, and choose your OS X partition.
2. Hold the X key while your computer is starting.
If you have a iMac or a Bluetooth keyboard, make sure you hold the key after hearing the startup chime.
If you want to start in OS X by default, after starting in OS X, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X partition

HT5639 Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed

Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
In some cases, there may be slowness in OS X because of the lack of free space. However, you shouldn't note this and in most of cases, performance is the same in Windows and OS X after installing Windows, more in the case of a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
The only thing you have to worry is to give Windows the necessary space. The MacBook Pro with Retina display hasn't got a lot of storage

Problem with the wireless speed on windows with bootcamp

I've got a problem with the following:
the wireless card of my mac pro is very slow when i run windows on my mac pro with bootcamp
When i just run OSX everything works fine, but in windows, when I connect to the wireless my wireless speed
drops to 11-18mbs.
First I thought that it was a drivers issue, but after the update of bootcamp drivers 1.4 the problem still exist.
First I had a Topcom wireless router now I've bought a Apple Airport Extreme, but the problem isn't solved yet...
The router isn't 2 meters away from my mac.
And the wireless speed is fine when i connect with my dads windows laptop...
Does anyone has a solution? using a cable isnt a solution for me because in September I will move with my mac pro one floor down.

You might want to ask this in the Boot Camp forums. As your wireless work fine under Mac OS X it sounds to be a software issue as opposed to a hardware one which means as Windows users they'll better be able to help.

Sizing the Flash Movie Window with HTML

Hello,
I don't know why I'm having such a problem with this, but I'm
trying to open my Flash Player in a locked dimention (600 x 450).
what's happening is an <a href is opening the html file
published with the swf... which in turn of course launches the
swf... I've been trying to make the swf pop up at 600x450 but so
far no luck. It just pops up as the same size as the previous
window. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? oh, i'd also like to
have the swf pop up without the menus/toolbars/etc.
Thanks!

You don't say or show what you've tried, so it's difficult to
show what
you've done wrong.
From your description it sounds like you want to open a new
custom
chromeless window. To do that, you need to use the Javascript
window.open() method.
You can find thousands of examples in this forum with a
simple search.
You can also google "window.open" and get thousands more
examples.

When I start FCPX it stops with the blue-red window with the text Reading "Music at Siljan - day 5" event. Whatever I do it won´t open up so I can work. Do anyone know how to boot up? I tried to restart my computer but nothing helps.

When I start Final Cut Pro X it don´t come further then to the blue-red window Final Cut Pro X Version 10.0 and underneath that the text Reading "Musik vid Siljan - dag 5" event. Please help me!!!!

It seems something is corrupt in that event. One thing to try is to temporarily move the folder for that event out of the Final Cut Events folder using the Finder. Then try to open FCP X. If it now opens, you know that event is corrupt. As to how to fix a corrupt event? Not sure there is a better way than reimporting the media as a new event.

The infamous RAM issue with bootcamp

Sp, I have seen a lot of threads about RAM issues when using bootcamp.
I'm about to install Windows XP SP 3 using bootcamp - how much RAM will be utilized when using my windows partition?
I have a MBP 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3 GB RAM and Radeon X 1600 256 mb RAM.
Looking forward to your responses.
Thanks

This is not so much an issue with Bootcamp as it is an issue with Windows. On any machine, Mac or PC, Windows will only recognize approximately 3GB of RAM. The only Windows Operating Systems that are capable of going higher are the 64-bit OS choices. So, if and when you upgrade your MacBook Pro to 4GB of RAM, Windows will still only see 3GB. Just a heads-up.

Trying to install Windows with Bootcamp

Hello. First, I do know this has been a recurrent trouble for a lot of Mac user who have tried to install Windows using Bootcamp. Believe me, I've looked it up both here in the Apple Communities and in saint Google. My situation is, however, that I have replaced my optical drive with a SSD, and now my optical drive works externally, via USB. Everytime I try to install Windows in a dedicated partition in the SSD, it just stays forever in a blank screen with blinking cursor.
Apple's troubleshot won't work for me, and I'm beginning to think that the issue has more to do with the optical drive itself. I tried:
To install Windows on the HDD instead of SSD.
To unplug every USB (even mouse), except for the optical drive with Windows 7.
To install it via USB stick (creating a bootable .iso with Disk Utility). In this case the usb stick does not even appear when holding option key.
To try another Windows 7 version (32/64 bits).
I have even read it might be because of a bad installation of the RAM memory... this makes no sense?!
If anyone has encountered this same situation, I'd appreciate some help. Hope I can get this done, because Steam's Age Of Empires won't ever work in OS X :S
Thank you all for reading and helping!

If your Mac was originally configured with a built-in Optical drive, and it was later replaced, Bootcamp knows your original configuration and will not work properly in the modified configuration, because it uses your Mac's model string (found in About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Hardware) for example, MacbookPro 11,3. The only supported method to install Windows is to restore the original HW configuration and install it and then move hardware around.

Help! OpenGl on windows with bootcamp

Hi, so I've installed windows 8 on my iMac sucessfully, but for some reason (after updating the drivers through intel AND bootcamp) my opengl is still only 1.1 and i cant figure out how to update it. Most of the games i am trying to play require atleast opengl 3.0. Also my sound wont work when i use windows (using headphones and external speakers, neither work). Any information will help, thank you!

if the video card driver does not support OpenGL 3 then you're out of luck
you should stick with the latests bootcamp driver found here
get the latests version which list support for your mac
Apple - Support - Downloads
and you can see if your hardware support various games on this site

also not sure what you try to update drivers from intel does all mid 2011 not come with amd radeon ?

After the installation of win7 with bootcamp Lion stops booting at apple logo. Any help to fix this ?

I installed Windows 7 with Bootcamp on a new iMac 21inch with Lion. Everything went well. While running win7 I installed some software like Daemon Tools and Fear 3. It runs perfectly. When I reboot into Lion (throught Bootcamp) the computer stops at the Apple logo. It stays there for hours. I checked and restored the Macintosh HD but it keeps hanging. After restoring a backup with timemachine everthing works fine and the computer boots into Lion. Rebooting in Windows is working, but again when I reboot into Lion it stops at the Apple logo. Anyone can help me fix this ?

I have trouble understanding
When or how ?
When you SET LION to be the default startup disk / OS from Windows Taskbar? from Windows control panel "Boot Camp" where you can also set the default?
If you have any external drives, disconnect them, and anything else.
If you set Lion to be the default in Lion System Preferences control panel "startup disk" - then boot into Windows using Alt or Control panel, then let it restart itself and go into Mac OS X.
Normally trouble booting Mac OS is due to a check disk going on, dirty file system journal directory or from forced hard restarts.
Boot into Recovery Partition Mode and check your partitions and repair. Command R
There are details though that are probably missing.
