Just installed Vista 32-bit

Hi i just installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and i installed the ethernet driver for my MBP, but when i try to connect to the internet nothing happens in device manager it says its up to date. Also I have read everywhere that bootcamp is supposed to offer a burn for a drivers disc, well mine never did that so is there anywhere where i can get the vista 32-bit drivers for this thing id really like to use it for some things that i need windows for. Thanks

Put the OS X installation disc in the SuperDrive with it booted in Vista, then run setup.exe from the disc to install the drivers. After that, run the Apple Updater in Vista to update to the latest drivers (it's in the Vista Program Directory, somewhere).

Just installed Vista 64 bit

This seems to be a problem for alot of people and I have looked all through the forums, but the replys do not seem to be helping me. I just bought a new computer system and am usuing Vista 64 bit OS. I have downloaded iTunes7.6 64 bit.. After I installed iTunes and Quicktime, iTunes will not open. The message I get is..A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Thats it. Quicktime is running fine. I even created another user account and still have the same problem. I have deleted and reinstalled numerous time with the same outcome. I now have no clue so if anyone could help me I would be very grateful!
Thanks for the time

Okay. If the problem still arises in the other user account, then it's a systemwide thing. There are a few additional suggestions (that you haven't mentioned having checked on so far) in the "System-wide troubleshooting" section of the following document:

Trouble installing Vista 64 bit home premium

I am trying to use boot camp to install Vista 64 bit home premium. The disk is a full install. Boot camp works fine, but when I insert the windows disk and attempt to boot off of it, I am confronted with a screen that gives me two options with no names, labeled only 1 and 2, and instructions to select a CD boot type. However, I cannot select any of them because my keyboard does not work! I have tried several times, with several partition sizes, and even brought out an old USB Microsoft keyboard, which is still not recognized. I have done this with only non-apple peripherals, as well - microsoft mouse, acer monitor, and all USB devices plugged directly into the back of the computer. I have not seen this problem listed anywhere else, so can anyone here help me? I have looked everywhere. Thank you.

It is an issue iwth our older EFI 1.x (or EFI32) and Vista SP1 64-bit that needs UEFI 2.x (EFI64).
Sort of the same issue as the Nvidia 8800GT had to come out in two flavors.
I have Windows already installed, older pre-SP1, and from there I can install SP1 DVD.
At this point, I much prefer Windows 7 over Vista x64 SP1 or SP2(beta). Just runs better. Last day tomorrow maybe to download.

To install Vista (64 bit) do you have to install 64 bit XP??

I've tried and failed at a fresh install of Vista (on a separate HD) WITHOUT Boot Bamp. It crashes...
So I tried using Boot Camp and XP but only have the 32 bit version of XP.
Is the key to instally Vista using a 64 bit XP first??
I have a brand new MacPro 3gig with a fresh, second 500gb HD that I'd like to put Vista on....
Thanks

There are many users who have had success in installing Vista onto their Intel Macs although I believe there's a small trick to it. So, what you might want to do is search some other forums. I would start with the Boot Camp forums and then move onto other Intel Mac forums such as the iMac, MacBook or MacBook Pro forums.
By the way, you should not need a 64-bit version to work with the Mac Pro. A 32-bit version should be just fine.

"Not fully ACPI Compliant" error message in BIOS when installing Vista 64-bit

When I try to install Vista 64 Ultimate I get this message after the initial black and white loading bar screen: "cannot install because the BIOS in this sytem is not fully ACPI compliant"
Board: 975X Platinum V.2 "20th Anniversary Edition"
Board Bios: 7.8 (tried to install 7.9 but failed (usb flash and msi online)
CPU: Core 2 Duo E6400
Memory: 2X2GB A-Data Dual Channel
Tried many solutions from other forums but didn't worked (disabling/enabling >> usb, parallel-game, acpi, apm) also tried with ps2 keyboard only., also with only 1 stick of ram....but nothing worked....
What the heck is going on?
I'm currently running XP SP3 perfectly, but I wanted to upgrade to Vista 64 and buy another 4gb of ram, etc.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

IT WORKED!!!
After the upgrade to the 7.9 BIOS, everything went smoothly.
Thanks guys you rock!!!
NOTE: I've read so many posts here from members and mods recommending to NOT flash the BIOS unless is inminent...I guess is good advice, but on the MSI website, the only new feature they mention about the 7.9 update is: "Add USB storage bootable function"....but then again, the update fixed my problem (read first post). So you never know...

Just installed vista and bootcamp won't install because it needs windows 7 in order to install properly

Hey so i just bought by 15" MacbooK Pro yesterday and wanted to install windows vista on it. I'm to the part where you're supposed to install windows bootcamp but a message comes up saying that it needs windows 7 in order to install properly. What do i do?? I have the upgrade version of windows 7 (whcih i was going to eventually install) but when i tried installing it an error message came up saying that it needs vista service pack 1 to install. In order to install that service pack I need to connect to the internet. I can't connect to the internet, though, without installing the drivers from bootcamp!! AHH! see how this is frustrating? PLEASE HELP ASAP!

Reboot your computer while holding down the option key. You should be presented with the option to boot into OSX. Once booted into OSX start Boot Camp Assistant and select remove the Boot Camp Partition.
I know Boot Camp Assistant was not installed in Windows. It is an OSX application for creating and removing a Boot Camp partition. It is run from OSX.

Installing Vista 64 bit edition

I just got a brand new Macbook Pro 2.6 ghz with the 512mb geforce 8600 chip and 4 gb of ram. I want to take advantage of this hardware with the 64 bit version of vista and bootcamp, but can't find the software in any stores... only the 32 bit version.
there are OEM versions online, are those the same thing? They seem to be quite a bit cheaper. Sorry if this is a really bad question, I've never had a computer that needed dual operating systems before. Thanks a lot in advance guys!!

It's a bit silly of MS not to include 64-bit media with all versions.
However, if you buy a 32-bit full retail version, for a small fee MS
will send you the 64-bit media. Here's the order page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/compare-editions/64-bit.aspx
The fee I paid was about $15 in U.S. money.
Note: this is not necessary for Vista Ultimate.

System restore on DV6 not working after new hard drive installed (Vista 32-bit)

Hi there,
I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment laptop (DV6 1210sa) and recently on start up I have been receiving a message saying that the hard drive is at imminent risk of failure. I therefore burned the restore CDs and bought a new hard drive: (A Toshiba 2.5 inch 80gb SATA hard drive 5400 RPM). The first part of the restore completes successfully then the HP screen appears after a restart and then goes to install windows, but before this begins I receive a message saying “Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer.” I then have to restart and get the same message. Is this drive somehow incompatible? Is there something I’m missing?
Thanks in advance

Here are the factory specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-1210sa Entertainment Notebook Computer. Based on the specs, the original hard drive was 250GB. This could be a factor in your issue. It could also be that the drive is an advanced format (AF) drive. Please provide the model of the drive for our review.
Please send KUDOs

I just installed Vista for Business on my iMac (not a beta version)

So far most things run pretty smooth, though there are a few issues.
First off, there is no sound driver.
Second, the start up disk icon in the control panel doesnt work, so I have to go back to the Mac side by holding down the option key on start up.
and third, my Roxio Easy CD Creator says the trail time has expired. This is a full version and activated. I havent yet reinstalled it though.
Other than that it works great. I am sure Apple will give us the correct drivers in a future Boot Camp release.

Vista 64-bit + Bluetooth = No Drivers Found

I just installed Vista 64-bit and pairing my 8900 to my PC to sync via Bluetooth. I'm using a Linksys USBBT100 Bluetooth dongle. Sync'ing is working fine, but after pairing my 8900, Vista keeps prompting me to provide drivers for two Bluetooth devices:
"Bluetooth Peripheral Device"

I'm running BlackBerry Desktop Manager v4.7.0.32 [Nov 4 2008].
Previously on XP, the devices were detected and drivers installed, but I don't remember what the devices were. However, I'm thinking that one of these is the modem.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, Have you fixed this driver problem yet? I have a new 64-bit vista laptop and am experiencing a similar problem. I believe that BlackBerry does not have adequate drivers for 64-bit Vista.
My old XP laptop is 32 bit and works fine with bluetooth. However, two of the bluetooth services for blackberry fail under 64 bit and don't install device drivers.
I checked the error logs and they indicate that the driver is not loaded or working for Bluetooth with Blackberry devices. My guess is that RIM has not fully developed/teste the 64 bit vista device drivers.
The device will work fine in hard-wired USB tethered mode, it just won't work with bluetooth 64-bit vista.
The upshot is don't use blackberry bluetooth on 64 bit vista, use it with XP.
Maybe RIM will fix this in the next version of Windows, Windows 7.

Vista 64 bit and new MacBook Pro 17"

Any idea where to get Boot Camp drivers for the new 17" MBPro? When trying to install Vista 64 bit the system claims there are no drivers available from the OS X disk or when trying to run the 2.1 update.
Thanks!

Macs that support Vista 64-bit:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
And, Boot Camp 2.1 drivers included in 10.5.4+ DVD
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1999
If you don't have or see /BootCamp on your OEM or retail DVD that came with your 17" MacBook Pro, you may need to contact Apple Care or Customer Service.
Even though the above article does not specifically mention the 17" model (newest and latest) I assume it is just that article(s) aren't always updated in a timely enough fashion.
I would not bother with the download, or even via Apple SU if it does 'offer' 2.1, and just use your Leopard DVD. (If you do want to install or update, then be sure to create a Restore Point; use WinClone and/or Vista Ultimate PC Backup and Restore center and backup your system to external drive.

Our Setup: XP 64-bit or Vista 64-bit?

Let me break down the situation here:
A year ago we built a computer from scratch. I'll list some of the basic specs here:
A nice Tyan motherboard (can't remember the model)
4 GB of RAM (4 x 1 GB sticks)
an nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX video card
TWO Dual-Core AMD Opteron 270 (2.0 GHz) - [dualcore + dualprocessor]
10k Raptor hard drive for operating system
3x500GB RAID as "video" hard drive
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
Now, after building this computer over a year ago, Windows Vista had JUST been released, so we weren't interested in installing Vista yet, due to not knowing how great it would be. So with this awesome computer, we ended up just installing regular 32-bit ole' Windows XP on it.
Now it's been a year, and the computer is in need of a good format. We're trying to decide which operating system to install now. Obviously, XP32 is the SAFEST choice, but probably the slowest, considering we have dual-core dual-processor here and 4GB of RAM, and want to take advantage of all of this.
So I guess we're kind of wondering what to expect if we go to XP64 or Vista64. Which is going to give us better performance? This computer is basically ONLY for video editing, not much else. Literally installing Adobe's software, and maybe small needed things like Nero and whatnot. I haven't really heard too much about XP64, and a lot of the stuff I hear about Vista is conflicted. AND also keep in mind that next month, XP will be upgrading to SP3 and Vista will be upgrading to SP1, and VistaSP1 sounds quite promising.
All of the hardware and software we have apparently has Vista drivers (I've checked online), so there should be no concern here.
So it's simple. We're on XP32 at the moment. Should we go up to XP64 or Vista64, and if so, and which one and why?

Adobe Dynamic Link "Import After Effects comp" fails in Vista Business 64 bit
I am posting this, since in my search, I found no other reference to this problem on the web. If someone has a fix then great. Should someone have the same issue, it may confirm a glitch running CS3 Production Premium in Vista 64 bit. I run XP 64 bit and Vista 64 bit on a dual boot (same hardware) so it was easy for me to troubleshoot the " serious error" Premier gave me when I tried to import an After Effects comp through Dynamic link in Premier Pro. Below is the scenario.
1. The following sequence for Adobe Dynamic Link>New After Effects Composition works fine in both Win XP Pro 64 bit and Vista Business 64 bit :
I open After Effects CS3 to an untitled composition then leave AFX running in the background. Next I Open Premier Pro CS3 to create a new project in the following format:
Standard NTSC video (4:3 interlaced). 48kHz (16 bit) audio.
Editing mode: DV NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video Settings
Frame size: 720h 480v (0.900)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
Fields: Lower Field First
In Premier Pro CS3 I choose File> Adobe Dynamic Link>New After Effects Composition. My project window now has a 11 sec dynamic link linked comp 0 movie file which is black video. I return to After Effects and find a new comp named "dynamic link Linked Comp". I import a Microsoft DV 720 X 480 48.000kHz/16 bit stereo 30 sec video into the AFX Project window then drag it to the timeline. I return to Premier Pro and find the 30 sec movie in the Premier timeline. I am able to make changes to the movie in AFX and they reflect in the Premier timeline.
2. The next sequence for Adobe Dynamic Link>Import After Effects fails running on my Vista Business 64 bit OS. It works perfectly running on Win XP Pro 64 bit.
I open After Effects, import an NTSC Microsoft DV 720 X 480 48.000kHz/16 bit stereo 30 sec video, drag video into the "create a new comp button" at the bottom of the project file then save the comp. I open a new Standard NTSC video (4:3 interlaced) project in Premier Pro CS3 then choose File>Adobe Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition. I get an Adobe Premier Alert " Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." I click OK and Premier closes.
System: Dual boot Win XP Pro 64 bit and Vista Business 64bit, 3.2 GHz Pentium D 940 Dual core, Asus P5WD2 Premium motherboard, 8 gig Crucial DDR-2 667 ram, WD 5000AAKS and WD 7500AAKS SATA hard drives, Dual Asus EAX300 Video cards.
The above comparisons were done on a fresh load of both OS's with the latest drivers and the only programs I had installed were Microsoft Office 2003 Pro, Quicktime, Firefox and Acrobat. I have all the latest CS3 updates for Production Premium and the latest Windows updates.

Just installed Vista 32-bit
