Left 4 Dead on Windows 7 RC1

I know it's asking a lot but I'd like to see L4D work in Windows 7 RC1 in Boot Camp
I have RC1 fully patched and the Boot Camp 2.1 drivers for Vista 32 bit installed but my CD keeps getting rejected when I insert it in the drive.
Thoughts? Lost cause?
Regards,
jmb

In the unlikely event that someone has a similar problem, here is the solution:
I was not a Steam expert going into this whole ordeal but a friend of mine dropped some knowledge on me...under My Games you can activate a Steam game online. I entered my valid serial number and the download of Left 4 Dead began without need for the CD
Neat!

  • Satellite L500-1ZC - Left 4 Dead 2 is lagging

    Hi, I was wondering if anybody can help me fix my lag in Left 4 Dead 2.
    I have an average fps of 10-20 on all maps. I run it on the lowest resolution, lowest settings and even tried using files that help with the lag. I do not have this problem on any of the other Steam games, only on Left 4 Dead 2.
    Can anybody suggest anything? Thanks.

    Hey,
    You know that your model is only equipped with Intel graphic card?! I mean such Intel cards are not designed for gaming, they are only a good choice for Windows and mobile usage because they dont have much 3D performance
    Everything what you can do is installing the latest display driver and using lowest graphic settings of your game. Furthermore you should choose the High Performance mode for playing games.
    Unfortunately I think your graphic card is not powerful enough for this game :(
    Check the requirements of your game!!!

  • Left 4 Dead 2

    I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. It is the 2.53 Ghz with 4 GB of RAM. If I install Windows XP using Bootcamp, will I be able play Left 4 Dead 2 on it?

    I don't have the same config as you do but I just loaded Win XP Pro and then Left 4 Dead this weekend. It really plays amazingly well on my machine. In fact I can't wait for L4D2 and Diablo 3 now!

  • "Computer restarted because of a problem" crashes when playing Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2

    My MacBook Pro 2011 keeps on crashing and restarting itself when playing 15 minutes or so of Portal 2 or Left 4 Dead 2 through Steam.
    I get a warning saying something along the lines of "The computer restarted because of a problem etc..." and then the MBP boots back up.
    I've verified and repaired the disk and its permissions and I reset the PRAM (as recommended in a couple of blogs I found).
    I just loaded L4D2 up and 5 mins in the crash happens again. This time the system rebooted without the warning screen I mentioned before.
    Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to prevent it? I can't seem to find any conversations directly related to Steam or the 2 Valve games causing this crash.
    I used to run a Windows partition on the MBP through Bootcamp. That never had any issues running games but I recently removed it to free up some space.
    I'll post my error report below in another post if that helps.
    Thanks!

  • How do I delete the search feature from the bookmarks section (left side of the window when open)? Just the search feature in bookmarks.

    I don't know if it's always been there, but there is a search box now at the top of my Bookmarks toolbar that opens on the left side of my window. When the Bookmarks toolbar is open the first thing is Bookmarks and the X to close bookmarks. Just below that is a search box. I don't have a lot of bookmarks and don't want the search box. How do I get rid of the search box?

    Sounds that you have the bookmarks sidebar open.
    *Toggle the Bookmarks sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebar > Bookmarks" or Ctrl+B (Command+B on Mac)
    *Toggle the History sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebar > History" or Ctrl+H (Command+H on Mac)
    You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks (star) and the history (clock) in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.<br />
    There are two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu (you may not see the drop marker in the Customize window).<br />
    The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.

  • WIndows Vista RC1 (No Drivers)

    Well, hey there.
    I've just installed Windows Vista RC1 (March 2009). It's pretty recent.
    I went ahead and installed my Boot Camp drivers, but lo and behold nothing installed. I figured it was a botched installation, formatted that partition, and started again.
    So, I have tried once again and I am having all kinds of problems. For some reason I can't change the brightness of my monitor or keyboard (both are max all the time) and much of my hardware is not recognized. (By 'much' I mean 'all'. I manually installed a wireless driver.)
    Vista installs smoothly, I go about installing the BootCamp drivers and the installation window itself says it's installing each component, but the device manager isn't changing at all. Everything remains "Generic" & "Unrecognized".
    I just want Vista to play some games so I can blow off some steam & to do some 3ds Max stuff for college.
    Why is this simple process of installation so difficult?
    This Apple business is becoming very stressful very quickly.
    What I want is some regular old drivers for my stuff to work, there's nothing unique about the hardware so why is it so awkward and frustrating & difficult to get drivers? At best, can someone maybe tell me what kinds of hardware would be in the late 2008 MacBook Pro & how do I get my brightness adjustments to work?
    And also, why don't Apple just have individual drivers for download: Nearly every other manufacturer & vendor does (Dell, HP, Sony, Lenovo, Acer, etc.. They use third party hardware and drivers too).

    I don't have a MacBook series, and in the folder "Apple" are drivers for various devices.
    Try to install directly. If not try using Device Manager to update.
    And try running system file checker just for good measure
    *sfc /scannow*
    and follow that up with hardware check of your boot partition (schedule chkdsk).
    Whether you can install Nvidia drivers manually or not, that would help.
    And DO create system restore points and backups.

  • Installing Windows 7 RC1 with Boot Camp AND Parallels?

    I have a 24" iMac (2009 model) and have successfully installing Windows 7 RC1 using Boot Camp. No problems at all and everything is working fine. But now I'm contemplating purchasing Parallels and using Windows 7 in a window.
    I just need to know the steps involved and how this works. First I purchase and install Parallels. Then I run it and somehow tell it to use my Boot Camp partition for the VM, right? In this way, I'm assuming I don't actually have to install Windows 7 again or make another partition, right? Once I get the VM installed, then I can either boot to Windows 7 from startup OR boot from within Mac OS using Parallels and it would be the same?
    If I can do it this way, can anyone point me to step-by-step instructions on how to choose the right settings in Parallels? I have found instructions for installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp and Parallels separately, but not how to use the Boot Camp install for the VM in Parallels.

    Wow, it was much easier than I thought it would be! Downloaded the trial of Parallels. Installed it and pointed it to my Boot Camp partition with Windows 7 installed on it. And minutes later, I'm up and running with Windows 7 in Parallels. Sound didn't work at first, but after I did a Windows Update, it installed the correct driver and now everything is working great. I can't believe how smooth this thing runs within Leopard. I allocated 1GB of RAM for WIndows 7 and it's seems fine so far, but I really haven't run any resource-intensive apps yet.

    How to remove black "blocked plug-in" window that opens with iPhoto. It covers iPhoto and everything under it. I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away. It stays on my screen (covering my desktop icons) even after I quit iPhoto. How can I get it off my screen?

    Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
    Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins  installed?
    Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
    To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto.  Is there anything installed?

  • TC and Windows 7 RC1

    Just wondering if anyone has tried connecting to their Time Capsule (dual band) using Windows 7 RC1. I am having issues connecting. Any help would be great. Since it is only a RC neither Microsoft nor Apple has been able to help me.

    I don't have the dual-band TC, but I do have the dual-band AirPort Extreme Base Station and I'm not having any issues connecting my PC that is running Windows 7 RC1 (x64). I also can connect to it with my MacBook with the same Windows 7 OS running under Parallels.

  • Missing Menu Pane on the Left-Hand Side of Window

    Can anybody help me figure out how I can make the menu pane appear on the left-hand side of the iPhoto window? I can barely navigate through the application without it.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Move your cursor to the extreme left of the iPhoto Window until it becomes a ‘+’, then click and drag right.
    Regards

  • Windows 7 RC1 not recognising my fatal1ty headset microphone

    greetings,
    I have got a problem, I recently switched to windows 7 RC1 and now I cannot get the mic to work.
    My soundhardware:
    x-fi titanium soundcard
    fatal1ty gaming headset (not the USB one)
    sound output works normal, windows even recognises that my line-in is active BUT I am getting no input from my microphone at all.
    Anyone know what this could be? (I am running the newest beta drivers for my soundcard btw)
    thanks in advance

    Hi Vanilla,
    sorry to see that no one has replied to your problem.... I have the same issue here.
    I used to have Vista 64bit installed on my Desktop with a Vista that is supposed to be onl;y used for my Dell Laptop......Windows has noticed this and will not let me do updates anymore to my Desktop
    So I reinstalled Windows 7 64bit that I had installed a while ago and now I have no mic to use on Teamspeak. My headset (Sennheiser PC350) worked with Vista 64bit. I am just doimng the Auto update from Creative and have also downloaded the beta drivers from Creative for Windows 7. If I have any luck getting my Mic working I will let you know. I would appreciate if you could do the same to me if you get yours working.
    Good luck to both of us.....
    Cheers

  • I forgot how to use the setting, move the mouse to the upper left corner and the windows become smaller for an overview?

    I'm not quite sure what you want - if you want an overview of all open windows, use the F key.. Otherwise please post back and be more specific.

  • Windows 7 RC1 installs as  "Not Genuine"

    I have successfully installed Windows 7 RC1 on my MacBook Pro. When I start Windows, I get a dialogue box advising me to "Activate Windows Now". However, it won't allow me to Activate - says that my pre-release version of Windows has expired. Windows also shows a static message in the lower right of the desktop which says:
    Build 7100
    This copy of Windows is not genuine.
    I am using a legal, ligitimate copy of Windows 7 RC1, downloaded from the MicroSoft Windows 7 RC1 website. Windows Update works fine and the Windows OS appears to be working apart from some weirdness with the trackpad and a few other (so far) minor issues.
    Is this normal for a Windows 7 installation? If not, what is causing it?

    I've been seeing that lately. But when I click on ACTIVATE it takes just fine.
    One time I installed on one mobo and moved the drive and had to re-activate. Another time, used the 64-bit key but it was 32-bit version - but activation still took.
    Because the download period was extended, my guess is there is a misconfiguration on the part of Microsoft activation servers and coding errors.

  • Somehow I lost being able to see my bookmarks along the left margin of my window and also the options at the top. Please help fix.

    Somehow I can no longer see my bookmarks on the left side of my window. Also some of the icons at the top of my window are gone and I can't move them on the toolbar. Please help fix.

    If the "Menu Bar" is hidden then the Menu bar gets replaced by the orange Firefox button.
    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
