No mouse cursor on one monitor - Windows 7 Boot Camp

Hello,
I installed Windows 7, and ran the boot camp installer; however, since then, my mouse cursor does not appear on one of my two monitors. I can still click on things (if I can figure out where my invisible mouse is), but the arrow itself is just gone. This is only the case within Windows; mouse works fine on the Mac end.
Hardware in question:
Computer - Mac Pro with NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics card
Monitor with issue - Hannspree widescreen monitor connected via HDMI cable + HDMI to mini DV adaptor
Other monitor - hp fullscreen monitor, connected via VGA
I'm wondering if it has something to do with my NVIDIA drivers on windows, because the mouse shenanigans seemed to start after this step in the Bootcamp installation process.
Any ideas for how to fix this?
Thanks very much.

Then google for Cirrus Logic Audio for Mac running Windows.

  • Wireless mouse does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp)

    Is there a way to get my wireless (Bluetooth) mouse to work under Windows XP? It is the mouse that came with my Mac Pro.
    I managed to install Windows XP Professional and the Boot Camp drivers w/o a mouse. But now that XP is running fine I still have no mouse. Tried the Control Panel > Bluetooth > Detect Devices (can't remember exact wording), but no Bluetooth device was detected.
    Yes I read the Boot Camp installation guide but hope that the USB mouse requirement was only for the installation part and that there is a way to make the mouse work after the Boot Camp drivers are installed.
    Many thanks for your help.
    Olaf

    Most untrue works just fine under Windows actually ,however you do need to repair with windows .AND only after OSx pairing complete AND the Boot camp drivers are installed in Windows.
    It uses a special profile to allow pairing in what is in essence two differing computers !
    Having said that to get the mighty mouse to pair under windows can take a bit of effort.
    When if finds the mouse and asks for a pairing password try either none or 0000!

  • Magic Mouse will not scroll in Windows 7 boot camp, but works fine in Mac OS

    I have a Magic Mouse that was working fine it would scroll and everything, then one day it just randomly stopped working in my Windows 7 bootcamp partiontion. I went to the Mac OS to see if there was anything wrong with the mouse, but it works fine in the Mac OS. I already made sure to install all available software updates but that doesnt seem to have helped. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    My wireless mouse is not recognized by Bootcamp bluetooth.

  • Windows 7 Boot Camp no longer recognize my wireless mouse and Keyboard?

    I have a mid 2011 27in iMac on 10.9.1 and I run Windows 7 via boot camp, sometimes Parallels as well. Today I tried to boot up in to Windows via Boot Camp, but I can not control the cursor or input anything via kayboard. This has happened before and I only got it working again after reinstalling Windows, which I am REALLY trying to avoid
    The thing is, when I boot in to Windows, it is definitely responding to the keyboard when I hold F8 to go in to safe mode, but once the desktop loads up, I lose any function of mouse or keyboard. Even when I try to manually add a device using a USB mouse, it is not detecting any wireless device.
    Both my Magic Trackpad and Wireless Keyboard work fine in OS X, Windows 7 when in Parallels and works during the start up of boot camp, but not when Windows 7's desktop boots up.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to download the drivers. To download them, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into Mac OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to download them. You will have to burn them onto a DVD or USB drive, so you will be able to install the drivers on Windows. Then, it should work fine.
    If you can't download them in Boot Camp Assistant, download the drivers from this website > http://www.cafe-encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers The links are from Apple and that's safe to download and install

  • How can I get Windows 7 Boot Camp to find my Magic Mouse?

    Hey!
    So I just bought a Magic Mouse and it works flawlessly in OS X.
    But when I use Windows 7 Boot Camp I can't find the mouse to add it as a new device. My bluetooth works just fine and I have the Boot Camp 3.3 drivers.
    I tried rebooting, turning the mouse off and on, read a bunch of guides on the internet but no one is having issues CONNECTING the mouse, only getting it to work, so my research is proving to be hard.
    Can you guys help me?
    Thanks!

    Hi Maia,
    Can you please mention your MAC model (MBA 2011, MBP, iMac?). Which OS X version?. Have you problems pairing other bluetooth devices?
    You may want to try the following setps.
    1.- First make sure that you have the latest EFI and software updates. Including latest bootcamp bluetooth drivers.
    2.- Unpair MM in Mac OSX
    3.- Do a Nvram and SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    4.- Restart
    5.- Pair your MM under Mac OSX
    6.- Boot on Bootcamp assiging bootcamp as a starting partition
    7.- Add your device.
    Let me know if that worked, there are another tricks you can try but I need additional information.

  • Simple question.  Will my Magic Mouse work in Windows 8 Boot Camp 5.1 (Mavericks)

    I think my question says it all.  My magic mouse is not working and will not pair with my Windows 8 Boot Camp install done from the Mavericks Boot Camp setup.  Should it work?  Does it not work?  Thanks.

    you don't mention what mac you have because I suspect that the bluetooth driver for windows only support 1 input at the time over bluetooth
    my magic trackpad works fine with bluetooth but my bluetooth mice require being run as usb device it can't connect using bluetooth at all

  • New Retina MBP + Windows 7 boot camp = no nVidia GPU

    I'm hoping someone will correct me wrong on this...
    I have a brand new 15" Retina MBP 2.6GHz 16GB RAM 500 SSD. 
    After finally getting Windows 7 SP1 installed (along with countless updates ) and boot camp 4.0, I have noticed some display problems.  My only reslution options are: 1600x1200 (which looks stretched), 1280x1024 (reallly stretched), and  lesser resolutions with which I didn't bother.  This didn't seem to make sense given the nVidia 650M. 
    Also, NONE of the external video ports are working (Thunderbolt to DisplayPort, HDMI to HDMI, HDMI to DVI) -- they're simply not getting a signal at all.
    So I went into device manager, and the 650M is not even showing up as being installed!  All I see is "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter", which tells me Windows is only acknowledging the integrated Intel graphics. 
    I can't simply install an nVidia driver, as it can't see the device onto which that driver would be applicable.
    I assumed this was an issue of the "automatic graphics switching."  Apple confirmed this, telling me that Windows doesn't have an option to choose between displays.  I couldn't find a way to trigger it with any third party app, either (including Adobe After Effects). 
    Further, Apple claims 64-bit drivers aren't yet available for this GPU, so even if I could switch it over, I'd have to step down to a 32-bit install.
    So, basically, my boot camp side looks like a netbook.
    I cannot be the only one experiencing this!
    Thanks in advance,
    Andrew

    I followed the boot camp manual exactly and the Nvidia drivers were not installed. I had to go into the Nvidia drivers directory in the windows support CD and manually run the setup.exe file. After that, the drivers were installed.
    Note: when you create your windows partition in boot camp, you will select custom, and then format. It is critical that you format your boot camp partition and not your OS X partition. It will not say boot camp, but you can tell it's the right one by its size. For example, if you selected a 40 GB size for boot camp, the size of the drive you select to format should be 40 GB.

    That is exactly what I said, are you sure you wanted to reply to me?
    FYI, In a normal Bootcamp installation the partition will be named Bootcamp

  • Will upgrading to Snow Leopard affect my Windows 7 boot camp partition?

    Hi,
    Did some preliminary searching on this before posting but couldn't find with confidence my answer. Does anybody know? Details below.
    Q: Will upgrading to Snow Leopard affect my Windows 7 boot camp partition?
    I'm running 10.5.8 on a single drive with two partitions. 1st partition for OS-x is extended (journaled), 2nd partiction (ntfs) has solid version of Windows 7 RC, build 7100 running.
    Thanks.

    Hi Michael,
    here are some nice 'Myths and Facts' about Intel Macs and BootCamp http://refit.sourceforge.net/myths/
    Bottom line: while not exactly needed for installing Windows on an Intel-based Mac, the BootCamp Assistant 'streamlines' the process with a nice GUI (no need for 'cryptic' Terminal commands).
    Mac OSX as of now (10.5 Leopard and above) plus the uptodate firmware for Intel-Macs already include everything needed to install and boot Windows.
    Deleting or reformating an OSX partition does not affect the Windows partition.
    However a repartitioning of course does, if the Windows partition is on the same harddisk.
    But even a repartitioning of any other harddisk (ones that not have the Windows partition on them) does not affect the Windows partition.
    Did that myself when adding/upgrading the harddisks in my Mac Pro.
    Nonetheless, when 'fumbling' with harddisks and partition structure I always have backups of my important files at hand.
    Take care
    Stefan

  • I have a mac pro wich will not open windows in boot camp i get to the two options select windows but iyt will not load can you help please

    i have a mack pro which will not open in windows from boot camp get to the two options and select windows drive but it will not open can you help Please

    Hi there, Well, i thing i might have had the same problem (if you dont mean the selecting part, then try keyboad with usb and without if u dont have a macbook pro or so), i did the same and after selecting windows it said "No bootable disk" or " no boot disk" or something like that and the installer wont start when i was trying to install via CD/DVD.
    The sulution is to use 2 usb-drives, one for the support drivers from apple and one for the windows it self after burning the CD/DVD to the usb on a PC using the windows own tools and creating a ISO file.
    (there might be problems whit CD/DVD install sometimes)
    The ISO file on a own USB is the most importat thing!! (and even apple and windows didnt know that but me and a technikal support guy from the store i bought it managed to fix it after like 4 days )
    Hope it work now mate!

  • Boot Camp Question .... I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp. If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"

    I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
    If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as well

    If you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space.  Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

  • Windows 7/Boot Camp/SSD SATA3 install problems

    Hi there,
    I just registered to this community having bought a MacBook Pro 17" on Friday. The aim was to immediately upgrade the stock 5400 rpm drive with 120 GB SSD SATA 3 drive.  I installed a brand-new Corsair Force Series 3 120gb SSD but that drive was not even recognized by the Install DVD disk utilities. So I gave up on that one. I then tried an OCZ Vertex 3 and that was recognised immediately. I managed to install Snow Leopard no problems. The problem came when I tried to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp. It's important that I can have access to Windows 7 more than OS X at the moment as I am mainly a Windows user. 12 hours later I still hadn't managed to install Windows 7 after numerous attempts. The various problems included Windows 7 unable to format the drive. Also when I did manage to install Windows 7 it never quite completed the install or would freeze on the starting Windows screen. I managed to get into the Windows 7 installation a couple of times but then the whole shebang would freeze when I tried to install the Boot Camp drivers. Upon rebooting I would not be able to boot back into the Windows partition again. I was rapidly losing the will to live. So I gave up on the OCZ SSD drive as well.
    This morning as a last resort I installed an older Corsair Force Series 2 SSD 60 GB drive as an experiment. It was recognized immediately by the disk utilities unlike the Series 3 version and I managed to install Snow Leopard and Windows 7 via Boot Camp with zero problems. So it all up and running. Obviously the hard drive is much smaller than I wanted. But it proves one thing and that is that support of popular brands of SSD SATA 3 drives in the MacBook Pro 17" version is flaky to say the least and on the tests I did using two of these drives it was impossible to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp.
    If anyone else has experienced similar problems I'll be interested to hear.
    Regards
    Kraznet

    Oh yes, there are two flaky things to contend with here: the Corsair Force 3 120GB has had recall. I also have found the older 120GB didn't work properly on some motherboards and with older BIOS and Intel drivers.
    Questions:
    This is hopefully not an electronic EDU/MSDN ISO of Windows that you burned wtih Apple Disk Utility?
    primary Windows - forget Boot Camp Assistant - just boot from OS X DVD and change the SSD to Windows MBR partition table and FAT and then format in Windows. Me, I would have bought Windows 7 SP1 64-bit System Builder.
    From a hardware review reposted to Amazon:
    The Corsair Force Series 3 SSDs were announced just a few weeks ago - boasting SandForce SF-2281 controllers and a very aggressive price point. Just days after the first units started shipping, Corsair has issued a recall of the 120GB Force Series 3 SSDs. According to Corsair, the 120GB model is seeing, "a significant percentage of these drive do not operate to specification." What the failure is exactly isn't clear, Corsair is quick to deflect blame from their partners, simply stating that both hardware and firmware need to be fixed.
    Buyers of the Force Series 3 SSD in the 120GB capacity can return the drive to Corsair for exchange - retailers are also accepting returns. The 60GB and 240GB models are not affected. For more information on how to exchange a defective drive, visit this thread [...] in the Corsair support forums.
    I'm surprised anyone is selling the Force 3 120GB (though it is on Newegg it is not on Amazon since it was pulled)
    Apple has had a slew of problems with the new SATA 6G and 2011s.

    the internal SATA port on the 2011 MacBook Pro is 6 gigabit. One reader installed a Crucial C300 and got 362MB/s average read speed for large sequential transfers. We're looking forward to testing the Intel 6Gb/s 510 SSD and OCZ 6Gb/s Vertex 3 which should be even faster.

  • Windows without Boot Camp or virtualizers on external HD?

    If I install Windows on an external HD, can I boot up in Windows by simply choosing the external HD (or its Windows system) as the starup disk (not talking about dual booting) without Boot Camp or other software?
    I'm aware of and considering virtualizing software like Parallels as well; just considering options for infrequent Windows use.
    I have a feeling it's not that simple but thought I'd ask.

    Robbie:
    You do some of the most interesting things LOL.
    Your 2 icons in the system tray are probably linked to each of the boot camp folders on Drive C as you noted.
    Try the following:
    1. Rename each boot camp folder ONE AT A TIME and do not delete yet.
    2. Reboot after renaming one of the them (boot camp old or something).
    3. See how it affects Windows
    4. Rename the other one as old and previous one to what it was
    5. See how that works on windows
    6. After the above steps you should know which Boot Camp folder affects the operation of Windows and should be able to decide which one to delete.
    Also, you could easily disable one of the instances of loading by disabling one of the them in the startup section of windows. How do you get there?
    1. Go to START and choose RUN
    2. Type MSCONFIG and hit ENTER
    3. From the window that opens up choose the STARTUP tab
    4. You will see a list of items with check marks besides them which are being loaded at startup.
    5. You will see several boot camp related instances.
    6. Uncheck items that you don't want to load at startup
    7. Reboot and see how it affects windows.
    Robbie, a lot of trial and error to determine which are the right files but worth the time.

  • Windows XP & Boot Camp

    I was able to install Windows XP on my MacBook with Bootcamp. The problem I am having now is the display size of the Windows XP on the screen. Everything seems to be bigger than normal and somewhat blurry. I was able to adjust the Text size. But other functional buttons and the User Interface items just look out of size. The Internet Explorer displays everything too big and the contents don't fit in the window. So the content needs to be scrolled back and forth to see all because they are too big for the window.
    Can you please help me with this? I was thinking about finding and installing Windows 7 in hope that it may be better as far size and resolution than Windows XP.
    Another problem I am having is that during my installation I copied the applications on my Mac to another disk thinking that it was the same as backing up. But when I copied back them to my applications folder of a newly installed Mac OS X, they stopped working. It lost the Installs of the programs. I wonder if there is any way to bring these applications back.

    Thank you again, I followed your instructions and Installed the Boot Camp from Mac Install disk to the Windows system. What I did was just start the Windows and insert the Macintosh Install disk. There were 3 different buttons, and one of them was Boot Camp. I just hit that one and the rest of it just went automatically. Then I was able to change the display resolution. However, there were only few different resolutions, and the 1860x800px (if I remember correctly) was the only resolution that was compatible with my macbook display. When I set the resolution on it, the graphic icons seem a little too small. I was wondering if there is any other things that I missed.
    I also couldn't figure out the internet connection on the Windows. The last time I was able to connect to internet. Now I cannot. I use LAN connection provided from the apartments, and it doesn't require any passwords.

  • HT5446 If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    Additional information from Linc's post. Basically, only one additional partition can be added to a Fusion Drive and it resides on the HDD.
    Do computers that come with a Fusion Drive support Boot Camp?
    Yes. Use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Boot Camp. The Windows partition will exist on the hard disk drive, not the Flash drive, and is not part of Fusion Drive Logical Volume Group. 3TB Fusion Drive configurations need to update to OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 or later to install Windows 8. See iMac (27-inch, Late 2012): Boot Camp alert with 3T hard drive for more information.
