Nview Desktop Manager NVkeystone Boot Camp

So I have installed Boot Camp, and Windows XP service pack 2. I installed the drivers that boot camp give and windows is running great. The problem I am having is enabling the NVKeystone feature inside the Nview Desktop manager - tool's tab. Its greyed out so I can't even enable it. I meet all the requirements for it and have a PC that uses it so I know how it works and everything. I just can't get it to enable. I have even tried the Nvidia drivers with the modded INFs from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
And those work well as drivers, but I get the same problem where the NVkeystone is greyed out.
So I have talked with Nvidia and they are telling me to talk with the Laptop provider which is Apple, and here is what I am hoping for.
A solution. Maybe someone has experience this and solved it themselves, or maybe apple has new drivers for the video card on WinXp, or maybe Apple is working on get the Keystone feature working. Please any info is helpful.
I have searched the web and found not much.

Turns out Nvidia stopped making the NV keystone driver for the 8 series. They did make the driver for the 7 series just stopped at the 8. Anyway maybe Apple will come up with some sweet software that lets me correct trapezoidal keystoning. As for until then, I am going to be trying to make my 8 series card think it is a 7 series in a hope to getting the keystone driver working.

8900 Not Connecting to Desktop Manager in Boot Camp

Hi all
I have a problem in Boot Camp (XP Pro) on my new MacBook Pro. My 8900 shows up perfectly in device manager and I can also browse the media card. When I run Desktop Manager 4.7, it cannot pick up the BlackBerry and it shows as Disconnected. I have tried re-installing Desktop Manager and even tried the latest unreleased version 5.0. Browsing other forums have suggested I take the battery out for a minute and try again and this didn't work either.
I have tried going back to DM 4.7, re-installed Bootcamp 2.1 drivers and installed VMWare Fusion. Nothing gets it connected, yet every time the 8900 shows up perfectly in Device Manager.
I installed on my partners HP laptop and it connected immediately in DM. I really need this to work on my Mac (boot camp preferably) and i simply cannot understand why its not working.
Please help me! What am I doing wrong? I've been trying for hours and so frustrated!
Thanks in advance...

Why was nVidia nView Desktop Manager Removed?

I recently used Windows Update to upgrade the video driver for my nVidia Quadro FX 880M graphics card for my Thinkpad W510 (Windows 7, 64-bit) . The new version is 9.18.13.1100, which is the same version listed as current at the Lenovo web site. However, the release history for the video driver includes this:
<8.17.12.5738 / 1.0.15.0>
- [Important]
Removed nView Desktop Manager application from this package. Refer to
the Notes section for more information.
The notes say:
- nView Desktop Manager application was removed from this package. In order to
remove the application from your computer, it has to be manually uninstalled.
It is recommended to remove the application before updating to this driver.
I have nView Desktop Manager version 136.53 installed on my machine. It seems to be working fine, but I'm concerned that there may be issues I don't know about. Does anybody have any insight into why nView DM was removed from the video driver distribution some versions back? Should I remove nView DM, or should I keep it installed and hope for the best? It has some features I find useful on my multiple-monitor display setup.
Thanks.

NView DM also interferes (somewhat) with my Habu mouse.

NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager

I have been trying and failing to run LR1.0 for the last week, playing with everything I could find in this forum. Total failure - LR froze within minutes every time I tried to run it. Reloaded LR - changed the library - etc etc.
Finally spotted a comment in LR Extra FAQ - Compatibility Issues. "Unconfirmed at present - NVidia's NView Desktop Manager may cause problems with Lightroom"
So I disabled NView Desktop Manager and voila! - LR now runs - perfectly as far as I can tell so far - but I haven't done any real work yet.
OK OK maybe I should have spotted that tip in LR Extra earlier (don't know how long its been there). But if you're having problems with LR and have NView Desktop Manager running, try disabling it.
Windows XP, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, 2GB (now without NView Desktop Manager!)
Hope this helps someone, Nigel

Incompatible with NVidia NView Desktop Manager

Lightroom doesn't work with that software. The manager came preinstalled on my HP desktop. I had trouble getting lightroom to work properly, it would lock up when I tried to use the Develop module.
After much hair tearing I noticed a cryptic message from the NVidia software (while I was uninstalling Lightroom yet again!) I turned off the Desktop Manager feature of my NVidia software and voila! everything works perfectly now!
This was a very frustrating problem. Perhaps it could be added in the FAQs or something.

I use dual monitors.
The features that the desktop manager provides me are;
1) Ability to put different wall papers on each monitor.
2) Ability to "throw" applications from one monitor to the other with one mouse click. This is a very, very important feature.
As an example, when I open explorer, it will generally pop up on one window. Open another window: Pops up in the same place. As opposed to hitting "restore", then dragging across, then maximizing, Nview allows me to hit one button and BAM, the app that was maximized on one monitor is now maximized on the other.
Somewhere is a button that allows me to swap "primary" monitors. . This is important for games that run in "one monitor maximized" configuration. Some games like my widescreen; Some like my standard CRT. :) I have not done this since V1.0 lightroom came out. -> can't remember if that was a desktop manager function or part of the base driver options.

Yosemite Boot Camp Drivers

Hi,
Thanks in advance for any help I receive. After upgrading to Yosemite, like many, windows 8 was having a problem loading. As soon as the 8 desktop would appear, the screen would go blue and Windows would shut down. I erased the partition and started over. Here is the procedure I used:
1) Launch Boot Camp assistant
2) Download latest drivers to flash drive
3) Boot Camp assistant partitions the drive ( 400 GB Windows partition)
4) Boot Camp restarts and installs Windows (8.0)
5) Windows asks me to select a drive to install windows.
6) I select the BootCamp drive, but I have to use the format tool on the installation page to format it to NFTS (otherwise I cannot install windows.
7) Windows ask for key-key accepted
8) Installation runs fine-Windows asks for all the setup information
9) Desktop appears
10) Boot Camp support drivers program runs automatically and installs drivers-computer restarts fine.
11) Problem-once the desktop appears, as soon as I start to do anything, the blue screen appears that says windows had a problem-
12) no amount of windows self repair works short of taking it back to a point before installing Boot Camp support drivers
Either I am doing something wrong or the problem is the Boot Camp drivers need to be upgraded by Apple.
The error I see on the screen says something about "security check on Ktext" or something close to that.
Any ideas?
All the best,
Ciro

Hi Loner T,
Thanks for the reply. Firs the links Kappy provided are the procedure I followed. To answer your questions, BCA downloaded the the drivers. I assumed that it downloaded the 5.1.5621, which seems to be the correct drivers for my machine, a Mac Pro mid 2010. The 5.1.5640 drivers are for 2013 macs. I tried downloading the 5.1.5621 software manually and running it once Windows loaded, but I got the same problem.
The error message that appears in step 11 is "kernal_security_check_failure" This seems like it might be related to Yosemite. Doesn't Yosemite now have some security feature related to ktext files? I am getting this from Trim enabler.
Thanks
Ciro

Successful Windows 8 Boot Camp setup, keyboard not responding...

I successfuly managed to boot camp windows 8 pro (via the windows 7 upgrade route).. I rebooted the system at least a few times without experiencing any issues with the Keyboard.. yet now I can't do anything... I had windows setup eactly how I needed it after a few hours.. I have seen responses to try boot camping again in the hope by luck it will fix itself... But the problem I have is in order to activate Windows I had to spend over an hour on the phone with MS which I really don't want to have to go through again... It took about 3 - 4 hours to get it to where I had it and it would be an absolute pain in the a ss to have to go through it again.....

Good day, I have installed Windows 8 successfully on my Macbook, [OS X Mountain Lion] using Boot Camp assistant. When I got to the step to install the Boot Camp Support software with the CD I created during installation through bootcamp, a pop up message appeared: "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model." I am stuck in Windows at the moment, there is no way to restart in Mac OS X now, I have tried the hold down the option key while restarting too, it doesn't work.
1. how can I get to restart in Mac again?
Reboot, hold the X key when you hear the chime, hold it until the computer starts to boot in OSX
2. where can I download the correct Boot Camp support software for this computer for Windows 8? [macbook pro with retina display; OS X Mountain Lion]
Windows 8 is not yet supported, there are no drivers, wait for them or use Windows 7.

Mac Notebook - Install Windows 7 with Boot Camp

The DVD drive is broken so I am not able to install Windows 7 using boot camp. I created a few bootable Windows 7 USB drives and while the Mac is reading the drive, when I attempt have boot camp use this flash drive to install Windows 7, it keeps giving me an error that the Windows 7 CD is not in the DVD drive. It's looking for the Windows 7 installation CD in the DVD drive.
How do I get around this? I think I created the bootable USB drvie with Windows 7 correctly but it's still not working. Are there other workarounds I can do such as download the ISO file to the Mac's desktop and use boot camp to install Windows?
Thanks.

You didn't mention which OS X version you have. Not every Mac or every version of OS X or every version of Boot Camp supports installing every version of Windows from an ISO image.
Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
Depending upon the age and parts availability of your Mac, it might be less expensive to have it repaired, or to purchase an external DVD drive. No guarantee that Boot Camp will 'see' the external DVD, with the internal DVD still connected, however.
If Boot Camp on your Mac does not support an ISO image, and your Mac DOES support the minimum requirements to run a recent version of Parallels (7 or newer), Parallels is capable of installing a Windows virtual machine from a Windows ISO image. Windows performance under Boot Camp is likely much better than Windows running as a virtual machine under Parallels and OS X. The most recent version of Parallels is always available for a short-duration free trial: http://www.parallels.com You still need a valid Windows license to complete even a trial installation. Older versions of Parallels (prior to version 9) will not run under OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Parallels needs to be set to look for the correct ISO image location, rather than a DVD.

Boot Camp Unknown devices

In XP's device manager in Boot Camp I get (5) unknown devices after installing the Mac drivers. (1) USB Human Interface Device, (1) PCI Device, (2) Unknown Devices, and (1) USB Device. What are they? Everything appears to be working here. See linked screenshot.

Well, your guess is as good as mine but I'd say we won't get 100% support until Leopard because it's being built into it.

HT3986 Hi, i have a macbook pro version 10.6.8 with boot camp version 3.0.4. I managed to install windows 7 professional x64, however when i insert my OS CD to install the drivers using the boot camp method, it says unsupported to this computer model

I managed to install windows 7 professional x64 bits but however when i tried to install the drivers using the OSX MAC CD using boot camp, it prompt me boot camp x 64 is unsupported with this computer model. Then i tried the method by right click the bootcamp x64 and managed to install the drivers. However, i still couldnt manage access the internet and it prompts me no networking hardware detected...Any idea how can i solve it?
P.S i tried updating my bootcamp version 3.0.4 in mac os with bootcamp x64 version 3.1 exe but it shows me weird wording..
my bootcamp version in windows 7 is 2.1..

Uninstall 2.x totally
Use CCleaner Registry tool
Do whatever you need to to nuke the existing Apple programs and folders hidden here and there also.

This is boot camp problem, because in other normal notebooks (e.g. SONY VAIO, Lenovo with Windows 7) the gadgets are working normally.
I am attaching the screen shot of Desktop Gadgets and Security updates of Windows 7.
Kindly solve this issue ASAP.

You are not addressing Apple, but a community of unpaid volunteers. So ASAP won't cut it. Also, you should refrain from posting personal information (like your email address) in the body of your comments, as this is part of the community usage guidelines.
Have you reinstalled the latest Boot Camp Windows 7 drivers, just in case Microsoft overwrote some of them during the Windows 7 security update?
If you want to communicate issues with Apple about Boot Camp and OS X, click on the link. Just don't hold your breath on receiving a response.

Should I Use Boot Camp or Parallels for use of a Windows Desktop?

I am migrating from a PC to a Mac; I want to take advantage of having a Windows desktop to run some apps until i buy Mac equivalent software;
I have Tiger, but am installing Leopard this weekend;
Should I Use Boot Camp or Parallels for use of a Windows Desktop?
I am tempted by not having to reboot, but i don't want my mac to slow down?
I am a photographer and use Photoshop and other graphics intensive programs.

Hi,
to achieve full computing power while in Windows you have to use BootCamp and for Photoshop and other apps of that caliber in Windows its the best.
For apps less demanding using Parallels (VMWare Fusion) is sufficient enough and the slight downgrade in speed is negligible.
You should however (if not already done) max out the RAM of your Mac.

The boot camp manager keeps quitting after re-start with an error message, why? I've installed the latest updates for XP 32bit
