Preserve aspect ratio for Windows Vista 64-bit OS on iMac

Hello, I wanted to know how to preserve aspect ratio on my screen resolution of 4:3 with black borders on left and right of the screen, after I have installed 64 bit Boot Camp drivers on it. I rather to play older Windows games in 4:3 without stretched mode as stretched mode looks so disordered, which is bothered me a lot.

It sounds that the Microsoft Installer does not like the optical drive inside of your Mac.
Do you have access to an external DVD drive?
If yes, try the Windows 7 install with an external DVD drive.
If no, try to install Windows 7 from a USB drive.

If you don't have an external DVD drive or a USB drive that is 8GB or larger, you might want to consider borrowing or buying one.

  • Drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit on Satellite L300-1AM

    When I can get drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit? Or I need to intall 32-bit drivers on my 64-bit Vista operating system?
    Please links ;)

    [Toshiba - Download Drivers|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]
    In the Drivers Search Page (the link above) select these filters:
    _Product type:_ +Notebook+
    _Family:_ +Satellite+
    _Product Series:_ +Satellite A Series+ (don't try the L series if you want to find anything useful)
    _Operating System:_ +Windows Vista 64 Bit+
    _Country:_ +World Wide+ (you have to select this in order to get rid of those multiple country options available for the modem)
    _Language:_ +English+ (obviously)
    Don't modify any other filter. The results will be about 100 (maybe more, but the site is set to show up to 100 results).
    Advices:
    1. Download the latest versions only (there's no point in downloading multiple versions of the same driver, yet they will be shown in the search results area)
    2. Download what's specific to your laptop only (network - RealTek, both wired and wireless; chipset and graphics - Intel; modem - Toshiba; webcam - Chicony; there's no point in downloading anything from otehr vendors - except maybe the touchpad, but Windows can handle it properly without aditional drivers)
    3. Don't download any BIOS or Firmware file; they might not be for your notebook, and installing the wrong ones is a sure path to screwing up your notebook (and losing the warranty); if you need them upgraded, go to the download page for your specific model, Windows XP or Windows Vista 32 Bit drivers (since they are OS independent anyway)
    Toshiba utilities (DVD Player, ConfigFree, etc.) should be OK too (again, download the latest version only).
    BTW, I own 2 Toshiba notebooks (L300-1AM and L300-1AN; quite similar, the differences are in HDD and CPU only) and I had the same problem: no 64-bit drivers (and the same "support"). Quite strange the idea that Toshiba is testing these 64-bit drivers before releasing them (according to a previous post), since the same drivers, for the very same chipsets - but installed on other models - are available. Windows Vista 64-bit is out on the market for nearly 2 years now, the production of these models has already been stopped (and I assume they have not been produced during one night only :) ), yet they had no time to test the drivers... High-class support from Toshiba!

  • Satellite A210-16G Mass Storage Controller driver for Windows Vista 32-bit

    Hello, I need Toshiba Satellite A210-16G Mass Storage Controller driver for Windows Vista 32-bit. If you have setup file, please redirect me, if you have any other file, please explain me where to install it.

    If I were you I would take look to the Drivers Download site of the Toshiba mainpage, because there you can find everything you need.
    The mass storage controller can either be the HDD controller or the SD-card controller. I would download both of them.

  • Getting error code 0x400110020000100b while doing system recovery for windows vista 32 bit.

    I attempted to do a system recovery on my Laptop using the included recovery discs and got this error 0x400110020000100B. THe disc looked pretty beat so last week I ordered a new set.

  • ITunes for Windows Vista 64 bit

    Is there any way to get iTunes to work on Windows Vista 64 bit? If not is Apple developing a version that will work in Windows Vista 64 bit?
    Thanks,

    For a chance I tried in this way and (strange but true) it works:
    I installed Quick Time alone (the 7.3 release), then iTunes, and this time no problem at all at the start up of both the programs.

  • Problem installing Service pack 1 for Windows Vista 32-bit from windows update

    I have been trying to install Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista Home (32 bits) through Windows Update many times. The Update panel shows Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330) is available. I install the update, which by the way, just takes me few minutes curiouslly. The "update succesfully installed" message with the green circle checked on appears. But then, when I check my computer properties, the Service Pack 1 is not there and Windows Updated keeps showing again and again the update for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330) is available and that needs to be installed. I don't know what else to do, can you help me please.

    Hi:
    Try downloading and installing the standalone SP1 file.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30
    If you get it to install that way, go straight to SP2 with the standalone download.

  • HP solution center for window vista 32 bit and HP 6210

    need to download Solution Center for HP office jet 6210 and Windows vista 32 bit. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi mary1929,
    HP Solution Center is the main software program that you use to control and maintain HP printers that use version 13 and 14 software. Your printer uses a version of software that came before version 13 and 14. I believe you have something called HP Director. HP introduced HP Solution Center to replace HP Director in 2004.
    I did find a document that says you may be able to install software for Vista that includes Solution Center. Please take a look at the information in this document; HP Director and Windows Vista Compatibility. If you recently upgraded to Windows Vista, you will not be able to use HP Director. However, you might be able to upgrade to HP Solution Center in its place.
    This might be the software you need; File name: AIO_CDB_Full_Non-Network_enu_NB.exe
    I hope this helps. If this does resolve the issue please let me know, if you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask.

  • ITunes Update for Windows Vista 64 bit

    Does anybody know when this is going to be released. I got an iPhone and can't sync it with the latest version of Windows Vista. The friendly staff at AT&T forgot to tell me that I would not be able to use my iPhone until iTunes came out with an update for Windows Vista.
    Thank You.

  • Quicktime support for Windows Vista  64 bit OS

    Are there plans to support the Windows Vista 64 bit operationg system?

    Yes, I also got the instruction from the installer to "use the 64-bit installer", but there doesn't seem to be one. APPLE - ARE YOU LISTENING HERE? Strange that your installer gives seemingly impossible instruction.

  • Drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit

    Hi all -
    I want to install Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my iMac intel 2.4GHz with 2GB of RAM. I read around that I will have to manually install the drivers for apple specific hardware. Does that include the apple keyboard (aluminum) and the mighty mouse? If so, where do I get the drivers from?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Steafan!
    I followed the instructions on the site you gave me and its successfully installed the ATI driver. However, using system profiler on my mac, it says my card is ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, but Vista now lists it as ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT. Is there any problems? On the other hand, the keyboard is giving me enough functionality, but some things still don't work, namely the number pad and eject key.
    I also read on the net somewhere that the fans will not work? How can I verify that my fans are working?
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Getting Driver for windows vista 64 bit

    Dear All,
    I have a toshiba satallite l505 laptop, I just bought a modem called hsdpa 3.5 G USB modem.
    The modem works well on every other windows { (XP and Vista) 32bit} But it does not work on my laptop pc 64bit.
    The reason is that the driver is not 32 bit compatable. I have even tried to copy the installed driver from Vista 32 bit. to the 64 bit. Still it still the not work . I keep getting an error that the driver found is not meant for the platform I trying to use it on. Can anymore help or guide me on how I can get this driver to install and work on my 64 latop please.
    NOte: I have to search the maker website , but still not I am not able to even find the maker. but In the driver file I found that it was qualcomm that showed, I went to qualcimm . Alas I found nothing useful.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    found this:
    You can install the XP Apple drivers onto Vista if you have the XP

    Use the have disk option in the Add Printer Wizard.
