Resolution bootcamp windows 7

Hello guys,
i have an issues with my screen resolution in the windows 7 os.
I'm running it on the bootcamp assistant, all the services and the softwares are works as expteced but the resolution and the size of the windows are very small and not very readable..
here is a photo for example:
Any solutions for that?

I'm assuming you have a retina mac? Base on my understanding, what happoens here is that when you are using OS X, the OS just interprets the monitor's pixel as 4:1, what I mean is when you have a non retina display the pixels are shown as 1 is to 1 which mean 1 pixel is equal to one pixel, but in retina mac you have 4 times the pixel which mean inside one pixel of the non-retina, there is 4 pixels which makes it retina... So the OS takes that 4 pixels and make it like one, I guess, thats why in OS X although you have a high resolution display everything looks the same base on size... But in Windows 1 pixel is equal to 1 pixel, no interpretation... Imagine you have a 27 inch monitor with a resolution of 2880x1800... Shrink that monitor to 15 inch with the same resolution and you get a very small icons and texts... Like what you have in there...
I dont really know much about displays but thats what I understand... Please understand if I'm wrong...

Help updating ATI graphics driver in bootcamp Windows 8.1 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch) with 4 GHz Intel core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and AMD Radeon R9 M295x 4096MB

Help updating ATI graphics driver in bootcamp Windows 8.1 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch) with 4 GHz Intel core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and AMD Radeon R9 M295x 4096MB

Of note there is a new AMD Catalyst Omega driver released earlier in the week that brings 5K resolution to AMD graphics cards. Here is the link (support.ad.com/en-us/download) to the AMD site. But none of these work with my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), Windows 8 bootcamp.
Please advise.

Screen resolution in Windows XP

Hi all,
I have a iMac 24", with a screen resolution of 1920x1200. I installed Windows XP with Bootcamp. The problem I have now is in Windows, the highest possible choice for screen resolution is 1600x1200 which doesn't look good at all.
How do I change that into 1920x1200?
I am a complete newbie when it comes to windows so help is appreciated. (I only installed it to run SolidWorks during work).
Thanks,
Veronica

Hi Veronica,
just to rule ou the obvious:
Have you installed the BootCamp Windows Drivers from the OSX DVD yet ?
If not, while in Windows pop in the OSX DVD and the Driver Installation should start automatically.

13" Cannot set screen resolution in Windows 7 to 1440 by 900

Just finished installing BootCamp with Windows 7 Pro. For some reason the screen resolution in Windows display driver only goes up to 1200 not 1440 x 900. On MacOS it is obviously working fine. Any ideas?

On my MacBook Air 11 with Windows 7 64 bit I experience an even worse situation: when ever trying to install a NVidia driver (also when following the mentioned instructions) the setup executable reports - after a check of system compatibility - that no compatible graphic hardware (=320m) could be found. Luckily at least MacOS X is aware of a NVidia 320m installed.
Any Idea? Thanks

Running CS2 on Bootcamp (Windows) on my Mac

I'm trying to install my CS2 on bootcamp (Windows XP) and getting the following error message: "CS2 needs your monitor to support resolution of at least 1024 x 768 with 16-bit color to run properly." We have a brand new Mac with a great monitor, and I run CS3 just fine on the Mac. I need CS2 on my Windows applications so I can use it with AutoCAD (which only runs on Windows.) Any advice?
Thanks!

That fixed it! The monitor setting was on the lowest. Thank you so much. I didn't understand why my Bootcamp screen was looking so terrible. Now it looks great!

Screen/Projector Resolution in Windows

We've just setup around 50 or so new iMacs that we're running Windows Vista on via Boot Camp. We're having some trouble connecting projectors to them that we haven't had with previous models.
We can get the projector to mirror the image with no problems, but for some reason we seem to be limited to a resolution of 800x600 when we do this. The projector and, of course, the iMac display are capable of much higher resolutions. If we disconnect the projector, we can set the display resolution to whatever we want. If we boot to Mac OS, we have no problem scaling up to higher resolutions on both the built-in display and the projector--so it would seem the hardware (nVidia geforce 9400, as I recall) is definitely capable.
Is there some little setting somewhere that I'm missing?

Help! bootcamped window pro 7 ok BUT driver / setup flash drive seemed to correctly install drivers, nvidia etc etc BUT on windows login screen i have no mouse or keyboard , have plugged in logitech usb mouse and keyboard still no good please help

Please can somebody help me with this.
i cannot get any mouse or keyboard input on my login screen after bootcamping windows 7 pro.

all is fine in osx apple wireless mouse keyboard magicpad ok
windows cant login due to no input devices.
have connected logitech mouse keyboard still nothing.
please help!
thanks in advance

1. I have tried copying the Keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse drivers to the $WinPEDriver$ directory with mixed success on a 2012 MBP.
2. My experience is based on a 2013 rMBP. You may be able to use an Apple USB Keypad/Mouse to better success.
3. See http://www.macworld.com/article/2460820/macbook-pro-mid-2014-review-minor-update -offers-slightly-better-cpu-performance.html for HW differences between the two machines.
4. If you have access to a 2013 rMBP, I can suggest trying to build the USB on that and working with the USB to see if you can make it install Windows. the rMBP 2014 and rMBP 2013 have the same HW, except some CPU changes. You can also try building the USB at the nearest Apple store, if possible.
5. There is a section in AutoUnattend.xml, which is supposed to install all drivers in $WinPEDriver$ (see this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2686316 )

Mcbook Pro (2009) freezing all the time. Bootcamp windows works perfectly...

Hi,
I'm very confused.
I've had my macbook pro for 2 years now, with bootcamp Windows installed for almost that long without a problem.
As of today my macbook keeps locking up everytime I click on an application or click my mouse on something. It freezes with any action and stays busy for about a minute before doing all my commands.
The problem is, my Windows 7 works perfectly fine! Which means, unlike the other people posting here about their freezing macs, it's NOT a hardware issue!
I installed Lion about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure what's going on. I don't really know what to do. I'll do some cleanups and everything, and post a little later.

Do you have FileVault enabled or a Mac with a "Fusion" drive?
It appears to be trying to boot into Safe Mode, but fails. I've seen Safe mode fail for the above reasons.
Can you boot into Recovery? OS X: About OS X Recovery
if so, try repairing the disk. http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/08/repair-boot-disk-mac-os-x-disk-utilit/

Bootcamp windows 7 listen to line in soundcard driver not installing

Hi there and thanks for reading.
Bottom line Bootcamped Windows 7
I just want to be able to HEAR my line in input in REALTIME not a 1-2sec delay like the "listen to device" thing in windows has by default.
I've tried to install realtek drivers however I get an error message.
I've attempted to install other drivers and those fail as well.
It's upsetting because litereally everything else works (minus the aircard for some reason but I dont mind using a cable) and the internal speakers.
If anyone has had the same problem and found a fix. please please do share.

I got to the same point as viggo. bootmgr was missing after restoring the partition with winclone.
i fixed the bootrecord of the cloned partition like this:
1) create a windows system repair disk. you can do this in your virtual machine. since you cannot boot from cd. you need to create the repair disk directly into an iso file. windows only lets you choose an existing cdrw drives, so you need to simulate a cd burner. use TotalMounter for this. its free and does exactly what you need.
the following steps have been done with parallels. don't know if this works with vm fusion
2) Create a new parallels vm and use the cloned, broken bootcamp partition as its main drive (if you start it right now, you get the same "bootmgr is missing" message)
3) mount the previously created system repair disc as a cd rom
4) boot from the cd room
5) run systemrepair to fix the bootrecord
6) windows is now booting in parallels and it hopefully does so directly from disk :-)

ISight on Bootcamp Windows 7 no longer working

After upgrading to Lion OS X, my iSight no longer works on Bootcamp Windows 7. It formerly worked under Snow Leopard's Bootcamp Win 7.

i would believe it might be the limiting of the number of programs during startup.
do a msconfig and configure it to startup only windows item only. See if this makes any diference

ExpressCard/34 not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Apple's BIOS emulation does not give enough resources.

MacBook Pro unibody, 15" 2009
ExpressCard/34 (Card is by Transcend TS-RDF1, JMicron chip for SD card) is not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Windows reports:
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
Other data points: Card works fine in Mac OSX, worked under Windows XP 32-bit (initially reported same problem, but works after reboot).
Checking the forums there seems to be no actual device suggested to actually remove that would help the problem. And even if it was, the concept is ridiculous. What other device would you like to remove? Display adapter? Network adapter? No way. I use all available devices and don't want to compromise.
It seems like BIOS emulation does not allocate enough resources to ExpressCard.
Are others having the same problem?
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Is there anyone at Apple who cares to provide a solution?

It is not a driver problem, but a problem in the BIOS emulated by bootcamp on some (not all) MBP models. So unless Apple fixes it in bootcamp, there is no real solution. And obviously, Apple doesn't care. They are dropping the Expresscard slot anyway.
Unfortunately, this poster seems right: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=912259 :
The 2008/2009 Macbook Pros don't allow to use the ExpressCard slot because of EFI/Bootcamp errors (Windows Vista/7 cannot allocate an IRQ to the slot). You don't need any drivers for using an ExpressCard slot on Windows, you only need the drivers for the corresponding card you are using.
Bootcamped XP allowed to use the slot, but you could not use hot-plugging.
And from the Sonnet site ( http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html ) :
Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista when running on unibody MacBook Pro computers. The problem is caused by the MacBook Pro's BIOS emulation, which doesn't allocate enough resources to support certain kinds of Expresscard/34 devices, such as a SATA controller, in these operating systems.

I have Windows XP Pro as my Bootcamp option under Snow Leopard. If I upgrade to Lion will I still be able to use this Bootcamp Windows XP operating system as I dont have Windows 7 yet

I have Windows XP Pro as my Bootcamp option under Snow Leopard which works very well indeed.
I would like to upgrade to Lion but am concerned re its lack of support for Bootcamp Windows XP
Can I upgrade to Lion and boot into my old Windows XP BootCamp partition as I do at present OR
must I buy Windows v7 and install under the new Bootcamp system.
Also what happens to my Snow Leopard Time Machines backups - can I see them under Lion?
Many thanks

Bootcamp WIndows 7 x64 and Syncmaster 204b external monitor

Hi,
I didn't see a sub-forum for external monitors so I hope the Firmware forum is ok since this seems like a drivers/graphics card issue issue.
The issue I'm having is that Mac OS crashes randomly when I connect my external Samsung Syncmaster 204b monitor to my Macbook Pro when running Windows 7 x64 under Bootcamp. The external monitor turns yellow and the Macbook LCD turns gray and I'm forced to do a hard-reboot. Windows does detect the monitor and I can see it with it's correct name under Windows Display Properties.
Everything works fine when I run the monitor under Mac OS 10.6.4.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 on a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13". I have all of the latest updates installed for Windows and am using Bootcamp 3.1.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any ideas how this may be resolved?
Thanks, -Scott

Ok, I think this problem has been resolved, so I'll post the solution in case others with the Samsung Syncmaster 204B have the same problem. The answer was erasing the PRAM by holding Option-Command-P-R at boot up (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379).
This is what I think happened:
An update in Windows Update is available for the Syncmaster 204B, but wasn't visible when I first connected the Syncmaster. I wasn't able to see the update until I rebooted with the Syncmaster connected (after several crashes). After seeing the update in Windows Update under 'Optional Updates", called "Samsung - Display- 204T/204Ts/204B, Syncmaster Magic CX20Ts(digital)", I installed it, but bootcamp Windows continued to crash randomly after attaching the Syncmaster via both Mini Display Port-to-DVI and Mini Display Port-to-VGA. Sometimes it crashed after a few minutes, sometimes an hour, the same as before I installed the update.
I was convinced that it was a compatibility problem between Windows 7 x64, the Syncmaster 204B and the MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2010 hardware since this problem only happened when booting into bootcamp Windows 7 x64 (everything worked fine in Mac OS), but now that doesn't seem to be the case. I think the update fixed the problem, but after installing the update some of the of the original incompatible display settings remained resident in the Mac's PRAM. Erasing the PRAM cleared these settings and allowed the new updated settings to be loaded instead, fixing the crash issue.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!
