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!

  • Bootcamp - Windows 8.1 - Mac Pro (Late 2013) -- ATI Driver Crash

    Hi All,
    I have a open case with Apple as well on this but i can not seem to locate any information on this issue on the web at all.
    Case: 601052633
    Basically, we received a new Late 2013 Mac Pro, and out of the box proceeded to install bootcamp and windows 8.1.
    After the install and the bootcamp drivers are installed the screen starts to display lines and the ATi drivers eventually crash.
    If we uninstall the ATI drivers the screen is returned to normal and windows uses the generic drivers, however the graphics performance is degraded.
    If we install the latest ATI drivers (downloaded directly from the ATI webpage) the display issues reoccur.
    If left to run its path the screen becomes unreadble and eventually the system bluescreens.
    To recap all the things I have done:
    Straight out of the box we started the boot camp install. We use the latest Windows 8.1 Media.
    Once the process is completed the PC reboots as normal and we install windows on the “BOOTCAMP” partition.
    Windows installs without issue and when the bootcamp drivers window pop’s up it starts its install. At the “Chipset” drivers install the window starts to flicker, this appears to be normal but afterwards the screen shows “lines” on it. (these lines can be seen on image below)
    Once windows is booted the lines remain and progressively gets worse. Image below shows the ATI Criver crash and the blue screen. This takes 2-5 seconds. And depends on how much you move on the screen.
    Screen capture (shown Below) shows the issues, even with screen capture the issue is recorded.
    If we uninstall the ATI display drivers the issue disappears.
    Process of tests:
    Install Bootcamp windows 8.1 on Mac pro 2013 out of the box – Issue recorded
    Remove Bootcamp and update firmware on Mac.
    Install Bootcamp windows 8.1 on Mac Pro 2013 – Same issue.
    Updated ATI Drivers using ATI drivers off ATI website – Same issue
    Uninstalled ATI Drivers – 2 Generic Microsoft video cards detected – issue removed but video performance degraded.
    Updated Bootcamp Drivers – ATI drivers reinstalled – Issue returned
    Removed bootcamp, restored system to factory settings via web install.
    Installed Bootcamp windows 8 on Mac Pro 2013 – Same issues
    Removed bootcamp restored System to default
    Tried installing windows 7 – not supported
    Installed Windows 8.1 and ran screen captures and diagnostics.
    We have also tried using different display ports, Different display adaptors, Different monitors.
    Mac OS is not affected.
    Note Mac is “out of the box”, Windows is a next next next install. No changes or software is installed.
    Any support would be appreciated.
    Cheers

    I had this exact same issue and had been hunting it down since i first received my Mac Pro back in May 2014. I researched the problem all over the place but I have no idea why i did not find this post, or in fact why Apple techs did not find this post either.
    Bottom line: In my case I have pretty much proved this was a problem with the AMD FirePro D300 video card/s. They basically can't cope with Windows graphics needs.
    I have a new Mac with D500 cards, and now the problem is almost completely gone. I can recreate if i run certain situations and a screen saver. Upon refresh, there is a chance the card will crash, but showing a slightly different outcome.
    Having read the prior posts, the D700 may also have the same issue??
    Longer story and background: I am not exactly an expert, but i did try many different things and probably spent in excess of 200 hours onto tech support and installing, reinstalling, trying different monitors, trying different software. Eventually i was so frustrated and in tears with this issue.
    The major problem over all this time was the constant response from Apple that this was not an Apple issue since the Mac OS was not showing any issues.
    I was at the time a new Mac convert, my brother had purchased the 'awesome' machine for me as a birthday gift, with the goal that we could play a specific game together. My disappointment in Apples inability to recognize or even attempt to recognize that this was related to the hardware in the Mac itself was constant and ongoing.
    My final visit to the Apple store to again visit the 'Genius' bar came up yet again with the most senior tech in the store telling me that there were no problems identified with the hardware and that this was not their issue. Totally frustrating. I was rather hoping, in the good tradition of true geeks, that this would have been a challenge to hunt down. I was pretty sure they trusted me that this was not a standard Windows issue, and thus was hoping they would switch out individual pieces of components (video cards being my first choice) to see if that the problem repeated. Nope, didn't want to do it.
    My response was to threaten with legal action - not something i enjoyed doing, plus that i would NEVER buy an Apple product again. Since I was a new business client, this may have had an impact.
    This wonderful Manager at the store agreed that he wanted to take the hardware out of the equation and see if I still had the issue. So he, amazingly, agreed to refund in full for the machine and I could order a new one.
    As i was convinced this was hardware related, since I had the Quad core, D300's, 12 gig machine and my brother had the top of the range six processor, D500s, 16gig memory machine which did NOT have this issue, running identical software, when i reordered the Mac Pro, I bumped it up to the D500s (still Quad core) and 16gig of memory (also had the 1TB drive partitioned 40/60 in bootcamps favor).
    I tentatively installed windows after a couple of days of normal Apple usage (software updates included).
    I then hammered the system with the same software and installs.
    Its been up and running for perhaps 2-3 weeks now, and I have not seen the issue at all, other then when i had screen saver running and 4 instances of the game running (Everquest for those of you who are interested - but the software is almost irrelevant, since i have had this issue using internet explorer or Chrome).
    So..  I urge Apple to review this issue with the D300s and either remove them from the configuration options or resolve the issue. One of the powerful selling things for this wonderful machine is its ability to run Windows in native mode. I like it because I also want to get into App Development, so the dual option boot option is just what i wanted.
    Responding to us poor Windows installers with 'not my problem' simply isn't good enough and should never have been something i had heard.
    All good now, I am happy with the end result, but I would like Apple to recognize this IS AN ISSUE THEY NEED TO ADDRESS.
    I apologize if my technical knowledge is not a strong as it might need to be in relaying this information to you guys, but hopefully it all makes sense.

  • How do I get external speakers to run on my Bootcamp Windows 7 partition?

    I have an intel based iMac and am running Windows 7 on bootcamp. I use the bootcamp partition more than the Mac. I hooked up some external speakers to the iMac and they function fine when running the Mac OS but they don't work when running Windows 7. The control panel in Windows doesn't recognize the speakers. Any ideas how to get the speakers functioning?

    PorterLayne wrote:
    The speakers aren't USB but are plugging directly into theheadphone jack.  This works when running the OSX partition but not the Windows side.  Bootcamp is updated to the latest version.  As for the drivers, I don't have a disc (they came with an older Gateway), but Windows isn't even recognizing that new hardware is connected so I can't search for drivers.
    Speakers that plug into the headphone jack won't have drivers.  (The computer will just see them as "headphones.")  I asked because you did not state whether you had USB speakers or not.  (USB speaker would definitely require drivers for Windows to be installed separately from anything installed in OSX, and so was the most probably issue based on your description.)
    With Windows running, unplug the speakers from the Mac.  If you will probably see a red light coming out of the headphone jack.  This means that the optical audio has been enabled.  There is some troubleshooting steps for OSX, but Apple doesn't have much on the Windows side.  Google has a few hits on people unplugging and plugging in again the plug to the headphone jack to "hit" the mechanical switch inside the jack, that determines if a optical cable is inserted or not.  In the past, an update to Boot Camp 3 drivers was offered.  In the future, when you say "latest version", you'll want to be specific to what version since the "latest version" at this point in time is version 4 and the "fix" you'll see on Google is for Boot Camp version 3.

  • Witch specifikation will i need to run AutoCad via bootcamp (Window version)

    In order to run AutoCad on a Macbook Pro via bootcamp, what kind of specification will i need ???
    I´m thinking about the 17 inch Macbook Pro.
    About processors i have to choises, either the 2,2 with 6 mb L3 and turbo-boost up to 3,4 or
    the 2,3 with 8 mb L3 and turbo-boost up to 3,6
    Next there is Ram, how much will i need ??? Again i have to options, eigther 4 or 8
    I´m going to study next month and i haven´t woorked with AutoCad before, however i wan´t a system running perfektly and completely without any problems what so ever.
    Now it would be pretty ekspensive for me to upgrade, so i´ll only do it, if i really have to, in order to get that perfektly running system.
    What do you say ?, Have an idea ?

    Yes, but I am inclined to agree with user Templeton Peck - I prefer Boot Camp.  Otherwise I was MAX OUT the ram upgrade.  And isn't it FRUSTRATING how expensive the new AutoCAD by Autodesk for MAC is?!?!  It's twice the price of a new MAC!  NUTS!  I did give the free trail a go & have to say that I like it....but not when I've already paid for a PC copy!  Frustrating, just frustrating...
    BTW - recently upgraded to the i7 15"MBP w/ Thunderbolt.  LOOOOVE it!  Can't wait to see what Thunderbolt technology will bring...glad I waited.
    Cheers!

  • HT202213 Problem: My Library doesn't share on Windows (on BootCamp, Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard)

    Hello,
    I've installed iTunes on Windows Vista, (under BootCamp, on my Macbook).
    I want to see my library on my Windows, but it doesn't work.
    I already have activated the Home Sharing, and authorized both computers. (I have turned OFF those 2 options and turned ON again, as I read somewhere, but it doesn't work.)
    Any ideas?
    thank you!

    Limewire has not updated their software for Leopard. Currently only runs on 10.4.X (Tiger) according to their website.

  • Bootcamp - Windows XP - 24" Mac Monitor

    I'm having a lot of issues with keeping my 24" Mac Monitor active as primary. Whenever I turn on my Macbook Pro, it doesn't initialize the monitor. I'm forced to go into the Nvidia control panel and active clone view. This is a rather annoying process. Has anyone figured out how to make it work permanently? I don't have this issue on the Mac side.

    Hi there,
    Nope, not using Bootcamp which the Beta expired abot Sept. 15th 2007.
    It is possible if you upgrade to Leopard, or if you have an IntelMac & get Parallels or VMware...

  • Magic mouse lagging or unresponsive when using bootcamp windows 7 on Mac Mini but works fine in Mac OSX 10.8.4

    I updated the Apple Broadcam built-in bluetooth radio software through Windows and it found an update. Updated Boot Camp software/drivers to version 5.0.33, the latest which includes a wireless mouse piece.  Replaced the batteries again and turn it off/on several times. In the Bluetooth menu, this mouse usually does not show up in connected devices or will not show up as a device that can be added.  Once it did show up right after turning it off/on but took forever to connect then lost its connection right away and couldn't be discovered again.
    I don't think drivers are the issue, seems to be some kind of conflict with wireless adapter & bluetooth maybe. 
    I found this which looked promising but no luck:  http://kemal.co/index.php/2012/09/laggy-magic-mouse-boot-camp-windows/
    Any ideas?

    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?

    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!

    Hello Everyone,
              I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
    Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
    1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
    Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
    Any help will be much appreciated
    Regards
    Mithun

    you can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
    GPT (GUID)
    EFI
    Mac HFS
    Lion Recovery
    Windows
    And now you have two HFS
    One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
    If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.

  • How to scroll up and down in IBM client access using windows 7 on mac running bootcamp

    How to scrool up and down in Client Access 5250 (AS/400 emulator) using windows 7 on Mac running boot camp. The key board does not function within the client access 5250 session?

    You can also share a printer between the Mac/PC as well as files and mounted Volumes, see the Tiger articles here
    http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/
    You may want to use Bonjour for Windows on your PC
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/
    Then there are VNC clients for Mac/PC that also allow you to actually control the other machine, if they aren't in the same room and you just need to check something quick that can be handy, it's kind of slow though for regular use.
    The main benefit of partitioning is being able to have different versions of bootable OS on them. You can try out Leopard on a new partition, while keeping your Tiger partition intact, you can have a XP/Vista partition for parallels or BootCamp, etc... other than that drives are pretty much fast enough, having smaller partitions probably won't realize any significant speed ups over searching the whole large drive.

    No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

  • How can you find serial number on mac mini running bootcamp Windows 7?

    I am using a Mac mini and it is running bootcamp Windows 7, and I want to be able to look for the serial number using the Windows 7 side without booting up to the Mac OSX partition. can anyone help me out with this?

    I don't think there is a way to get the Mac serial number in Windows. You could carefully lift up the Mac and look at the printed serial number on the outside of the Mac without having to turn off the computer, otherwise it would be necessary to boot in to Mac OS X.
    If you still have the physical packaging the Mac came in the serial number would also be printed on that.

  • If I partitioned my drive from within a bootcamped windows volume will it destroy my GPT scheme and disable my booting ability into Mac OSx?

    Alright I consider myself a fairly computer literate person but do excuse me if this issue is not actually all that interesting. Know that I would call apple care but what I am trying to do isn't exactly supported by them so they wouldn't help me. I am setting up my system to triple boot. I did the normal method as far as I can tell. I used bootcamp assistant to shrink my drive and installed windows through that. All went well. So then I had a apprx 400gb mac os volume and a 100gb windows volume. Following the advice from the mactel team over at the ubuntu help site I logged into windows via startup+option. When I did this all volumes popped up. recovery mac and windows. selected windows and then used the windows disk utility equivalent to shrink that partition in half. When I did this I check the disk manager and all was well. all volumes were there and healthy. When I restarted my computer in the boot manager window though only the recovery boot and the windows boot showed up. After doing a little research I figured that the error was negligible and that I could fix it easily enough later so I proceeded to then format the free space volume into an ntfs for the ubuntu setup. When I did that and restarted only the windows boot shows up in the boot menu. When I look through disk manager all of the partitions are where they should be and healthy. The only real clue I've found is that when inside of bootcamp control panel instead of the different volumes showing up as they are normally supposed to it gives me the option of startup from the windows volume the ntfs volume and a pseudo volume that doesnt physically exist that serves the purpose of windows recovery. This makes me think something went wrong with bootcamp. I would rEFIt it and try to see if theres some magic I could work in there but I can't install that program on windows. Additionally I found out that theres some talk that ssd can only handle two bootable partitions and that perhaps when I added a partition it shifted priority to volumes 2 and 3 instead of 1 and 2. I've tried all of the bootup tricks i know and some I looked up. the only one that still works is the boot manager window. The rest just do nothing and then go straight to windows which makes me thing if something happened with bootcamp that all the very low level osx to setup and then run windows on top of that- that now the operation isn't running as planned and windows is actually touching the hardware thus subverting any attempts to use low level osx tricks to get around it. Anyway those are the facts and my thoughts.
    Having done more research than when I originally wrote ^^ I now realize that the entire reason for bootcamp (sans driver issues) is to deal with the difference between  the use of GPT and MBR. I am now pretty sure that rewriting any part of the drive from software that uses MBR will mess up the partition scheme of the entire drive. Additionally I've seen a few things about ssd's being weird when they have too many partitions on them. And lastly I have an iso image of my computer right before I started tinkering so if anything I can factory reset and voila(I don't feel like pulling up a french keyboard).
    picture from disk manager in windows

    I actually managed to get the setup running and relatively stable. There were alot of random issues and quite honestly I was fixing my computer more often that I was using it so I backed out. If anyone wants to do this like I did I would say: It's not easy and definitely not for someone who doesn't know anything about the differences between operating systems and partitioning schemes. That being said I didn't know nearly enough and if you're careful its possible. The steps however aer pretty simple.
    Before doing anything get a third party boot handle up and stable on your machine.
    1. Create a partition for Windows
    2. Create a partition for Linux
    3. Bootcamp Windows. This step can be tricky with the extra partition because bootcamp tries to handle all of it for you so it may benefit some people to bootcamp first and then create a linux partition. But that comes with its own set of issues.
    4. Run Linux setup from inside of osX NOT windows.
    There are a hundred steps that could come between each of those and I neither have the expertise nor the balls to empower someone who needs to read a forum post how to do it. But it really wasn't more conceptually complicated than that.
    Now on to the new issue. I was getting .NET framework incompatibilities and the whole reason I wanted the windows setup was to game so I deleted that partition. When I did that everything went back to normal EXCEPT somewhere somehow the windows boot manager is still buried and when I boot up it tries to boot into windows which obviously doesnt exist anymore. Any advise on how to get rid of this?
    to make things clear I'm now running "single" partition.
