The directions for installing Bootcamp do not work on Vista

I tried setting up Bootcamp yesterday with Vista Business 32 bit on a new Macbook Pro (P8400 2.4 ghz, 2 gb ram, Nvidia 9400/9600GT). The install went fine and I was able to boot into Vista.
So I inserted the Leopard disc that came with my Macbook Pro and installed bootcamp on Vista. Restarted the computer and none of the device drivers install. Could not get on the internet, no graphic driver, no wireless networking drivers.
So I found an update to Bootcamp (2.1) so then I transfered this to the Macbook and updated Bootcamp. Restarted, but still nothing.
Someone suggested getting the drivers from the websites of these companies, however that poses one problem. What driver do I install for the Nvidia graphics chipset since it has a 9400/9600 GT.
I think it is a little ridiculous that Bootcamp is advertised to work, but I believe it is not possible to get it to work on the new Macbook Pros using the Leopard disc. Calling Apple Support did not resolve anything. The guy on the other end was stumped. Any suggestions?

You don't need to disable UAC to do anything normal (and it is a lot less annoying than all the dialogue boxes and typing password you face in OS X).
You probably need more current drivers than BC 2.1 and might have the latest on your DVD. Remember BC 2.1 came out a full yr ago. And is long long overdue for driver updates.
If you were using Windows 7 beta might have better luck, 10th is last day to download, and there you need to use
"installer name" properties -> Compatibility Mode -> Vista
for drivers to install properly.
There have been problems with BC due to language registry settings is about it. And out of date.

I have win 7 pro and the download for jre 7u10 does not work on Firefox17, I have installed and uninstalled, but works on internet explorer.

I have uninstalled jre7u10, the latest version of java, and re-installed this several times and it will NOT work on Firefox 17. I have checked that the plugins are downloaded in the add-ons tab and made sure they are Enabled. I have tried disabling every plugin I have on the page, but it still will NOT run on FF 17. So, I have uninstalled jre7u10 in windows control panel. I got the jre7u10 download for windows 7 from the actual java website.
I don't know what else to do. I am totally confused as to why it works on Internet explorer but not Firefox 17. It gives me an error message on a chat window on one of my sites that says error client class not found, But I DON'T get this error when I use Internet explorer because the chat window works with it. HELP PLEASE ???????????
I am not that good with computers so take it easy on me please.
Thanks in advance

I questioned that 64 bit version thing and when I checked the download it sent me to the java version 32 bit for windows 7. The download of jre 32 bit works for my computer on internet explorer but not for firefox 17. I also checked firefox and there is not a 64 bit version browser. so I don't get this at all. anyway, I don't know what a 64 bit vs a 32 bit means but someone asked me to check that too on the site I went to they thought it might be different browser. It's not.

The logfile shows 1 fatal error:

I have tried to uninstall an reinstall. Did not work at all, because the same Problem is shown.

I followed all the directions to get Norton 360 to work with Firefox 8, but nothing works. I love Firefox, but if my Norton 360 won't work with it I'll be stuck with IE, which I do not like. Please Help Me!

I followed all the directions to get Firefox 8 to work with my Norton 360, but nothing has worked. Is there anything else I can do? I didn't know there was an issue when I first upgraded to Firefox 8 so didn't choose the Norton plug ins immediately so I uninstalled Firefox hoping to be able to do it correctly when I Downloaded it again. Unfortunately it didn't ask me any thing regarding Norton so I went to Plug ins as directed to Enable Norton 360's plug ins, but none were listed.
What can I do now? I LOVE Firefox! If we can't make it work I'll be stuck with Internet Explorer which I do not care for at all!
I need to have Norton Security to protect my computer. Please help me find a solution to this problem ASAP.
Thank you,

Hi Susie, I use Norton 360 and have the latest Firefox 8 installed is working fine for me. Firefox 8 support for [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/Firefox-8-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/581640 Norton Toolbar] was released on Nov 8th. Install the appropriate add-ons based on the version of Norton 360 you're using (see official Norton link above). Hope this helps.

Where are _correct_ directions for installing the Adobe Flash Reader plug-in

There are directions for installing Adobe Flash Player in its new Firefox incarnation as a plug-in rather than its old incarnation as a stand-alone program. Unfortunately, the directions are not for the current versions of either Firefox or Adobe Flash Player, and not only don't work, but don't even make sense. Are there _correct_ directions somewhere that will let a reasonably naive user install this plugin? Following the existing directions get conformation at ever step that the installation has succeeded, but in the case, nothing is there to run. As a result, that huge fraction of the web using Adobe Flash Player is now broken for me.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Firefox changed Adobe Flash Player to be used as a plug-in.

There is no stand-alone Adobe Flash; never has been that I recall. The following will install the plugin.
'''Install/Update Adobe Flash Player for Firefox (aka Shockwave Flash)''': your ver. N/A; current ver. 10.1 r53 ('''important security update 2010-06-10'''; see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-14.html)

My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. It rejects the disc. Problem after reinstall of backup from hdd.

My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. I had a new harddrive installed in November and the MacStore installed my backups from an external harddrive. I do not use it other than to upload programs, so I have not tried using it until tax season, but it rejects the disc. The ata file indicates no dvd firmware, but the serial-ata does indicate firmware for a dvdrw. What might I do about this to bring the dvd back, least expensive to most?

Yesterday I started having the same problem. Can read disc (play movies and music) but blank disk are ejected or idvd cannot see the blank disk. I have a almost 12 month old 27" i7 imac.

Probably the best place to start is the right forum for your product. This is the forum for Distiller Server, a long dead product used by big companies, and probably not what you have. If you can't find the right forum, please let us know the FULL name of what you paid for (please check your invoice, as Adobe have many similar products), and we can perhaps direct you. Good luck!

Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
You are using the latest version of iTunes
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.
