Vista 64: boot camp 3.2/3.1 crashes

Hi,
i tried to install the 3.2 update of 64bit boot camp 3.2.
Right after double clicking the exe a windows msg pops up saying: "installationprogram of apple boot camp update doesn´t work anymore" (translation from german!).
I also tried to run the update from "apple software update" - same result.
My vista 64 home premium is up to date.
Do you have any suggestions/hints for me?
Thx
Chris
PS: I also tried to reinstall boot camp 3.1 - same thing.

Trouble with hard drive? try chkdsk
Trouble with Vista? try command line "system file checker"
sfc /scannow
Also, try control click and "Troubleshoot Compatibility" or change properties of BC 3.2.
Upgrade to Widows 7 (maybe wait for SP1 in a month or two)

  • Can't uninstall or re-install Vista drivers (Boot Camp 2.1)

    I'm having problems with my MacBook Pro's bluetooth support in Vista under Boot Camp so I thought I'd try to re-install the Boot Camp 2.1 drivers. However, whenever I run the setup program, it just gives me a useless error message saying it encountered an error before it could start the install, and to please try again later. Rebooting doesn't help.
    So I thought maybe I could uninstall all the Apple stuff then start again. But when I try to uninstall "Boot Camp services" from the programs and features control panel, it starts to uninstall, but then gives up silently as it nears the completion of the "gathering information" dialog.
    So I can't uninstall or re-install this thing. Anyone know how I can fix this?
    Thanks!

    It may be too late, but have you tried going into the drivers using Vista's control panel and either removing the drivers or reverting to precious drivers?

  • Problems using vista with boot camp

    Hello,
    I am currently running vista with boot camp and I have been experiencing a few issues. First on the windows partition it claims that no sound driver is installed-is there an easy fix to this? Also I have been trying to plug in my WD My Book USB external hard drive but I cannot find it to use...although in the device manager it claims that it is working properly. Thanks guys

    When you first installed Windows did you install the drivers that came on your Leopard Installation disk?
    If not then boot into Windows and get to the Vista Desktop. At this time, insert your Leopard Installation disk in the drive. This should automatically begin installing the Boot Camp 2.0 hardware drivers on your partition. Once completed, you will be asked to reboot into Windows and then you should be all set.

  • ATI driver installation issue with Windows Vista on Boot Camp (new iMac)

    I've just purchased a new 20" iMac with Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz.
    Then I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition.
    Vista installation was eventless and worked nicely.
    Now the problem has begun...
    I downloaded the latest ATI graphic card driver (Catalyst 7.7 for Vista 32) from the ATI website. The Catalyst software did not recognize the graphic card and installed nothing. I still have generic Microsoft standard VGA video adapter, which keeps me from playing any recent 3D games...
    Someone please help me on this so that I can start playing Oblivion...

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    I still have to find a verification for this, but:
    Aplle has up to now always used the Mobility versions of the ATI and NVIDIA graphics chips in the iMacs and MacBooks, MacBooks Pro.
    I assume that the in the new imacs, they are also using the Mobility version of the Radeon 2400/2600.
    The ATI drivers you can download from the ATI/AMD website are only suitable for the Desktop Radeons, NOT for the Mobility Radeons.
    ATI/AMD does not provide drivers for the Mobility Radeons, but are refering to the Manufacturer of the Computer for Drivers, which is Apple.
    Sorry to say, but it seems you have to wait for a new BootCamp version which you include Driver support of the new iMacs.
    Sorry

  • Need help installing my graphics driver in windows vista via boot camp

    New to mac so first time on forum as well.
    Love the Mac but i also want to get on some old games. C&C The First Decade mainly.
    I am currently using below.
    Mac mini Mid 2011 processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core it
    Memory 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB
    Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    Installing windows vista home premium 32 bit
    I have installed windows vista home premium using boot camp assistant and downloaded the windows drivers as well. After i have installed windows i installed boot camp using my Mac OS X snow leopard which installed boot camp 3 or 3.1 i believe and i eventually got apple updates for 3.2 which is what i am now runnning on vista. I had trouble getting my sound to play through my speakers at first but eventually got them working and now it is my graphics driver that i cannot seem to get working. In vista(I also downloaded service pack 1 and 2) when i go to control panel and check out my device control it shows a yellow exclamation point next to the adapter. I guess i need help in getting my graphics installed correctly on my windows. Is there something i should take off to install the correct driver? Or do i just need the correct driver download? If i have the correct driver how do i upload it onto my windows side in the device control.
    When i try to run c&c generals/zero hour i get a directx 8.1 error, red alert 2 is black but i can hear. i know these games can work i installed the graphics correctly the first time when i did not have sound as this is my second time installing windows so the game did load when i did not have sound.
    Advise?
    I was thinking about saying forget this i can't waste hours of my time anymore but i have to be close to getting everything working if i had graphics before and no sound but sound this time and no graphics. I was also thinking about just buying windows 7 home premium sp1 64bit system builder dvd off amazon and reinstalling windows using windows 7 but i want to make sure i can play these games before i spend the money. I thought my mini couldn't support windows vista and if it did only boot camp 4? how am i getting this far to get things to work?
    What is the driver i need to install to get these games working? What do I need to do or what am I missing???
    Do i need to install a different boot camp off apple and find a driver that will get mine to work in vista?
    Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated i have been at this everyday for hours.

    Also is there something, say maybe a driver, that was installed i do not need that is blocking me from installing the correct drivers? What driver in my boot camp folder do i need to install to get to the correct display to run those games.

  • Why two QuickTimes with Apple Software Update in Vista under Boot Camp?

    Running Apple software update in BootCamped Vista, I see selection for 1) QuickTime, 2) Safari, 3) iTunes & QuickTime.
    Items 1) and 3) are by default checked for download. Why would I want to download QuickTime twice??

    Hi!
    Funny you should mention that! Same thing happened to me yesterday, I was downloading Boot camp 2.1 and there were the other three downloads you mentioned. I downloaded them anyway. I now have Safari 3.2.1 (etc.) on my Windows partition. Why did I do that ? To be frank I do not know!! Now you have all three on the Windows partition.

  • How to increase screen resolution in Vista under boot camp?

    I have installed Vista Home Premium under boot camp (OS X 10.5.7) but in preferences I can only get the maximum of 1280x960 while my screen resolution on SyncMaster P2250 in OS X is 1920x1080.
    (I am using new Mac mini with NVIDIA GeForce 9400).
    I have inserted Leopard disc in Vista and installed boot camp but still I can't make the resolution higher.

    OK everything works fine! The problem was that after installation of Vista I was inserting old Leopard disc that I bought a year ago instead of inserting the Mac OS X installation disc that I got with new Mac mnini.
    When I put the Mac OS X that was toghether with new Mac mini it installed missing driver and everything started working

  • Installing Windows vista using boot camp..

    I am trying to isntall windows vista using the boot camp and it says IMPORTANT: back up your disk before partitioning it or installing windows. I'm not quite sure on what that means or if i should continue in the boot camp because I don't know what that means......

    *"I'm not quite sure on what that means"*
    It means just what it says... backup your files prior to installing Boot Camp...in the event something goes wrong.

  • Second monitor very dim on Vista 32 Boot Camp 2.1

    I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card driving two Apple Cinema HD monitors (first is 23" and an older 24") and after installing BC 2.1 the second monitor becomes dim and the NVIDIA control panel can't be used to get a satisfactory setting nor does the brightness button at the front do anything. The 23" monitor is fine and the brightness buttons on the side can be used perfectly. When I run OS X I find the brightness has been turned down to the minimum setting on the 24" monitor- having changed it in display properties on OS X, it becomes dim again when Vista is started on BC (it remains bright during the startup process for Vista!). It seems this is a BC 2.1 issue as when I roll back to installation disk drivers the problem disappears. Any ideas?!?

    Hi Stefan
    Thanks for the suggestion. However, in the Boot Camp Control Panel with BC 2.1 I have two tabs (Startup Disk and Power). I seem to recall that under a previous version there was a Brightness tab. This may be a problem with BC 2.1 installation- I can't seem to locate drivers install facility for BC 2.1, only Update to 2.1 seems to be available.... Kuldeep

  • Dual Mointor Questions with Vista in Boot Camp

    Hello,
    Right now I am testing the MacBook Pro's ability to support the need of our business. As of now, we are distributing PC's and Mac's to marketing and web design folks. For a chance to save money, we are going to see if boot camp will work to our advantage. Everything is a thumbs up so far! The last thing we need to figure out, is how to run dual external monitors in Vista. We are using a DVI splitter that splits to a DVI and VGA. When I hook everthing up, I can get the video to run extended desktop to one of the monitors when I am still using the laptop screen. I know some people have been able to update the video drivers, but I have not been able to find any. Any advice?

    I used a driver and inf file from this site:

    worked great

  • Upgrading to Vista with Boot Camp 2.1 and XP SP3

    Hello
    I decided to buy Vista to see for myself how it works. It hasn't come in yet, but I want to know if I can upgrade to Vista when I have Boot Camp 2.1, and Windows XP Service Pack 3.

    I have upgraded to Vista SP1 from XP SP3 successfully on one of my macs. Once Windows is loaded and up and running then you can upgrade it just like you normally would when running a Windows based PC.

  • Boot Camp 4.0 - Atikmdag.sys crash

    Hi all,
    I've got a BIG problem with Boot Camp 4.0 ATI driver.
    I use a mac mini mid-2011 plugged to a Iiyama PLB2403WS monitor with a HDMI cable. That screen can display 1920x1200 mode.
    When I boot the system on Mac OS X Lion, it works perfectly.
    After using Boot Camp 4.0 to install Windows 7, the first boot worked well. I had no Aero effects.
    But, when I installed Boot Camp Windows support drivers, it did not work anymore.
    ATI drivers are guilty because it makes Windows 7 crash at each startup.
    I get the famous BSOD displaying the filename Atikmdag.sys with error "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA".
    I guess Apple and AMD must fix the ATI driver for the graphic chip "AMD Radeon 6630M".
    When i plug the mac mini on my Samsung HDMI TV, it works great, Windows starts without crashing and i get the Aero effects.
    And then when i plug it back to the Iiyama monitor, Windows crashes.
    It's confusing and frustrating as I'm not willing to use my TV as the mac mini's monitor display.
    Is there any way to make Apple or AMD fix that ?
    Or has anyone of you succeeded in using same hardware than me ?
    Thanks for your help !

    Well I found out by my own a way to overcome this problem
    Here is the process to do under windows 7:
    1. Install Bootcamp drivers
    2. Windows 7 restarts the computer
    3. Blue Screen Of Death and the computer automatically restarts...
    4. At the restart, press and hold ALT key for boot selection. Choose Windows and then press F8 and then choose Safe Mode with Network activated
    5. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and rename atikmdag.sys to atikmdag.sys.old
    6. Download latest AMD Radeon Mobility driver for the graphic card (mine is AMD Radeon 6xxxM series)
    7. Install the driver
    8. Restart the computer
    9. Optional : delete file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\atikmdag.sys.old
    It works ! You get the Aero effects, no more crash.
    My mistake was uninstalling bootcamp's graphical driver beforetrying to install AMD's official drivers (that couldn't detect/recognize the hardware).
    But if you don't uninstall bootcamp's graphics drivers, then use the official and latest AMD driver it detects the hardware and you can install the up-to-date driver that works.

  • Boot Camp 2.0 Blue Screen crash, bcmwl5.sys

    My system info:
    MacBookPro5,2 with OS X 10.5.8
    BootCamp 2.0 with WinXP 32-bit SP2
    Wireless Card Type:          AirPort Extreme  (0x14E4, 0x8D)

    Cisco Linksys E2500 rounter (got latest firmware)
    I have been getting blue screen alot while I am playing video game by using wireless. If I use ethernet cable, there is no problem at all.
    Once I restart no problem at all, but it will happen again after a few hours.
    One thing when I start window, it does say found new hardware and ask me for driver for Broadcom adapter. It does have one already but I don't know why it asks me again.
    Blue Screen error : bcmwl5.sys
    SO my question is ...
    How do i fix it? I want to use wireless.
    If it is as simple as update driver, where can I download it.
    Thanks
