Vista basic or vista home premium sp1 for macbook pro

Ok so I got windows home premium sp1 today as i didnt think the basic would work, apparently it will. I am not certain if the home premium would work though because it has sp1. do i need one without it? i have yet to open the box so i can always return it.
All i really want bootcamp(windows) for is to be able to install and play video games that mac's are not able to. So basic would be enough for me yes? Thank you for any help.
EDIT: I have yet to open the windows vista home premium sp1 yet as well incause the vista basic will work(i dont want to spend more then i have to in order to get bootcamp to work just for a video game)

So I go to the city today,from the mac dealer I bought my MBP from, they assured me the XP home edition version they have would work, so go race over there (45min later) and pick it up, store was pretty much closed soon as i left. when i actually take a closer look i see it doesn't have the service pack required for the XP versions. So tomorrow gotta go back to return it I hate my life.
I know this is more less my fault for not looking further, but you'd think the dealer would know the requirements for the new operating systems and how bootcamp works. dfngsdkj

Bluetooth software license file - HP Touchsmart IQ772 Vista Home Premium SP1

I installed Driver Max a couple of weeks ago and updated outdated drivers, blutooth amongst them, identified by Driver Max, on my HP Touchsmart IQ772, Vista Home Premium SP1. Since last week, I get this message every time I log on or restart my computer; Bluetooth Software license file not found. [2]. What does this mean and how do I stop this happening again?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

I had the same problem after doing a registry clean-up on my touchsmart iq518a, don't know why it worked but i fixed it by going to programs and features on the control panel and uninstalling the 'bluetooth by hp' program. Everything still works perfectly and that annoying message no longer comes up.
Hope this helps

HT4410 how to download win 7 64 bit home premium drivers for mac pro

You should visit the Boot Camp forum rather than posting here in the Macbook Pro forum. There are multiple threads about your issue going on right now. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Vista has no drivers for MacBook Pro DVD drive

When I boot into Vista, everything works well enough but I can't use the DVD drive on my MacBook Pro. Under the device manager it's listed as not having drivers and when you tell it to find them on the internet, it comes up empty handed.
Anyone know where I can find drivers for this drive? It's a Matsushita UJ-857D.

I've been having the same problem. THere was a discussion with a link that no longer exists.

Even PS doesn't do that, except for CS 4. PSE 7, the latest version of PSE is based on CS3, so

Hello.I have installed windows 7 home premium on my macbook pro mostly for playing games.But there is a problem.Whenever I launch a game, the screen just zooms in one part and I cannot see the whole screen.Therefore,I cannot play.Help please !

I tried to re-install games as well, restart my macbook but it did not work.I want to add that even before using bootcamp, the same thing happened to the screen.So, I do not think that there is a problem with windows 7.
Thank you in advance

Device Manager which is in Control Panels
I strongly recommend AIDA64 to show everything, temps, fans, chips, drivers and versions

K210 Vista Home Premium not booting after latest Vista Update.

This is my pc specs:
Lenovo IdeaCentre K210 Intel Desktop PC - Intel Celeron Dual Core E1200 1.6GHz, 2GB DDR2, 320GB SATA II, DVDRW, Intel GMA3100, Webcam, Veriface, Flash Reader, Vista Home Premium SP1
After the latest windows update on February 12th, 2009. I woke up to my pc error beeping continously at the prompt before windows should boot up.
I have only had this lenovo pc for 5 months and it was working perfectly fine before this update. Onekey recovery is not working. I cannot get it to boot from a dvd or cd. I tried a recovery disc, did not work. I changed the pc to boot from the dvd and that did not work.
If I have it boot normally I get the continous error beeping.
The fact that I am writing this from my 6 year old HP computer makes me rethink my recent purchase of the Lenovo brand.

If you think a windows update caused the problem; are you able to say which update caused the problem?
You could also describe the beep error more precisely before it boots into windows. Or is windows not working at all in normal or safe mode?
Thanks

Audigy SE & Windows Vista Home Premium - No sound after sl

Hi Everyone,
I installed an audigy se card in my media center since the onboard audio wasn't supported in Vista anymore. Sound (at least 2.) seems to be all good until I put the machine to sleep while in Media Center. When I wake up the machine, there is no audio in media center, regardless of how much I fiddle with the volume/mute buttons. The only way I can restore audio is if I quit media center and reopen it (for a media center pc, this is sort of a pain).
Has anyone encountered this and what was the solution? Thanks in advance!
Here are my machine specs:
- 2.54 GHz P4
- ASUS P4PE-BP
- GB RAM
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
- ATI TV Wonder Elite
- Audigy SE (with latest vista drivers)

I have exactly the same problem, with exactly the same solution (quit and restart Media Center).
Does anyone have any ideas? I have looked at BIOS options as well as power options, driver and audio in Vista.
I find it odd that restarting Media Center fixes the problem. The audio card must have awoke from sleep sucessfully? No reboot or anything else is needed.
Athlon 64 3000+
ASUS A8V-VM SE
GB DDR 3200
Radeon x550
Audigy SE
Netgear WG3T
Kworld dual tuner 30 PCIe
Only similarity is Media Center and Audigy SE!?!
Latest drivers for everthing.
Thanks!Message Edited by DarrenGraves on 06-4-200704:06 PM

I can't synchronize my iPod's with my iTunes software (Windows Vista Home Premium) due to problems with the access authorization / rights for this operation

Hi there,
I'd like to ask you something:
I'm trying to synchronize all my iPod's (I have as many as 4 iPods: 2 iPod touch a 8 GB each and 2 iPod classic a 160 GB each) with my iTunes software (Version 11.3.1 which is installed on a Windows PC (Windows Vista Home Premium)). Unfortunately, the iTunes software refuses to run the command "synchronize with the iPod connected" regarding each and every iPod I have. iTunes just declares:
Synchronizing is impossible because I wouldn't hold the access authorization / rights for this operation.
I uploaded the songs at issue to my iTunes folder from CD's (all songs are in AAC format now).
What is this access authorization, why was something like that invented and what can I do to get it?
How do I have to proceed in detail?
What would it cost?
I am brand new here and have never ever made a post in any support community anywhere in the world in my life. Well, and I am not excessively knowledgeable about the particular computer or mac language but I know the very basics or can find out about them.
Anyways - can you help me please?
If you can't help me, who can do so?
It would be nice if you could answer me as soon as possible!
Thank you guys

Yes, others have experienced the problem, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that and the simple solution.
Termporarily disable any security software on the computer.

32-bit Vista Home Premium - Explorer.exe visual basic library C++ runtime crash

Friends,
I have a weird Explorer.exe crash going on when attempting to use Windows Explorer to access my iTunes Movies folder.
Background: Running 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2) on a Gateway GM5664 Desktop (2.3 GHz Quad-core AMD CPU with 3 Gb RAM). Firefox is primary browser.
All of the latest Vista updates suggested by the OS have been successfully installed (thru 8-14-09). McAfee and Dr. Web scanners have shown no malware issues as of yesterday. Latest Radeon Catalyst Video Drivers are installed. C: drive has been cleaned and defragmented using the Vista utilities.
Situation: I attemped to access the directory where my iTunes Video library lives using Windows Explorer. As Explorer is processing the files in the appropriate sub-directory, the system crashes with the following message:
"Runtime error in explorer.exe. The application has required the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team
for more info." It indicates the nature of the error as something related to Visual Basic C++
I downloaded the freeware CCleaner registry cleaner, and it corrected numerous registry errors, however, the phenomenon still exists. When I downloaded
a commercial registry-fixing product (Quad Registry Cleaner), after doing a preliminary scan, it is indicating several more errors that the freeware version didn't pick up, the most common being empty registry keys. Since most commercial registry cleaners are snake oil, I am trying to identify other solutions to the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know the answer to this, but I wonder if there is a file in your movie folder that is upsetting Windows explorer when it attempts to preview it or display an icon.
As an off the wall suggestion try setting your folder view to the simplest possible thing, no preview and list view.
If you can't get into the problem folder, you can set this up in another folder and then go to folder options>>view where there is a button to apply the setting to all folders.

Hi Abdallah,
According to your description, could you please post the summary and detail logs for further analysis? By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Usually, the error occurs when the Windows Installer Service is not running or the Windows Installer registry settings are corrupted. I recommend you reset the Windows Installer Service settings in the registry and restart the Windows Installer Service,
then reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2. For more details, please review this similar
article.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
