Vista Premium Home Edition 32-bit on newest Macbook Issues PLEASE help!

Please someone help me with my problem, I'm begging! I've asked around a bunch of places and everyone comes back to me with "well it's a mac.. use it as a mac why do you have vista on it" and never seem to help me. I love my mac, but I also use Vista for many other programs.
Okay here's some backstory...
I recently had to buy a new macbook because my old white macbook came back to me unrepairable! So I had bought the newest model of the macbook, the aluminum 13-inch. Now on my old white one I had installed vista no problems at all, no issues. It ran beautifully! Now I thought I'd have no issues doing the same on the new macbook. Boy was I wrong! I portioned my disc - installed vista, installed the bootcamp drivers and started vista.
It was fine for a while but then I started getting sound cut outs and screaching noises! When I am gaming the sound cuts out completely but not before the game freezes. Then I started having issues watching videos and listening to audio on firefox. Then it'd crash completely! Now it's started shutting off completely giving me a blue screen for a couple seconds telling me there may be a conflict or driver issue. It doesnt stay on long enough for me to read but I ended up checking windows problems and solutions and found this:
"This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 and this version of Windows.
Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 was created by Intel Corporation and is distributed by Apple Inc.."
Also driver not found? - "Windows detected a new device attached to your computer, but could not find the driver software it needs to make the device usable. Each device manufacturer typically includes driver software of a CD that comes with the device, or as a download from its website. The hardware ID of your device is ACPI\APP0001."
I don't know how to fix it. I've been trying everything - reading forums, trying to update drivers, reinstalling bootcamp drivers, and vista repair... I just have no idea what to do! Please help me!!! Please please! If you need more information ask for my email so I can talk to you more in-depth so I don't go insane trying to figure this out!

What do you want someone to say or do.
The story slides into information about Intel chipsets and crashing. That to me says take it into Apple and have AppleCare do something.
There is no reason to deal with an issue. A Mac is a personal computer. There is nothing that says it can't run Linux or Vista or has to run Leopard (though it isn't supported on older versions of OS X).
I've used Vista for over two years now, from RC1 pre-release to the latest SP2 beta.
Is your version of Vista SP1 or the older original?
I've found lately that I need to install some software even before Vista starts doing all the updates. Apple Boot Camp but also AV software etc. HOWEVER, given some of the reports, I sometimes wonder if the Apple Windows drivers are current and were tested on late 2008 to work with Vista and XP SP3.
I would think Vista SP1+ would be best bet. I'd even install Vista and then see when Windows 7 beta is officially available to the public, it runs better on laptops than Vista or XP. Better battery life, support for mobile and wireless devices etc.
You could play around and I've downloaded drivers or looked for drivers on Intel, something you would do on any PC running Vista. Maybe these links and discussions or Intel's. And find people and places that support you rather than "lecture." I don't know, haven't read up, on the device, or use a MacBook, but maybe these will help you.
"Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC"
From Intel: "Intel 82801GBM"
A number of reviews have come out looking at "who makes the best Vista capable laptop" and MacBook Pro and Air have both gotten high marks from reviewers like ComputerWorld.

  • Photo Shop Elements 5 Problem with Windows 7 Premium Home Edition

    I have been using PSE 5 on a laptop with Windows 7 Premium Home Edition and everything worked fine.  I just got a new desktop running Windows 7 Premium Home Edition and I loaded PSE 5 on it and I can't get it to open up.  The new desktop has a 64 bit processor and this is the only difference as far as I know.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and were you able to overcome it?

    Thank you for your response to our query.  We already have the  patch.

  • Problem with PC Suite and Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit

    I installed PC Suite on my desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit installed.  I was able to eventually run PC Suite (granted it needed to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode) and sync my calendar on my W518a cell phone with PC Suite via Bluetooth communications.  After I turned off my computer and restarted it, I could no longer open up PC Suite...its icon appears in my system tray with a red X over it as if it can't find the program.
    The SonyEricsson website indicates PC Suite can run with Windows 7.
    What is causing the problem I am having?  How do I get this corrected?

    I have downloaded and reinstalled the PC Suite software.  Although it is not working as well as it should, as long as I have my cell phone on with Bluetooth enabled prior to clicking on the icon to open the application, it seems to work OK.  Otherwise, when it opens, it just hangs and the only way you can close the program is to get into Task Manager and force it closed when its status is showing as "Not Responding".  I also have found that just "closing" the PC Suite window does not close the application...you have to click on the option to "Exit the Application" otherwise you continue to have it in your system tray with a red X over the icon.

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The standard answer with all text issues simply is, that you have a "bad font" on your system and need to get rid of it.

  • Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad.  We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc.  Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.

    Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad.  We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc.  Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.

    That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
    This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
    FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with).

  • Unable to print to office jet pro 8600 over wifi from a laptop running vista, basic home edition

    Have a new officejet 8600 pro and am able to print via wifi from laptop running windows 7 and hp touchpad running webos, so all is working fine. However, I am unable to print via wifi from a laptop running Vista Home Basic, 32 bit OS. I can see the printer from the laptop, but when trying to connect to it, receive the error message "Unsuccessful Network Installation, the printer was unable to be installed over the network".
    Have downloaded drivers from HP, turned off laptop firewall to ensure no blocking and still no luck. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

    Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help

    For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
    Hope this helped a bit, Sean

  • Home Sharing on iPad gone wrong...please help!

    Hi there,
    I recently found out about home sharing by a friend. So to save space on my iPad I simply download all my music and videos on my computer and then when I want to watch/listen I have the computer switched on and iTunes running and then it allows me to steam my content on my iPad - without downloading it and using up my 32GB of space. Its genius.
    Except, I have downloaded many different series of a few TV Shows i.e. Suits, Geordie Shore and Revenge. But today when I click on the Home Sharing on my iPad everything is all jumbled up. There a mulitple pictures and wrong Season title and when I open to view the episodes its a completly different show.
    For example when I open sharing - its shows Suits Season 3 (which doesn't exsist), the picture is the Season 2 picuture and when I open it - its Geordie Shore/Suits episodes all mixed up.
    It's really hard to find what I am looking for and I am confused as to what I have done wrong. I tried refeshing it, turning it on/off and checking iTunes but it is not going back to normal.
    Here's a pic to prove.... (bear in mind Suits season 3 doesn't exsist in the real world)

    Ok, here was the rundown of my situation, and the solution:
    I partitioned the disk through Bootcamp, tried to install Windows, and got to the point where it asks which partition to install on. It showed one with about 130GB, and that was ALL. So I backed out. Upon reboot, I tried to get back into the Mac OS by holding the Option key, and it wouldn't show me the option to go back - just the boot disk, and the Windows HDD (on which there was nothing yet, and which disappeared as an option on the next reboot).
    In speaking to the support line, I formatted my hard drive re-installed, and we suspected the problem was due to the 10GB partition I created - apparently Windows XP needs 15GB to install itself. Maybe it just picked the wrong partition and screwed it up?
    I tried the process again, same thing happened. I called the support line again, got someone different, and was informed of my real problem:
    ------I was using a Windows XP disk I had received with my PC when I bought it a few years ago (an OEM Windows XP disk)-------
    Apparently you can't do that for some reason! I was told that my partitioning was ok, and it was the copy of Windows that was screwed up, and I would have to go buy a new version (which I'm not going to do).
    Before trying Boot Camp, I had this exact copy of Windows installed through Parallels, and it worked fine - I just stupidly decided to make the switch to Boot Camp and all **** broke lose. Back to Parallels!

  • Is Adobe Reader Touch (using windows 8) supposed to be able to edit pdfs, or just view them? Please help!

    Hi Community,
    I cannot edit pdfs using Adobe Reader Touch. Going out of my mind. My Windows 8 laptop can barely save them, never mind edit them.
    Or is Adobe Reader Touch only able to read them? Is it a cheaper version installed in the laptop to keep the laptop prices down?
    If it can edit pdfs please tell me how!!
    Thanks for any advice.
