Why isn't bootcamp on Windows 7 64-bit not using graphics card?

I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15' inch. I partitioned Windows 7 Ultimate through BC and used 60GB for the partition. I successfully downloaded Windows 7 but realized that the wireless and such did not work. So I updated the drivers manually through the apple website (Update 5.0.5033). The wireless and other drivers work. But when I try to run a game it say the program has suddenly stopped working and cannot fix the problem. The game then says could not init graphics. Which makes me assume that the graphics driver either did not work or I installed it incorrectly.
Can anyone help with this problem?

Have you tried redownloading the driver package from bootcamp on the mac side? I have found that sometimes the drivers don't download right and they usually work when I go get them again.

  • New Satellite C660-1F1 windows 64-bit -cant use graphics editing software

    Hi Guys....any help appreciated...this is the message I sent to Toshiba support but they are taking their time getting back to me:
    Important information: Satellite C660-1F1
    Key Features
    - Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
    - Intel Core i3-380M Processor
    - DVD-SuperMulti +-R (Double Layer)
    - 2048 MB DDR3 RAM (1066MHz)
    - 39.6cm (15.6") TruBrite HD (1366 x 768) High Brightness display with LED backlight with 16:9 aspect ratio
    Hi... I purchased my laptop about a month ago from Argos and it has a 2 year warranty. I have one big problem - the 2 main graphics editing programmes that I use do not work. Both Corel Paintshop Photo Pro x3 and Adobe CS5 can both be installed and opened but as soon as I try to save a photo or edit a photo both of the programmes crash and i have to close it down by using end task in task manager.
    This happened when I installed the full versions of both programmes which I purchased and it also happens when you download the trial versions from both the Corel and the Adobe download sites. I have been on so many help forums for both adobe and corel and the most helpful pointer came from one of the designers at Adobe - a Chris Cox.
    He very logically stated that as it happened in both of these 2 graphics editing packages that it was most likely a problem with the graphics card drivers or the actual graphics card hardware. I purchased a 64-bit operating system to handle precisely these 2 programmes which can be exhausting on the system. I know i only have 2 GB RAM at the moment but it has been happening with other people...some who even have 8GB and 16GB of RAM which is what I will have in the next few weeks. However, not if I cannot rectify this problem. Please can you help/advise the best solution. This seems to be a problem only with the 64-bit systems. Both Adobe and Corel are 64-bit compatible.
    There is also a message that appears when I open Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended....which is as follows:
    ...."Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements, Check the video card manufacturers website for the latest software."
    I then click that message away ....use the programme, edit something, try to save and it crashes. I have gone through all troubleshooting directions and ran countless diagnostics but there only seems to be one common denominator between the 2 different programmes and that is my Toshiba laptop.... I even tried installing another large photo editing software package to test it and I had the same result - an application crash.
    Please help! Thanking you in advance.
    Kind regards
    John

    Hello John
    Have you already got some answer from Toshiba?
    What to say my friend? In my opinion the best advice you can get from Corel and Adobe. They have best experience with own product and have probably tested them on different hardware platforms.
    Notebook manufacturers offer different notebook models with different hardware configurations. Some of them are cheap and offered with average hardware. The performance is not the best but good enough for every day activities like internet, office, mailing and so on.
    On other hand there are notebooks with excellent and powerful hardware. Very often such notebooks cost twice as much as cheap low budget products.
    Please dont understand me wrong but your C notebook is not the best one for usage with such powerful software.
    I really dont know what Toshiba can do about it. I can imagine that you need other graphic driver but graphic driver support for mobile computers is pretty limited and I dont think you can do much about that.
    What you can try is to download and install driver from graphic card manufacturer but you must do this on your own risk.
    Sorry friend but I dont have any other advice for you. I just think youve bought wrong notebook for such complex graphic operations. 2 GB RAM? I dont know.
    Good luck.

  • How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp

    How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp?

    If you want to dualboot you have to use boot camp i think. I think you have already a full disc and cannot make another partition I'm I right?
    Your question seems a bit blurry so I'm giving you a general tip here.
    If you want to just try the beta you can always use Sun's "Virtualbox".

  • Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.

    Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.

    They are absolutely now paired after doing all you said, as I reset both the Bose Link and the Iphone.  Now we have a pair, but no sound on the speaker or the iphone when they are connected. I know they are connected b/c the iphone says they are in the blue tooth setting AND the Bose has a solid blue tooth light on. 
    Now what?  This is beyond frustrating and only happened when I UPDATED ios!
    Thank you!

  • I currently have 1,177 photos on my iphone (4s) but it takes up 4.9 GB of space. Why is it so large? I do not use photostream - this is simply within my "Camera Roll". Other than deleting the photos, can someone tell me another solution?

    My friend has over 2,000 photos on her iphone and it only used 1.7 GB of space and I know I had at one point over 3,000 photos on my phone and still had space left for more.
    Any tips are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Melissa.

    When you open your camera app, does it say "HDR on" at the top?
    HDR photos are better quality but take up much more space.
    Also, go to Settings>photos and camera.  Scroll down to "keep normal photo".  Is it on?  This feature saves a normal copy and an HDR copy of every photo you take.
    I bet your friend has this feature turned off along with the HDR as well.

  • Upgraded to 8GB RAM - Windows 7 64-Bit Not Using All of It

    I just upgraded my 3.02GHz MacbookPro to 8GB RAM and in both Mac and Windows (64-Bit) it acknowledges that I have 8GB installed. However in Windows 7's task manager it shows:
    Total Physical Memory 8167MB
    Cached 4500MB
    Available 4557MB
    Free 91MB
    and it shows I'm only using 3.51GB....Why only 91MB free? In Adobe Illustrator I am getting not enough RAM errors so it seems like Windows 7 is tapping out at the old 4GB ceiling. Anyone know if this is a setting that is easily modified so I can use all 8GB?
    Thanks!

  • HTTP Server for Windows 64 bit not on the companion CD

    Hi,
    I cannot find the HTTP Server for Windows 64 bit on the companion CD. Any idea where I can get it from? For the 32bit version the HTTP Server is on the Companion CD.
    Thanks in advance,
    Florin

    If i am correct reason should be : Oracle Application Server 10g will run as a 32-bit application
    Following platforms have the same media in either case:
    Microsoft Windows 32-bit and EM64T/AMD64
    (Not Itanium-64, which is separate and referred to as "Windows 64-bit")
    Linux x86 and Linux x86-64
    Solaris Sparc 32-bit and Solaris Sparc 64-bit
    As the Oracle Application Server 10g will be run as a 32-bit application. See the Installation Guide or readme files for any specific steps on these 64-bit platforms.

  • Lion and snow leopard bootcamp, after installing lion snow leopard bootcamp with windows 7 does not boot

    Just installed Lion OS  on my 2nd mac (on the 1st without an issue) but as I had a partition with windows 7 (installed with Snow Leopard bootcamp).
    It seems that Lion OS renamed the Bootcamp partition but I am not able to rename it through OS.
    Is there a solution for this or do I need to re-install?
    Many thanks for your help

    Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
    mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that  you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition    i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

  • ITunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) did not fix choppy playback

    After reading all the other posts I tried installing the (64 bit for older video cards) and it did not solve my choppy playback with Music or Movies.  I am running windows 8.1, Intel i7-4500U CPU @ 1.8GHz, 8 GB RAM, 64-bit OS, x64 based processor, DELL Inspirion 15.  Never had problems until upgrading to 8.1 from 8.0.

    Did you see if changing the Play Audio Using select in Edit > Preferences > Playback to "Direct Sound" resolves the issue?  Otherwise you may want to consider rolling back to 12.0 and waiting until a future release is shown to resolve the playback issues in 12.1.  See Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • Windows 7 driver issue with graphics card

    Currently windows 7 will not let me play most games because my graphics card(s)will not officially show up in my computer and system properties. I have installed boot camp drivers on windows, and searched nvidias site for a driver, but it still wont let me play steam games or games off of a DVD. I have a macbook pro and neither my 9400m or 9600gt will show up or let me play games.
    even a link to the proper driver will do, please help!

    I originally posted this elsewhere but it seems appropriate here.
    I run a 27" quad iMac on Windows 7 and BC. For the most part it is OK but certain programs are glitchy. The vendors suggested uploading the latest ATI drivers for my Radeon 4850. Both Boot Camp and Windows tech support people tried to download the latest ATI drivers to my computer w/o success. Finally, an iMac "manager" told me that the latest ATI drivers wouldn't install on my computer because they were not Boot Camp drivers. ATI confirmed this. The latest available ATI driver is Boot Camp XP. ATI says Apple must request that ATI provide a Windows 7 Boot Camp driver. Apple apparently hasn't done this. I wrote Apple "Feedback" and suggest that others do so too.

  • WIndows XP Mode Virtual PC Graphics Card For Video Games

    Hi All,
    I have a GeForce GT525M  Graphics Card installed on my laptop. I am using Windows XP Virtual PC to let me play Spore as Windows XP is supported by Spore whereas Windows 7 is not. After an hour of searching for what my problem was, I found out that my
    XP virtual machine was using a virtual graphics card instead of my physical graphics card which supports what I need to play Spore.  I know
    that Virtual PC is not built for playing games but I really want to figure how to use my physical graphics card Instead of a virtual one for my benefit and for others benefit. 
    Any help as to how to use my physical graphics card would be greatly appreciated.

    You can't.  Virtual PC only presents the virtual video adapter to the
    virtual machine and there's not way to change that.
    VMWare and VirtualBox both support some enhanced video, but I don't know
    if they will do what you need, but I can bet the performance would not be
    very good, even if it worked.  virtualization just doesn't work well for
    any real-time activity, especially games.
