Will a 2007 2.8Ghz iMac run Dragon Age: Origins acceptably in Boot Camp

I know it'll have no problems on my i7 iMac, but I was just wondering about my older one with an ATI 2660PRO graphics card, 4GB RAM, and a 2.8GHZ Core 2 Extreme processor running Windows 7 in Boot Camp. What sort of settings would this computer be capable of running the game at? Thanks!

I'm fairly certain that you cannot use a 75GB Windows partition formatted as FAT.
I think it has to be NTFS if it is more than 32GB.
This is from an older version of the Boot Camp installation guide (OS X 10.5)
One other possibility is that the default Windows video driver used at installation is somehow incompatible with your ATI Radeon chipset. ATI has an Apple Boot Camp driver here http://www.official-drivers.com/installer/?seed=ati&gclid=COOhrP6Vq60CFc3DKgod71 _NoA
Unfortunately that download a setup.exe file, which means you have to have Windows running in order to install it, so that won't help during installation.

Will my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 run on Mavericks? I have a 2007-08 model iMac, running Snow Leopard.

Will my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 run on Mavericks?
I have a 2007-08 model iMac, running Snow Leopard.
Thanks!

Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks into it and "dual-boot" to determine which flavor of OS X you are running. DO NOT install Mavericks over your Snow Leopard environment as Mavericks will destroy it!
You can then experiment using Mavericks all you want with the ability to boot back into Snow Leopard as needed.

Qosmio w NVIDIA 460M can run Dragon Age 2 at Max Settings!

Hi there!
As a Qosmio laptop owner with an NVIDIA GTX 460M GPU, I can confirm that you can now run Dragon Age 2 with all graphics settings to the MAX!
As at 31st March 2011, I managed to get smooth average FPS of at least 30 with AA set to 8X and AF set to 16x.
All DX11 graphic settings were ticked and maxed out. VSync, which is useless unless you are using an SLI GPU, was turned off.
The game is smooth and stutter free. And more importantly, it is very stable and does not crash.
Yes, to do that, you need the following:-
1. NVIDIA Drivers
Just go to the NVIDIA website and download the latest Beta drivers v270.51
This can be installed onto Qosmio laptops without any hacking whatsoever.
2. MSI Afterburner
You can google and download this.
The 460m GPU can be overclocked safely to 780Mhz Core clock and 1350Mhz Memoory Clock.
Now, proceed to enjoy your Dragon Age 2 game.
The visuals are really stunning with everything cranked up to the max!
I'm glad to have purchased a Toshiba Qosmio X505 laptop.
Very few laptops can run Crysis 1, Crysis 2 and Dragon Age 2 with maximum graphics and cost less than US$2k (or US$1.5 k for those with slightly less features).
All hail the mighty Toshiba Qosmio laptop!!!
Now I'll be getting back to my Dragon Age 2 game.
Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q898 8GB Ram Win 7 x64 Ultimate (w USB 3.0)

I can also confirm that Crysis 2 (and 1) both run very smoothly at the maximum graphics settings on my Qosmio.
DA2 runs with DX11 and is a more GPU demanding game than Crysis 2 (and 1).
So you can definitely run both Crysis games with the maximum settings.
Crysis 2 is worth purchasins as it is set in an urban "jungle" and has a different feel to the whole game. The cinematics are also very good. There are times when I feel like I am watching a Japanese Anime movie.

2011 iMac won't install Windows 7 in Boot Camp

I'm attempting to install Windows 7 x64 on my 2011 (Thunderbolt) iMac via a burned, bootable DVD which was previously used to install Windows 7 x64 on my friend's MacBook Pro. Apparently, the disc works. After partitioning one of my internal drives in Boot Camp, downloading the drivers and stuff Apple provided, putting that stuff on a FAT-formated flash drive, then attempting to install Windows, the install fails. Well, it doesn't really fail. Before I'm even given the option of installing, right after clicking the "start setup" button in the Windows Installer, I get an error saying "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok." I go to scan and browse the flash drive for the drivers which Apple provided, and I get the same message over and over again regardless of what I click. I ran Software Update before doing any of this, and I have also attempted to install the x32 version of Windows 7 as well, as to no avail. I would try burning the Apple-provided drivers and stuff to a CD or DVD, but obviously there is no way to insert such a disc into the drive since the Windows disc is already in.
These are my computer's specs, if they matter:
2011 Thunderbolt iMac
2TB storage, partitioning 100GB for Windows
3.4GHz i7 quad-core
16GB RAM
Radeon 6970 with 2GB VRAM
...attempting to install Windows 7 Home Premium (I think) x64 (or x32 if I have to)

Update: I've successfully installed Windows by re-burning my Windows .iso image at 4x. The install went smoothly, but Windows is now unable to boot. After installing and going through its series of reboots, then fails to boot after restarting (after given the option to select what method of updating you want Windows to use).
This is some of the stuff Windows says, on a black screen with white text, when the boot fails:
mcfg 0x8ee39000 0x3c 0x8ee0f000 0x195000 0x3
(insert a ton more of that ^ stuff)

I've dug through various archived forum postings in the programming bowels of the internet. Apparently there was/has been/is a known issue in which Macs refuse to boot Windows when the Mac in question has a 2TB hard drive. This is due to some GRUB issue or something.
I have no idea what to do. I need Windows, and I'm quite sure no Genius appointment will help me solve this problem. So much for a Mac seamlessly running Windows via Boot Camp.

Need Working Drivers for Macbook 2,1 running Windows 8 (64-bit) using Boot Camp 5 (Mountain Lion)

So I found my old Macbook 2,1 on Leopard the other day and decided to make it my dedicated Windows computer. I wanted to run Windows 8 on it, so I figured out I needed Boot Camp 5. Then I realized Boot Camp 5 only runs on Mountain Lion, so I went though the process up updating it (had to use MLPostFactor since it's techincally unsupported on my mac.) After getting it updated to Mountain Lion, I went and used Boot Camp 5 to install Windows 8 64-bit. However, when I try to load any Boot Camp Driver Files (I've tried the drivers for BootCamp 3, 4, and 5) it says it is unsupported on my computer model. I suspect this is because of the fact that Windows 8 shouldn't be on my computer. Without these files, I can't right click, among other things, which is pretty important. Can anyone help me get these drivers loaded?

Buying new iMac 3.06 which windows program for boot camp to get

I am buying a iMac 3.06 and their is a deal to get boot camp with several windows options:
Vista, XP versions either standard or premium or pro versions.
I am retired and do not have any need for windows. once in a while someone sends something that I cannot open in e-mail and my grandson has a PC with standard vista.
If it were not a nominal charge I would not even consider it.
Any thoughts about which windows program to go with,
Greg

Your system and needs sounds like you might want to forgo native dual-boot of Windows and invest in Parallels or Fusion, both are virtual machines so you can run Windows inside OS X, side by side.
Or you might just need a program like OpenOffice, NeoOffice. I'd wait and see if OS X can help you manage files. Or tell us what type of files you need to view. Your iMac comes with iWork which can open some files. You may not need Office for Mac or Windows.
XP tends to be common choice and just 32-bit with SP2 (or later).

Display is set to Mobile PC Display on Windows when I run it on Macbook Pro via boot camp

Just installed Windows using boot camp. I downloaded the drivers that were provided by boot camp assistant. After installing the display says: Mobile PC Display. I have 15 inch Macbook Pro. What display driver do I need to get the right resolution? Here is a screen shot http://i.stack.imgur.com/hIvj6.png
My boot camp is version 4.0 (424) and doesn't look like it needs updates.

He says that at this writing, there are no Linux graphics Drivers for the wacky dual graphics in the current 15" MacBook Pro, and there are no Linux Drivers for the current proprietary WiFi chip.
I had some recent reports saying Ubuntu will run on actual MB-Pro's, although it's not a easy "click and run" task to get it work.

After Effects CS6 11.0 will not open on an iMac running Mavericks OS 10.9.3. Why?

My iMac snow leopard 10.6.8 is boot camp not upgrade to OS x Lion!!!

how to upgrade?

Command + r won't work with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) - it only works with Lion and Mountain Lion. Did you buy the Mac new - if so it would have shipped with 2 grey disks, one for restoring and one with the iLife apps and a few other bits. If these are missing you'll need to call Apple and purchase replacements giving them the serial number of the Mac. They will make a modest charge for this.

I have an iMac 8.1, OSX 10.6.8 with XP running in Boot Camp partition. My USB keyboard (MB110LL/A) was damaged by water. I ordered a new keyboard from the Apple Store. I was sent model MB110LL/B. Special function keys will not work in XP. Any Ideas?

I have an iMac 8.1, OSX 10.6.8, Boot Camp 3.2 running Windows XP. My original keyboard (MB110LL/A) was damaged by a water spill. I ordered a new one from the Apple Store. They sent me MB110LL/B, function keys need updated drivers (Boot Camp 3.3) which will only install if Windows 7 is installed. I have a large amount of older software that runs under XP but not Windows 7. The Apple support team basically said "too bad". If they replace a keboard model with a new model, they should at least make it backwards compatable or provide a Boot Camp update that will allow this model to work on older iMacs. Reloading Bootcamp 3.3 several times has no effect because it does not detect Windows 7. Any Ideas or help would be appreciated.

It is free. It is beta. It works well - I use it on mine and two PCs as well...
MS Security Essentials will no longer install due to compatibiliity issues - that is the idea of a beta - and the RC could be out in June.
Windows 7 doesn't work great on any Mac, or Apple drivers, fan cvontrol to manage heat, and other issues.
Put 8 in and get to know it, then when the RC comes out you'll be ready

IMac running Lion will not read windows 7 dvd

Hello-
I am currently trying to partition a part of my hard drive to run Windows 7. I open boot camp assistant and get all the way to where it says "install", I insert the windows 7 dvd and my imac spins it then spits it back out. I have tried several different things yet the results are all the same. I thought the drive may be bad so I tried a normal dvd and a cd, both read fine. I then tried an apple install dvd (lion) and the imac could not read that disc. So the problem seems to be that my computer just can't read install or data dvd's. Has anyone else had this issue?

If you want to run MS Windows Simultaneously with OS X you can buy either Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Follow the installation instructions for the app you choose, both do the same thing. There are several advatages of using Parallels or Fusion including:
1. Running OS X & Windows simultaneously
2. You can run Windows XP, Vista and/or Windows 7
You can also use Boot Camp which comes with OS X to run Windows 7. The downside is you can only run one operating system at a time, either MS Windows or OS X. If you are a Windows gamer this is the best option for 3D gaming. In order to install follow the instructions in Boot Camp Assistant, you can find BCA in Applications - Utilities - Boot Camp Assistant and then follow the on-screen instructions.

How do I keep my iMac running smoothly?

I now know that Mac Keeper is bad news. What can I do, or is there a program that will keep my 27 inch iMac running clean and smooth?

If you search MacKeeper on these forums and elsewhere you'll discover many tales of woe and how it has mucked up otherwise perfectly healthy Macs. All MacKeeper seems to do well is con people into thinking they need it. Some useful information here in Klaus1's User Tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3030
It's really only necessary to resort to third party applications to try and resolve a specific issue, so if everything is running tickety-boo just forget about it - your Mac will take care of itself.
Avoid all apps that claim to 'clean/speed up/protect, etc.' your Mac. Hopefully others will spot this thread and add their comments so that you can get a variety of views.
