Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit boot camp issues...

Whats up guys?
So here is my problem:
I installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my macbook. The install went great and everything works like a charm except my headphone jack is red, and i have no audio, and no wifi. I installed 3.0 drivers from my Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard disc, and updated to 3.1, and it seems the update fails. This is the third day i have been trying to fix this, and i cant find anything. Apple doesn't even know what to do! I have tried DLing realtek drivers, nvidia drivers, intel chipset drivers, EVERYTHING! I don't know what to do, but i need windows for my new job! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Yeah i have done that a couple of times. When i navigate through the disk it doesn't even let me run setup.exe, so i installed from bootcamp64.msi. Then after 3.0 installs, i try to update to 3.1 and after the nvidia install, it just quits. When i use my version tracker it says that boot camp is in version 3.0, and it shows an update for 3.1 in software update. Now when i go to uninstall programs, it shows boot camp 3.1 is installed.
As far as the audio, i have tried that as well. If i manually put a driver into that device, it fails on every reboot. It only shows working on Microsoft High Deff Audio Drivers( and it actually dosnt even work, it just glows red on my head phone jack.)
Im stumped.

Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution?

I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

Installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit on Bootcamp issue

Hi I'm a newbie, I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit using boot camp. I went into boot camp to partition and split the 1 terabyte hardrive. half is for Leopard, the other half is for Windows Vista.
I followed the steps and popped in the disk, awhile later I get a message saying "Where do you want to install Windows?"
It's showing:
Disk 0 Partition 1 200 mb primary
Disk 0 Partition 2 466 gb Primary
Disk 0 unallocated space 128 mb
Disk 0 partition 3 Boot camp 464 gb Primary.
which ever one I click on it says "Windows Cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS"
I can't get passed this part, what do I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Stuart,
Vista needs its system partition to be formatted with NTFS.
The BootCamp Asistant does a pre-format with FAT32 since OSX can not write to NTFS partitions (only read).
Therefor you have to reformat the Windows partition with the Vista Installer to NTFS.
See page 11 of the BootCamp Setup Guide found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ (and it's also part of the BootCamp Assistant).

Windows Vista Ultimate installed via Boot Camp?

Can install Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit using the latest version of Boot Camp on OS X Lion 10.7.4, or is it not supported? This article is not clear: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461

You must install Windows 7 if you use OS X Lion or Mountain Lion. You can install Windows Vista, but the drivers aren't compatible with this edition

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit memory use issue on 890FXA-GD70 board

...Having read the stickies on memory recognition and speed potential, my issue is slightly different. As noted on my system below, I have 4 x 2GB memory sticks of G.Skill F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM DDR3-1600 with CL7-8-7-24 1.6V rating. I previously had only 2x2GB (4GB total) initially and windows performance test gave my memory a 5.5 out of 7.9 rating. I therefore added another 2x2GB of same exact memory to give me 8GB's. Reran the test, and still a memory score of 5.5. Now Resource Monitor of the physical memory notes that I have installed 8192 MB of memory, however, 5377 MB of it are hardware reserved which only shows 2815 MB of physical memory. Geekbench thinks I have only 2.75 GB of memory in my system. Both windows experience and geekbench gave my system low scores for memory. CPUZ notes that I have 8192 MB of Dual channel Unganged at a DRAM frequency of 828.0 MHz. My question is: How can I change my 'hardware reserved' memory into usable memory?

Have you enabled the memory remap feature in the bios ?
I searched the BIOS pages and could not find the memory remap feature. Can you tell me where this is in v 1.8B5?
Incidentally, I took my 4x2GB memory to a 790GX-G65 machine with v4.0 BIOS and my Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate loaded Revodrive SSD to it to see if that system's Phenom II 550BE driven machine to see if it could recognize and use all 8 GB's. Same exact results... Recognises all 8 GB's of memory but reserves over 5 GB's for hardware, etc. I am definitely missing something in translation here... H E L P :(

No external sound in Windows Vista Ultimate, using Leapord Boot Camp

I'm using a mac pro. I had this problem pre-leopard, and I thought leopard would possibly fix it, but it hasn't. The only sound I get when I'm in Windows comes out of the internal speaker. The externals don't work . But, they do work in OS X, so I know it's not the speakers. I tried re-installing the drivers, and that didn't work.
In device manager, the realtek High Definition Audio device looks to be installed correctly.

And in Vista don't forget to change the audio output in Vista itself.
Go into the control panel and choose the sound panel.
There are 3 tabs with each their audio out, make sure to choose the right audio output one and set it as default.

Boot Camp not able to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit!!???

Guys I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 & I'm having a problem installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit through boot camp. When I insert the windows installation disc it creates the partition but as soon as it restarts to proceed the installation, it hangs up there saying 'No Bootable Device. Please Insert Installation Disc and press any key to continue'. But when i was previously using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, I installed Windows 7 using the same disc and it proceeded without any issues. Can any body give me a solution to it please because I want Windows 7 in boot camp and I do not want to use it in any virtual machine like parallels desktop!!! I AM USING iMAC 2010 so its quite new!!!!!!

I am having the same problem. I have a very recent 27" iMac 3.4g i7 and I am trying to install Windows 7 64bit upgrade.Also running OSX 10.7.2. It also stalls out after expending files reporting that there are missing files with a error code 0x80070057. I was trying to install a fresh complete version but had bought the upgrade.. I had vista on another machine but had taken it off and was going to use the key for the upgrade. No windows had as of yet been installed. I later tried to install Vista as a way to upgrade to Win7,which went ok, but when I tried to upgrade to Win 7 64bit, I couldn't. I have tried this multiple times without success and have removed the boot camp partition after each failed attempt... Any Suggestions?? Thanks in advance

Install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Boot Camp

I am using a 17" MacBook Pro with and Intel i7 2.66 GHz processor, 8GB 1067 MHz RAM and a 7200RPM 500GB hard drive. I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Boot Camp. I do what Boot Camp tells me to do, but when my MacBook Pro restarts to boot from the Windows 7 disc, all I get get is a white screen! I have tried to boot manually from the Windows 7 disc, but it won't boot. It freezes on the white screen and I have to reboot the Mac using the Mac OS X partition. How can I fix this ASAP so I can install Windows 7? I need to get it done TONIGHT! I just found out that I am running the 3.0.2 version of boot camp on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 version. Is this the problem? Do I need to update my Boot Camp Utility? If so, how do I do it or do I have to install Windows Vista first since the update is a .exe file?

It is the Windows 7 64-bit disc that came with my Dell a while back, but I no longer have that Dell. I have also tried using my Vista Ultimate 64-bit disc and my Windows XP Pro SP3 disc, but none of these worked. Same result - white screen. All of these discs came with my previous PC computers that I used to have, but I no longer have those PCs. Only their discs. Is using discs that came with other computers for those computers the problem? Do I have to use a Windows disc that has not been used before?

The disks that come with PCs most often include only the drivers and applications required by the PC they were made for. You can not use these disks to install on other than the original hardware.

64 bit or 32 bit - Boot Camp Windows

Hello, I am going to download the release candidate of windows 7 to run in boot camp and I am wondering if i should download the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version

I installed both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of the latest RC of Windows 7 using parallels.
For some reason the 64bit version under Parallels does not load the AC97 driver so sound does not work. Manually installed the realtek AC97 driver causes sound to be intermittent.
The 32 bit version does not have this error.

"Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" Error Message Loop upon Startup of WIndows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Ok I have a HP Touchsmart 6000 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. It is my 74 year old mothers computer and about 3 months ago it started acting up. First thing that happened was the internal DVD Burner started working intermitently, recognizing
her QuickBooks backup DVD files occasionally. I got her a new internal DVD burner and it worked for a while. during that time on Startup Help and Support would all of a sudden popup right away. Then recently Adobe Acrobat would
launch a PDF file about Flash and keep opening multiple instances of it. Now her new DVD doesnt work again and on startup at the windows desktop she gets an error "Windows Explorer has Stopped Working". No matter what I click the error
keeps looping. No program has been opened that causes it to crash because the error happens immediately and keeps repeating. I have tried to boot to Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking and have tried System Restore to no avail.
I have ran Malwarebytes Antivirus, Malwarebytes AntiExploit, AntiRootkit as well as Combofix. I have run the AntiMalware software from Microsoft and have updated all the drivers for the HP system. To no succcess.
At one point the system did load and an error came up JAN2OSD failed to start due to missing ACPI or something like that. For that brief moment Explorer stopped crashing. When I finished updating driverss though the error came back.
Please Help as she is about to cry and no one wants to make a 74 year old woman cry.:)
Thanks,
Jeff

I hope that copying the contents while in Windows to a folder and navigating to specific drivers.... isn't a secret.
Some people will have to use Troubleshoot Compatibility (or change Properties on the installer).
OS X DVD( Boot Camp\Drivers )open BroadCom folder and click on BroadComNetworkAdapterWin7_64bit.
But not everyone even with that can get their Broadcom drivers working.

P45 Platinum, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, 8GB DDR2 PC8500 Problem

Anyone else experiencing this problem? or have a solution.
I tested Windows 7 Beta; I basically built a computer to test it.
Intel Quad Core P6600
MSI P45Platinum Motherboard Supports Max of 16BG & BIOS updated to current
4GB of Corsair (2 x 2GB) TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF (Native 1066MHz Overclocked DRAMS)
500 GB Western Digital SATAII
HIS HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 Video Card
No problem with Windows 7 Ultimate Beta 64-bit and Windows 7 Ultimate RC1 and finally Windows 7 Ultimate – Retail (RTM) 64-bit Boots in 15 seconds.
So I figure if 4 GB is great, then 8BG should be spectacular, So, I purchased an additional 4GB of Corsair (2 x 2GB) TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF memory and installed to fully populate my 4 dual channel slots.
To my dismay, my system boot time increased to 30 seconds and then the system became unstable and exhibited random crashes with all sort of page file and system errors.
I removed and swap the new 4GB memory for the old it boots and operates fine.
So then I thought maybe it was bad memory so I interchanged new 4GB for the existing 4GB and it worked fine. It seem to be an issue with installing more than 4GB.
I then searched the Internet for a solution and discovered this 8GB issue is a known problem with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with no solution in sight. Some seem to think it is a hardware issue and other seem to think its an software issue with Windows 7 Ultimate – 64-bit.
I have seen some info indicating that installing 8GB of DDR22 PC-6400 doesn't have the problem.
Thanks in Advance

The MB specifications state clearly that 1066 and above is OC only.

Overclocking
This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make
sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while
doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is
not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks caused
by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.
That means its up the user to determine if they want to try/risk the OC condition. No stability is guaranteed. Every manual states that OC is not recommended and at your own risk, possibly voiding the guarantee. How much more should the manufacturers do in terms of stating what is regarded as OC and that its risky? All the P45 chipset boards with DDR2 state the same in terms of 1066 being an OC, no matter from which manufacturer.
Yes, with tweaking some are lucky to run at the OC speeds, but probably above the chipset, Ram and CPU recommended voltages. The more memory you add the more stress on the memory controller and subsequently an increased chance of instability, especially at the OC speeds.

27" iMac, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Installation,

I bought Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Do I need to insert an USB memory stick (with the 64-bit display driver in it) on the back of the iMac before installing the Windows 7?
The iMac is up-to-date with the latest software upgrade.
THe OS is 10.6.6.
Thanks

I had to insert the USB drive after the boot camp wizard restart had occurred. I then ran into problems once I tried to install the boot camp drivers in Win 7, but that's a different story.
Have you had success? I'm struggling getting the audio to work.
